A report on Wednesday morning by South Korean venue ETnews says that TSMC is in the process of packaging early M5 chip production. Packaging is the last step before a new chip can be put in devices, meaning that the M5 chip is now officially in mass production.

The M5 iPad Pro is expected in late 2025, Macs will get M5 late in the year, and another rumor places it in a second-generation Apple Vision Pro product before the end of the year.

The M5 chip is expected to retain about the same architecture as the M1 through M4 chips, with the GPU and CPU on the same die. However, M5 Pro is rumored to split the design for the first time…

[T]he M5 processor is said to be produced by TSMC using its N3P technology, which is expected to be seen first in the iPhone 18 range.
