Apple has officially presented the new generation of the iPad Pro, equipped with the M5 chip, its most advanced processor to date. The new model not only represents a significant leap in performance and graphics, but also in artificial intelligence capabilities, connectivity, and efficiency. Available in 11 and 13 inch sizes, the iPad Pro with M5 promises to bring the professional and creative experience to a new level.
M5: A generational leap focused on AI
The heart of the new iPad Pro is the M5 chip, an Apple-designed SoC with a completely renewed architecture that integrates a 10-core GPU and a Neural Accelerator in each core, which multiplies performance in artificial intelligence tasks. According to the company, the new chip offers up to 3,5 times the AI power of the M4 model and up to 5,6 times the power of the iPad Pro with the M1 chip.
These improvements translate into much more agile processes for generating images through broadcast models, video editing with smart masking, or creative applications such as Draw Things and DaVinci Resolve.
Additionally, its 16-core Neural Engine enables AI models to run on the device itself with unprecedented power efficiency.
Graphics performance, next-level CPU, and new N1 and C1X chips
El third-generation ray tracing engine elevates the realism of gaming and 3D rendering, with a 50% improvement over the previous model and over 6x the performance compared to iPad with M1. The 10-core CPU, with four high-performance cores and six efficient cores, strikes a perfect balance for demanding workflows, whether it's graphic design, architecture, 3D modeling, or professional video editing.
The M5 chip too doubles the read and write speed of storage and increases unified memory bandwidth by 30%, significantly improving multitasking and the ability to handle complex projects. The new iPad Pro features the N1 chip, developed by Apple to deliver Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, and Thread, with greater stability and performance on wireless networks.
The Wi-Fi + Cellular models also incorporate the C1X modem, which improves mobile connection speed by 50% and reduces energy consumption by 30%. compared to the previous generation.
Ultra-thin design and Ultra Retina XDR display
The new iPad Pro maintains Apple's signature minimalist design, Now even thinner: 0,53 cm for the 11-inch model and 0,51 cm for the 13-inch model. Its Ultra Retina XDR display with tandem OLED technology reaches 1.600 nits of peak brightness and offers spectacular contrast, with support for ProMotion and True Tone. Apple also offers a nano-textured glass option, ideal for demanding lighting environments or precision color work.
Along with the new hardware, Apple debuts iPadOS 26, a version that introduces a visual redesign with the new Liquid Glass, an interactive translucent material that responds to movement and ambient light. The system also incorporates a new window manager, redesigned context menus, improvements to the Files app, and the addition of Preview to the iPad, with support for PDF editing using Apple Pencil.
Artificial intelligence is more present than ever thanks to Apple Intelligence, with real-time translation in apps like FaceTime and Messages, new smart actions in Shortcuts, and improvements to Reminders and Notes.
Redesigned accessories and sustainability
El The new Apple Pencil Pro includes haptic feedback. and a squeeze gesture for more natural interactions, while the Magic Keyboard now features an aluminum wrist rest and a full row of function keys. As part of its environmental commitment, Apple says the new iPad Pro contains 30% recycled materials, including 100% recycled aluminum and cobalt, and is manufactured with more than 50% renewable energy.
The iPad Pro with M5 chip It can now be reserved on the Apple website and will arrive at stores on October 22. Prices in Spain start at €1.099 for the 11-inch model with Wi-Fi and €1.449 for the 13-inch model. The new Apple Pencil Pro (€149) and Magic Keyboard (from €349) will also be available, along with the usual discounts for the education sector.
