In case you're wondering if Apple is keeping up with the times, I'm not sure.

Maybe the M4 and M3 also use PCIe 5, but you just so rarely hear Apple talk about this.

And unless you find someone who's really dug into the chips, it doesn't come up, especially since it's not like there's any PCI slots or anything.

But yeah, PCIe 5 is in there.

This is from the Mac and I website, by the way.

It's not from the...

Oh, sorry.

As I said, this is translated by Google, so forgive us Germans if this is not good.

Literally, I'm just using Google Translate to translate a web page.

It's the best we got.

And again, the quotes are translated too.

Even though I don't think Anon speaks German, these quotes are in German and then translated back to English.

But this is as close as you'll ever get anyone from Apple to confirm the M5 Ultra or some other M5 chip.

At the moment, we have only announced the M5 Pro and M5 Max.

You sure have.

Yeah, so I'm looking forward to something that's not an M5 Pro and M5 Max in the Mac studio for WWDC.

So many people have said this, both officially and off the record, this sentiment that Apple builds chips for products.

Apple doesn't build chips and then figure out what to do with them.

That's part of the whole deal with Apple Silicon is they're not just building, oh, we should just have a, you know,

a good line of chips then we'll figure out what to do with them it's like no when a chip is designed it's for specific products now sometimes it's easy it's like oh we're making the chip for the iphone you think we're gonna have an iphone we're totally gonna have an iphone but even there it's like what features will this iphone have what are the requirements of this iphone what things do you want us to make better than the previous one um and sometimes it goes awry as we'll discuss later um but even like we've heard things about um
