This week, Apple announced fall hardware updates across multiple devices \u2014 pretty much every major category, besides iPhones and AirPods. Don\u2019t get too excited: It\u2019s not a redesign reveal, but we\u2019re expecting a tangible performance jump for both the iPad Pro and MacBook Pro.<\/p>\n

With the new M5 chip<\/a> (no Pro or Max versions so far), Apple used the same 3-nanometer fabrication process for the M5 as it did for the M4. The new chip has 10 GPU cores and 10 CPU cores, along with a 16-core Neural Engine. Apple claims the M5 has the \u201cworld\u2019s fastest CPU core\u201d with up to 20 percent faster multithreaded performance compared to the M4 chip of the previous MacBook Pro. Graphics performance also gets a significant boost too. The M5 MacBook Pro ($1,599), otherwise, has identical specs to its M4 predecessor, right down to the same dimensions, weight and 70-watt power adapter.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, inside the iPad Pro<\/a>, Apple claims it has more than four times the peak GPU compute performance of the M4. If you\u2019re looking to use the new iPad Pro for video tasks, Apple says that video transcoding is six times faster than the old M1 iPad Pro from 2021. The 11-inch iPad Pro starts at $999 for the 11-inch model and $1,299 for the 13-inch model.<\/p>\n

And it seems to have a lot of M5 chips to use: The Vision Pro<\/a> gets one and a seemingly more comfortable Dual Knit Band. The M5 Vision Pro should last half an hour longer than the original model, as well, according to Apple.<\/p>\n

The news you might have missedLess robot, more arm.\"TMA\"<\/p>\n

Chinese phone maker Honor says its next phone will feature a camera on a pop-out mechanical arm. Talking to CNBC, Honor said it will be a robot phone, framing it around AI innovation \u2014 something the company is throwing millions of dollars at. I enjoy that its camera arm reminds me of the ubiquitous DJI Osmo Pocket 3<\/a>, beloved by bloggers, creators and tourists that get in my way. If its foldout camera can track, stabilize video footage and focus on its own, it could be a cool feature. The camera seems to fold away inside the back of the future device, but can it be used while tucked away there? We don\u2019t know. What are these amazing future AI experiences? No idea. Questions, questions, questions. Honor said it plans to share more details at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona early next year.<\/p>\n

Not sure if this is an Xbox.\"TMA\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The co-creation handheld from ASUS ROG and Xbox is here. The Ally X is arguably the best handheld console for Xbox games yet. It\u2019s not just bigger grips and familiar button layouts, but they do help. No, the bigger evolution is how Microsoft has finessed the UI and software, making it more console-like and less like you need a mouse to navigate everything.<\/p>\n

Perhaps most importantly, when the ROG Xbox Ally X costs $1,000, the AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme chip offers a lot of power, enough to handle rich flagship games, with some setting tinkering. If you want the best performance from the Ally X, you\u2019ll need to plug it into the wall.<\/p>\n
