U-Vratislav Holub Umphakeli oyinhloko wama-chips we-Apple yinkampani yaseTaiwan i-TSMC. Nguye onakekela ukukhiqizwa, ngokwesibonelo, i-chip ye-M1 noma i-A14, noma i-A15 ezayo. Ngokusho kolwazi lwakamuva oluvela ku-portal I-Nikkei Asia inkampani manje ilungiselela ukukhiqiza ngenqubo yokukhiqiza engu-2nm, eyibeka phambili ngamamayela ngaphambi komncintiswano. Ngenxa yalokhu, imboni entsha kufanele yakhiwe nasedolobheni laseTaiwan i-Hsinchu, lapho ukwakhiwa kuzoqala ngo-2022 futhi kukhiqizwe ngemva konyaka.
I-iPhone 13 Pro izohlinzeka nge-chip ye-A15 Bionic:
Igalari yezithombe
Kepha okwamanje, akucaci ukuthi ama-chips afanayo anenqubo yokukhiqiza engu-2nm angavela nini emikhiqizweni ye-Apple. Kuze kube manje, awukho umthombo ohlonishwayo oshilo ukuthi umdondoshiya waseCupertino ubelungiselela inguquko efanayo. Kodwa-ke, njengoba i-TSMC ingumphakeli oyinhloko, lena inketho engase ibonakale kumadivayisi ngokwawo phakathi neminyaka embalwa. Uma i-Apple ibizoqhubeka nokuqamba kwamanje, khona-ke ama-chips okuqala anenqubo yokukhiqiza engu-2nm angaba yi-A18 (ye-iPhone ne-iPad) kanye ne-M5 (ye-Macs).
Ngemuva kokushicilelwa kwalo mbiko, abasebenzisi be-Apple baqale ukuklolodela i-Intel, engeke ifane namakhono e-TSMC. Ngasekuqaleni kwaleli sonto, i-Intel yaze yamemezela nezinhlelo zokwenza ama-chips e-Qualcomm. Ama-Apple chips A14 ne-M1 akamuva, akhishwe ngonyaka odlule ku-iPad Air ne-Mac mini, MacBook Air kanye ne-13″ MacBook Pro, asekelwe kunqubo yokukhiqiza engu-5nm futhi asevele enikeza ukusebenza okumangalisayo. I-Apple kubikwa ukuthi isivele iyalele ukukhiqizwa kwe-4nm Apple Silicon chips evela ku-TSMC, engaqala ukukhiqizwa kulo nyaka. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, kukhulunywa ngama-chips anenqubo yokukhiqiza ye-3nm ka-2022. Ukuthi u-Intel oncintisana naye uzosabela kanjani kule mibiko, yiqiniso, akucaci okwamanje. Kunoma yikuphi, kusahlekisa ukuthi inkampani isaqhuba umkhankaso gopc, lapho eqhathanisa khona iMac nePC. Ngakho-ke ikhomba ngokukhethekile izinzuzo ongazitholi ngamakhompyutha we-apula. Kodwa ake sithele iwayini elihlanzekile. Ingabe siyazidinga ngempela?
Kungaba njalo okuthakaselayo
I-Intel isiphumile ngokuphelele. Futhi uGelsinger (ngiyaxolisa uma ngipela kahle), bengilindele ukuthi ikakhulukazi alungise isiko laleyo nkampani kancane ukuze kungabi nje ukubhuqa nokunye. Kodwa akwenzekanga. Ngokuphambene nalokho. I-Intel yaqala ukudlala ngokuthi ayihlobene nhlobo nama-nanometers futhi esikhathini esizayo yaqamba ngamabomu izinqubo zayo zokukhiqiza ukuze zivumelane nokumaketha kwazo. Lokho kukodwa akumelani nanoma yini. I-Apple iyakwenza futhi, ngokwesibonelo ngezindawo zezimali, futhi ngokuqinisekile kuzoba khona amanye amakhohlisi. Kodwa lokhu kufana ne-T-Mobile ne-O2, lapho besho ngamabomu ngamanethiwekhi abo ukuthi bayi-HD, isizukulwane se-4, isizukulwane se-6 nokunye okunjalo. Ukumaketha nje futhi kulula ukudida abantu. Futhi angikuthandi lokho. Angikaze ngibe ne-Intel. Bengihlala ngisebenzisa ama-AMD processors futhi ikakhulukazi imidwebo. Angikho ngemuva kokusebenza okukhulu kakhulu, ngifuna ikhwalithi efanelekile, ukusebenza okunengqondo, intengo efanelekile. Futhi yilokho i-AMD ebihlale ikunikeza. Kungcono nakakhulu manje, kodwa ngokuqinisekile imiklomelo isivele kwenye indawo :) Kunoma yikuphi, kuyoba kuhle uma i-Intel izama ukuze abanye bangacabangi ukuthi sebevele banqobile. Kodwa akanazo okwamanje.
