Ngokuqinisekile i-Apple ishaye isipikili ekhanda ngokukhetha TSMC njengomenzi wamaprosesa ayo. Ubungcweti bayo obuphezulu bunikeza ama-chip amasha aqhubeka esebenza kahle, ngobuchwepheshe obuthuthuke kakhulu.
Isivele ikhiqiza ifayili le- A15 ye-iPhone 13 enokwakhiwa okungu-5 nm, kepha ama-chips alandelayo amadivayisi we-Apple asevele engu-4 nm, kanti ama-3 nm asevele esesigabeni sokuhlola. Owokugcina.
Umbiko osanda kuwushicilela Nikkei, kuqinisekisa ukuthi i-TSMC ne-Intel bakulungele ukwenza amaprosesa ngobuchwepheshe be- I-3 nm. Lokhu kusho ukuthi azoba ama-chip asebenza kangcono kakhulu kunalawa amanje, ama-5 nm.
Isihloko esishiwoyo sichaza ukuthi i-chip yokuqala ye-3nm ye-Apple kungenzeka ifike nge-iPad (mhlawumbe imodeli yePro). I- iPhone 14 izosebenzisa i-4nm SoC enkudlwana ngenxa yokuhlelwa kwamazinga wokuhamba / izikhathi zokuhola. Lokhu kusazobangcono kunokwakhiwa kwe-chip ye-5nm ebonwe ku-iPhone 12 futhi okuzoqhubeka nokukhuphuka ku-iPhone 13 kulo nyaka.
Ama-nanometer (nm) adumile yi ibanga phakathi kwama-transistors ku-chip. Lapho usayizi wenqubo uncipha, izikhala eziphakathi kwabashintshi ziyancipha. Lokhu ngokuvamile kuholela ekwakhiweni kwamandla okusebenza ngamandla nangaphezulu.
Ngama-iPhones azokwethula kulo nyaka, azofaka i-Apple A15 chip eyakhiwe ngosayizi we- I-5 nm asevele esesigabeni sokukhiqiza ngobuningi, ukuze akwazi ukuwethula ngoSepthemba walo nyaka.
Eminyakeni emibili kusukela manje, i-Apple izokwamukela ama-processor kusuka ku- I-3 nm yawo wonke amadivayisi akho, ahlanganisa ama-iPhones, ama-iPads, nama-Mac. Into enengqondo ongayenza ukuqala nge-iPad Pro kuqala, ngokubuka kokuhleleka. Kuzoba inguqulo entsha ye-Apple M1 yamanje. Kwazi bani ukuthi i-M2, noma i-M3 entsha ...
