Ngo-Ephreli odlule, abafana baseCupertino bamemezela ngokusemthethweni izinhlelo zokuyeka ukusebenzisa iprosesa lemifanekiso yenkampani ye-Imagination Technologies eminyakeni emibili ezayo ukuqala ukusebenzisa iprosesa yabo yemidwebo ye-iPhone ne-iPad. Lesi sikhangiso siwele njengengilazi yamanzi abandayo enkampanini, njengoba iningi lemali engenayo evela ku-Apple. Ngokushesha inani lesabelo senkampani lehle ngama-70%, okuthe ngemuva kwezinyanga abangakalulami base benquma ukuyidayisela inkampani.
Njengoba kushiwo yinkampani, I-Apple izoba nesikhathi esinzima kakhulu ukudala ama-chip chips ayo ngaphandle kokusebenzisa amalungelo obunikazi amaningi ukuthi le nkampani ibhalisile, ngakho-ke kungenzeka ukuthi uma inkampani ifake uphawu lokuthengisa, i-Apple ingahle ibe ngemuva kokuyithenga okungenzeka, futhi ngale ndlela izokonga isikhathi esiningi nemali lapho kudizayinwa futhi kwenziwa imidwebo yayo amaprosesa.
Njengoba singafunda kuReuters, oshicilele izindaba:
I-Imagination Technologies iyakuqinisekisa ukuthi emasontweni adlule ithole izipesheli zokuthenga, isithembiso esigcine siphoqa inkampani ukuthi ithengise, kufaka phakathi zonke izinkampani eziyingxenye yeqembu. Inkampani isiqalile inqubo yokuthengisa futhi isiqala ukuxoxa ngemigomo yokuthengisa nabathengi abangaba khona.
Ngokusobala, abathengi abangaba khona abanandaba nokuthi inkampani nokukhiqizwa kwayo, kodwa kunalokho intshisekelo yakho isuselwa kuwo wonke amalungelo obunikazi lelo elinamalungelo obunikazi egameni lalo elizocishe lisetshenziswe yi-Apple, ngaphezu kwabanye abakhiqizi. Kuze kube namuhla asikwazi ukuqinisekisa ukuthi i-Apple ingemuva kwalezi zinkampani kodwa ngeke kusimangaze. Isikhathi sizoqinisekisa izinhloso zika-Apple ngale nkampani, ngoba ine-10% yamasheya.
Uma i-Apple ifuna ukwenza ama-GPU ayo, kufanele ithenge ubuchwepheshe bokucabanga, ibafanela kakhulu.
