The big difference Apple isn’t really drawing attention to is memory bandwidth. The M6 tops out at 170GB/s and 32GB of unified memory, whereas the M5 Pro offers 307GB/s and up to 64GB–nearly twice the bandwidth, as well as twice the memory ceiling. That is the number to watch for AI inference, not just CPU and GPU benchmark deltas.
The less amusing part is pricing: a halfway decent M6 configuration with 32GB RAM and 1TB storage lands at roughly €2,000, and an M5 Pro with 64GB RAM and 2TB storage costs about another €2,000 on top. And the Mac Studio can be yours for… a kidney, or two.
