Njengezinye iinkampani ezininzi ezinkulu, iApple ihlala ifumana ezinye iinkampani ukuphucula iinkonzo zayo kunye neemveliso. Ngokutsho ArsTechnica, Ukufunyanwa okulandelayo kwenkampani yeCupertino kunokuba Iiteknoloji zokucinga, noTim Cook kunye nenkampani bebethethathethana naye ixesha elithile. I-Imagination Technologies ngumyili weePowerVR GPUs ezifakwe kwiiprosesa ze-A9 kunye ne-A9X ezibandakanyiweyo kuyo nayiphi na i-iPhone, iPod Touch yangoku okanye i-iPad. I-Apple isebenzisa uyilo lwale nkampani kwiprosesa ye-A4 abayifakileyo kwi-iPhone 4 nakwi-iPad 2.
Amarhe ajikeleze ukuba uApple wayeceba ukwenza eyakho i-GPU yezixhobo eziphathwayo kunye nomdla wokufumana i-Imagination Technologies exoxwe yi-ArsTechnica iya kuqinisekisa la marhe. Nangona iicomputer ze-A-series chips sele zisebenzisa i-PowerVR GPUs yesiko okanye elungisiweyo, ubukhulu becala basebenzisa uyilo oluqhelekileyo. Ukuba iApple ithathe isigqibo sokufumana inkampani ethathela ingqalelo ukuthenga ngalo mzuzu, inkampani ebalekayo uTim Cook iyakuyila i-100% yeGPU eza kusetyenziswa zizixhobo zayo ze-iOS.
Ngaphandle kweengxelo zangaphambili, uApple uthi ayicwangcisi ukwenza isithembiso sokuthenga i-Imagination Tech, kodwa ibambe iingxoxo ezithile nenkampani.

Ngaphandle kolwazi lwamva nje, uApple uthi ayicwangcisi ukwenza isithembiso sokuthenga i-Imagination Tech.Kodwa ibinengxoxo nenkampani
Ukuthengwa kwe-Imagination Technologies kuya kuvumela i-Apple ukuba izenzele ii-GPU zayo, kodwa ...
Ukuba kuthengiwe, ukufunyanwa kwe-Imagination Technologíes kuya kuba yenye yezona zinto zibalulekileyo ezenziwe ngu-Apple kwimbali yayo. Okwangoku une Ixabiso le-850 yezigidi zeedola, Ixabiso elonyuke nge-20% okoko i-Ars Technica yapapasha umdla kwinkampani ye-apile yokuthenga inkampani eyila ii-GPUs kwizixhobo zazo eziphathwayo ezenziwa ngu-Apple uqobo ukhawuleze wakhanyela. Kodwa akukho nkampani ithanda ukuba izicwangciso zabo zaziwe ngaphambi kokuba bazenze kwaye iApple ayizukuncipha ngale ndlela, kufuneka sikhumbule xa bathenga ii-Beats Electronics kunye nomsindo weenkokheli zenkampani yeCupertino ukubona ukuba uGqr. UDre uthumele ividiyo ebhiyozela le ntengiselwano.
Ngokuthenga i-Imagination Technologies, i-Apple iya kulawula enye into ebalulekileyo ye-iPhone, i-iPod Touch kunye ne-iPad kwaye ifumane ukuzimela ngakumbi kwezinye iinkampani. Kwelinye icala, iiprosesa zoluhlu lwe-A zezona zibonelela ngomsebenzi ogqwesileyo unyaka nonyaka kwaye ngokuyinxenye siyabulela kulawulo lwenkampani yeCupertino kwisoftware nakwizixhobo zayo. Ukuba bayile iiGPU zabo, ukusebenza kwezixhobo ze-iOS kungangcono. Siza kubona ukuba kwenzeka ntoni ekugqibeleni, kodwa ithiyori intle kakhulu. Ngaba kunokwenzeka ukuyisebenzisa?
