Ingqondo yeprosesa ye-A10
Ukuba la marhe ayinyaniso, zonke iiprosesa ze-iPhone 7 ziya kwenziwa yiNkampani yokuThengisa yaseTaiwan, eyaziwa ngokuba yiTSMC. Izizathu ikakhulu zibini: Isamsung ayizokwazi ukwenza iichips kwinkqubo ye-10nm kwaye iApple iya kuxhomekeka kancinci kwenye yeentshaba zayo eziphambili. Ukuthatha ingqalelo kwinkqubo yokuvelisa yeeprosesa, oku kunokuhlala kunjalo ixesha elide, ukusukela oko I-TSMC kunye ne-chip ye-ARM yoyilo babhengeze ukuba bazakusebenzisana ukuyila Iiprosesa ze7nm.
Kwizixhobo zakwangoko ze-iOS, iApple isebenzise uyilo lwe-ARM de baqala ukusebenzisa ezabo ngokufika kwe-iPhone 5, kodwa baye baqhubeka nokusebenzisa imiyalelo ukusukela ngoko. Kwelinye icala, i-TSMC ibingomnye wabenzi beeprosesa eziphambili ze-iPhone, iPod Touch kunye ne-iPad, into ebonakala ngathi ayizukutshintsha kwiminyaka emininzi. Ubuncinci, uTim Cook kunye nenkampani baya kuqhubeka bayithemba inkampani yaseTaiwan kude kube ngo-2018, njengoko ubambiswano lwe-TSMC-ARM lindele ukuqala ukuvelisa iiyunithi zokuqala zeetshipsi ze-7nm ngo-2017 ukuqala kwayo imveliso ngobuninzi ngo-2018.
I-A12 iya kwenziwa yi-TSMC kwaye iya kuba yi-7nm
Ukuba sithathela ingqalelo ukuba iApple iyakwazisa iprosesa ye-A10 ngo-2016 kwaye imveliso yeeprosesa ze-7nm izakuqala ngo-2018, singacinga ukuba Inkqubo yeA12 Iya kwenziwa yi-TSMC kwinkqubo ye-7nm. Ezantsi kwenani le-nanometer kwinkqubo yokuvelisa, kokukhona ukusebenza ngakumbi kunye nokuhla kokusebenzisa, ke, ithiyori, iprosesa ye-iPhone 8 iya kuba nokusetyenziswa okungaphantsi kwesiqingatha se-iPhone 6s.
Kodwa gcinani engqondweni ukuba ayikuko konke ukusetyenziswa okuxhomekeke kwiprosesa. Eyona nto ilambela amandla siscreen, into enokutshintsha ngo-2018 ukubandakanya isikrini AMOLED. Ukudibanisa iprosesa ye-7nm kunye nescreen esisebenzisa amandla kuphela kwiiphikseli ezisetyenzisiweyo, sinokucinga ukuba ukuzimela kwe-iPhone 8 kuya kuba kukhulu kakhulu kunoko kwe-iPhone 6s. Masithembe njalo.
