Enye yempumelelo enkulu i-Apple eye yaba nayo eminyakeni yamuva ngokungangabazeki kube iphrojekthi (esevele iyiqiniso elingaphezu kokuhlanganisiwe) I-Apple Silicon. Ngenkathi unyaka odlule uCraig Federighi esifundisa esendlini yakhe engaphansi e-Apple Park ukuthi i-Apple Silicon yayizoba yini, abaningi bethu babeka izandla emakhanda ethu.
Ukubheja okuyingozi ngandlela-thile: shintsha ikhathalogi yonke yama-Intel-based Macs ukuze uthole amasha anamaphrosesa awo ARM. Futhi babeqinisile impela. Ngonyaka owodwa kamuva, ama-Apple's M series processors ayisilinganiso sokuqhathaniswa kuyo yonke imboni ye-computer processor. Futhi manje iQualcomm ifuna ukuzilwela.
Esikhathini esingangonyaka, i-Apple isihambile ekubeni ngumkhiqizi we-iPhone ephinde yathengisa ama-Mac ayo, yaba yinkampani. Umthumeli embonini yamakhompiyutha ene-Apple Silicon yayo entsha, enamaphrosesa ayo e-ARM, ahlinzeka ngokusebenza okungenakuqhathaniswa nokusebenza kahle.
Ayiphumelelanga kuze kube manje. Uma i-Intel isivele iwabekile amabhethri ekwethuleni uchungechunge lwayo olusha lwamaphrosesa amakhompyutha edeskithophu «I-Alder Lake»Inamandla kakhulu kune-M1 ye-Apple, manje i-Qualcomm ifuna ukwenza okufanayo.
Ezinyangeni ezimbalwa ezedlule i-Qualcomm ithathe ukulawula komkhiqizi wamaprosesa I-Nuvia, futhi manje kuleyo nkampani ifuna ukwethula uchungechunge olusha lwabaphrosesa ukuze baqhudelane ne-M1 yakwa-Apple.
UGerard Williams washiya i-Apple ukuze athole i-Nuvia
Umsunguli weNuvia kanye nephini likamongameli wenkampani, ngu UGerard williams. Usebenze e-Apple iminyaka engu-9. Ngaleso sikhathi, ekugcineni wayenomthwalo wemfanelo wokuklama nokwenza ama-A-series processors enkampani, lawo ashayela ama-iPhones nama-iPads.
Ngakho-ke, ngaleso sikhathi wayenomthwalo wemfanelo wokukhiqiza ama-chips kusukela ku-A7 kuya ku-A12X. Ngo-2019 washiya inkampani yeCupertino futhi kanye nabanye onjiniyela bangaphambili bakwa-Apple bakha inkampani yakhe yokucubungula: iNuvia. Manje, ngomjovo wemali etholwe kuwo Qualcomm, ifuna ukuqala ukukhiqiza isizukulwane esisha samaphrosesa, asezingeni eliphezulu le-M1 ye-Apple. Ingabe bazophumelela?
