I-TSMC ikwazile ukusebenzisa ithuba elinikwe yinkampani yeCupertino kakuhle. Yayeka ukusebenzisa i-Samsung njengomthengisi kwiminyaka embalwa edlulileyo, I-iPhone 6s sele ibonise ukuba kunokwenzeka ukusebenzisa i-Samsung kunye ne-TSMC processors. Ngoku umsebenzi wefemu yaseMntla Merika uyavuzwa.
I-TSMC sele inayo yonke into elungele ukuyila kunye nokwenza iiprosesa ezilandelayo ze-5nm zezixhobo ze-Apple ezifana ne-iPhone kunye ne-iPad., okuza kubandakanya uphuculo olufanelekileyo ngokwemigaqo yokuzimela kunye nesantya sokusebenza. Inkampani yeCupertino ibonakala izimisele ukuqhubeka nokubonelela ngeyona ndlela ilungileyo yokusebenza kwi-iPhone iminyaka emininzi.
Njengoko sele sitshilo, ngokutsho AppleInsiders, I-TSMC sele isebenzela ukugqibelela indlela yokuvelisa abayisebenzisayo ukuyiqhelanisa neeprosesa ze-5nm. Kuyabonakala ukuba, ukwenza ezi processors kubandakanya umngcipheko ophezulu wokwenza izinto, yiyo loo nto ngoku lixesha lokubona ukuba bayenza njani inzuzo kubo bobabini umthengi kunye nabo. Siyazi ukuba i-Apple kunye ne-TSMC banobudlelwane obusondeleyo ngokufanelekileyo, ngoko ke kunokwenzeka ukuba inkampani yeCupertino iya kugqiba ukutyala imali kumaziko e-TSMC ukuze ixhamle ekuhambeni kwexesha ngokwenziwa kwezi processors, njengoko yenze ngezihlandlo ezikhethekileyo. Foxconn.
Ezi processors ze-5nm ziyakuphucula isantya se-15nm processors ukuya kuthi ga kwi-7%, i-SRAM engcono. kunye neenzuzo eziza nokulula kokusebenzisa i-EUV lithography. I-Miniaturization iya kunceda iitheminali ukuba zifake amacandelo ahlukeneyo kwi-motherboard yazo enikezelwe kweminye imisebenzi engaphaya kokulungiswa kwedatha, njengokufakela iibhetri ezinkulu ezibanceda bafumane ukuzimela okukhulu. Kuhle ukuva iindaba malunga nobudlelwane obusondeleyo be-Apple kunye ne-TSMC.
