I-TSMC ikwazile ukusebenzisa ithuba eliyinikezwe yinkampani yeCupertino kahle impela. Iyeke ukusebenzisa i-Samsung njengomhlinzeki eminyakeni embalwa edlule, I-iPhone 6s isivele iveze amandla wokusebenzisa ama-processor avela kwa-Samsung naku TSMC. Manje umsebenzi wenkampani yaseNyakatho Melika uyavuzwa.
I-TSMC inakho konke okulungele ukuklama nokukhiqiza ama-processor we-5nm alandelayo amadivayisi we-Apple njenge-iPhone ne-iPad, okuzofaka intuthuko efanele ngokuya ngokuzimela nejubane lokucubungula. Inkampani yaseCupertino ibonakala ibheke esihogweni ukuqhubeka nokuletha ukusebenza okuhle kakhulu kwe-iPhone eminyakeni eminingi ezayo.
Njengoba sishilo, ngokusho kwe- I-AppleInsiders, I-TSMC isivele isebenza ukucubungula indlela yayo yokukhiqiza ukuze ifake ama-processor we-5nm. Ngokusobala, ukukhiqiza la maprosesa kunengozi ephezulu yokukhiqiza, yingakho manje sekuyisikhathi sokubona ukuthi bakwenza kanjani kube nenzuzo kubo bobabili ikhasimende lokugcina kanye nabo ngokwabo. Siyazi ukuthi i-Apple neTSMC banobudlelwano obusondelene kakhulu, ngakho-ke kungenzeka ukuthi inkampani yaseCuperitno izogcina itshale imali ezikhungweni zeTSMC ukuze izuze ekugcineni ngokwenza la maprosesa, njengoba yenzile ngezikhathi ezikhethekile. UFoxconn.
Lawa ma-processor we-5nm azothuthukisa aze afike ku-15% ijubane lama-processor we-7nm, i-SRAM engcono kanye nezinzuzo zokuba lula kokusebenzisa i-EUV lithography. I-miniaturization izosiza namatheminali ukufaka izinto ezahlukahlukene kubhodi yabo yomama enikezelwe kweminye imisebenzi ngaphandle kokucutshungulwa kwedatha, njengokubeka amabhethri amakhulu ayisizayo ukuthi ithole ukuzimela okukhulu. Kuhle ukuzwa izindaba ngobudlelwano obuseduze buka-Apple neTSMC.
