The M5 is basically no better than the M2. It's the same chip made on a newer node at TSMC. Moreover it can't do anything very well. The laptops get hot, forcing the CPU to throttle all the time, so benchmarks are meaningless. But even with good cooling the GPU cores are slow as FUCK and the high memory bandwidth is wasted
