Computing Macbook Pro M4 vs M5

[roydan]

It's about time I get a new computer.

Now, leave the OS battle outside for a sec because I use both PC and Mac and they both suck equally and I'm not smart enough for unix/linux or whatever you clever youngsters use.

I'll buy a PC too soon, I promise.

What's the difference between M4 and M5 (not pro or max)? I aim for the 14" screen if it matters.

While on Apple M5 you get 30 FPS in Cyberpunk 2077, the game is unplayable on M4 with 20 FPS.
That's the main difference.
The same applies to other things, the difference in performance is 10 - 30% depending on scenario.

Think about ecology, you can save so much power if you play on Apple M5.

I think it's a good machine if you want to travel. Probably the best actually. Not Pro or Max version!

Does M5 have any benefits in performance or is it just better for cows?

Faster SSD, slightly faster videos and images render times, better for local AI. 10 - 30% better depending on scenario.

It's not noticeable if you don't render or generate with AI 24/7.
