Unified memory is advantageous for loading large models, but CUDA-specific tools and multi-GPU workflows should be explored separately.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What LLM can be run on the MBP M5 Pro 64GB?
- You can compare MiniCPM5-2B, Qwen3.6 35B-A3B (MoE), etc. with 4K input and recommended formats. Memory requirements vary depending on model and context length.
- What is the local LLM power of the MBP M5 Pro 64GB?
- Expected to draw approximately 90W under sustained load, with an actual range estimated between 60–120W.
- Are the displayed token speeds ground truth?
- This is an estimated range calibrated to the calculator against official hardware specifications and verified benchmark ranges. Runtime, cooling, quantization may vary depending on file and context length.
Equipment to compare together

Mac mini M4 Pro 48GB
When you repeatedly read documents and edit code with a 27B model, each wait matters as well as capacity. This page uses the 20-core GPU, 48GB configuration. Distinguish it from less expensive listings with a 16-core GPU.
similar memory
Mac mini M4 32GB
Consider this configuration if you want to run 27B Q4 without building a new PC. Moving up makes sense if 24GB was running out of memory. If the model and cache already fit, however, choosing 32GB does not make the chip itself faster.

RTX 5090 32GB
Compare this card if you repeatedly generate images or run 27B–35B inference and want shorter waits. But 32GB is still a limit. Buying on compute performance alone, without checking the model, input and image resolution, may leave you offloading again.
