I-Apple ilungiselela ushintsho olukhulu lwama-Mac. Inkampani yaqasha uchwepheshe kuma-ARM processors

I-Apple inezinhlelo ezinkulu zama-ARM processors. Ngendlela anamandla ngayo ama-chips akwazi ukukhiqizwa, sekube nenkulumo isikhathi esingaphezu konyaka ukuthi kuyindaba yesikhathi ngaphambi kokuthi ama-chip e-ARM adlulele ngale kwenkundla ye-iPad ne-iPhone. Ukufika kwama-chips e-ARM kwamanye ama-Mac kuphakamisa izinto ezimbalwa. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, sinokusebenza okwandayo okuqhubekayo kwama-chips e-ARM eselula, bese kuba nephrojekthi ye-Catalyst, evumela abathuthukisi ukuthi bathumele izinhlelo zokusebenza ze-iOS (ARM) ku-macOS (x86). Okokugcina, kukhona ukuqashwa kwabasebenzi abakulungele kakhulu lolu shintsho.

Eyokugcina yohlobo lwayo inhloko yangaphambili yokuthuthukiswa kwe-CPU kanye nezakhiwo zesistimu kwa-ARM, uMike Filippo. Uqashwe yi-Apple kusukela ngoMeyi futhi unikeza inkampani ubuchwepheshe bezinga lokuqala ekuthuthukisweni nasekusetshenzisweni kwama-chips e-ARM. UFilippo wasebenza e-AMD kusukela ngo-1996 kuya ku-2004, lapho ayengumklami wokucubungula. Wabe esethuthela ku-Intel iminyaka emihlanu njengomdwebi wezinhlelo. Kusukela ngo-2009 kuze kube kulo nyaka, usebenze njengenhloko yezokuthuthukiswa kwa-ARM, lapho ayebambe khona ukuthuthukiswa kwama-chips afana ne-Cortex-A76, i-A72, i-A57 kanye nama-chips azayo angu-7 no-5nm. Ngakho-ke unokuhlangenwe nakho okucebile, futhi uma i-Apple ihlela ukwandisa ukuthunyelwa kwama-ARM processors kwinani elikhulu lemikhiqizo, cishe bebengeke bamthole umuntu ongcono.

Uma i-Apple empeleni ikwazile ukuthuthukisa iphrosesa ye-ARM enamandla ngokwanele ngokwezidingo ze-macOS (futhi iguqule uhlelo lokusebenza lwe-macOS ngokwanele ukuthi lusetshenziswe nama-ARM processors), izokhulula i-Apple ekubambisaneni kwayo ne-Intel, obekungakhululeki eminyakeni yamuva nje. Eminyakeni embalwa edlule nezizukulwane zamaphrosesa ayo, i-Intel ibilokhu inezinyawo eziyisicaba, ibe nezinkinga ngokuqala kwenqubo entsha yokukhiqiza, futhi i-Apple kwesinye isikhathi iye yaphoqeleka ukuthi ilungise kakhulu izinhlelo zayo zokwethula ihadiwe ukuze ihambisane nekhono le-Intel. ukwethula ama-chips amasha. O izindaba zokuphepha (kanye nomthelela olandelayo ekusebenzeni) namaphrosesa avela ku-Intel ingasaphathwa.

Ngokusho kwemithombo esemuva kwesigcawu, i-ARM kufanele yethule idrayivu yokuqala ye-Mac ngonyaka ozayo. Kuze kube yileso sikhathi, kunesikhathi esiningi sokulungisa amaphutha ezingxenyekazi zekhompuyutha nokuhambisana kwesofthiwe, ukumisa ihange nokwandisa iphrojekthi ye-Catalyst (okungukuthi, ukufaka izicelo zomdabu ze-x86 ku-ARM), futhi uqinisekise abathuthukisi ukuthi basekele inguquko ngendlela efanele.
