Kungamahemuhemu ayandayo: I-iOS 18 izothuthukisa amandla e-Siri kanye ne-Artificial Intelligence (AI) kulo lonke uhlelo lokusebenza. Nokho, ukuze ukwazi ukwenza lokhu ngendlela enamandla kakhulu, U-Apple uhlela ukwethula kuma-chips ayo alandelayo (i-M4 ye-Mac ne-A18 ye-iPhone) iNeural Engine enamandla futhi ethuthukisiwe ngenani eliphakeme lama-cores ngokusho kwamahemuhemu akamuva avela ku-Economic Daily News.
Kodwa kusho ukuthini ukuba ne-Neural Engine ethuthukisiwe? Kahle kahle thuthukisa ukusebenza kwedivayisi ku-AI kanye nemisebenzi yokufunda ngomshini. Njengoba wazi, kunamahemuhemu anamandla mayelana nokwenza ngcono okuzohlanganiswa ne-Siri ne-iOS 18 ngokwamakhono e-Generative AI futhi lokhu kufanele kuhambisane nalokhu kuthuthukiswa kwehadiwe kuma-chips amasha e-Apple. Eyokuqala, sizoyibona ku-WWDC ngoJuni, okwesibili, kuzodingeka silinde kuze kube uSepthemba ngesethulo se-iPhone ukuze sikwazi ukukuqinisekisa.
Ukuyisa lolu lwazi ku-iPhone, i-A18 entsha izoqala nge-iPhone 16 ngoSepthemba olandelayo futhi lamahemuhemu abonakala ekhombisa ukuthi Amakhono e-AI angaba okuthile okukhethekile kulawa mamodeli njengoba amamodeli amanje angeke abe nale Neural Engine ethuthukisiwe ezodinga i-AI ukuze ithuthukise ukusebenza kwayo.
I-Neural Engine ibilokhu inathi kusukela ku-iPhone 8, 8 Plus kanye no-X lapho iqale khona ngama-cores amabili kuphela. futhi yadlula ku-XS ne-XR ngokuthuthukela kuma-cores ayi-8 futhi yafinyelela ku-iPhone 12 kuya phambili lapho isele namacores angu-16. Ngasohlangothini lweMac, yaqala ngama-chips e-M1 lapho aqala khona ngokuqondile ngama-cores angu-16 futhi ahlala enjalo ngaphandle kwamamodeli e-Mac Studio ne-Pro angahlomisa ama-cores afika kwangu-32 nge-chip ye-M1 Ultra noma ye-M2 Ultra.
Sizonaka kakhulu yonke into engaphuma ku-iPhone 16 nokunye uma ihlobene i-facelift ye-Siri enamandla e-AI nayo yonke into engahlanganiswa ne-iOS. Unyaka ongaphezu kothakazelisa uyeza we-Apple ngale kokwethulwa kwehardware nakho okuhleliwe. Ngabe kuzoba unyaka wesoftware kanye ne-AI kulabo abavela eCupertino?
