Sourcing and disambiguation notes
The base M5 runs 153GB/s in every machine Apple puts it in, so this figure is the chip's, not this laptop's. That is below the 200GB/s floor of the fitted Mac efficiency, which was measured entirely on Max-tier silicon, so no speed estimate is published here: the machine appears in the catalogue with its memory fit answered and its throughput left blank rather than extrapolated. Price left empty -- the MacBook Pro buy page carries sixteen figures and renders their configuration labels in script, so no single one could be tied to this configuration at the source.

Measurements
Decode is token generation — the speed you feel while an answer streams. Prefill is prompt processing — the wait before it starts. Why bandwidth predicts decode speed.

What it can run
Fit is arithmetic, not a measurement — how it is computed. Against 16 GB; models that fit are listed largest first.
No modeled quant fits in 16 GB.
