Unified memory (max configuration)
64 GB

Plan memory before choosing a model

The catalog lists a family maximum of 64 GB of unified memory. Enter your installed amount; smaller configurations have less space. Model weights, context cache and runtime overhead must share the available memory. Capacity alone does not establish which model will fit or how fast it will run. Use the memory-fit calculator for your model and context as an estimate, then verify with the intended runtime. No signed M5 Pro measurement is available yet.
