U-Vratislav Holub Ngenkathi i-Apple yethula iphrojekthi ye-Apple Silicon ngoJuni odlule, okungukuthi ukuthuthukiswa kwama-chips ayo amakhompyutha we-Apple, yakwazi ukunakwa kakhulu ngokushesha. Yabe isiphindaphindeka kabili ngemuva kokukhishwa kwama-Macs okuqala, athola i-chip ye-M1, eyedlula kakhulu ama-Intel processors angaleso sikhathi ngokusebenza nokusetshenziswa kwamandla. Ngakho-ke akumangalisi ukuthi amanye ama-tech giants athanda isimo esifanayo. Ngokusho kolwazi lwakamuva oluvela I-Nikkei Asia I-Google nayo ilungiselela ukuthatha isinyathelo esifanayo.
I-Google isiqalile ukwenza ama-chips ayo e-ARM
Ama-chips e-Apple Silicon asekelwe ekwakhiweni kwe-ARM, enikeza ukusebenza okumbalwa okuthakazelisayo. Lokhu ngokuyinhloko ukusebenza okuphezulu osekushiwo kanye nokusetshenziswa kwamandla okuphansi. Kufanele kube okufanayo nge-Google. Njengamanje uthuthukisa ama-chips akhe, azosetshenziswa kuma-Chromebook. Kunoma ikuphi, into ethokozisayo ukuthi ngenyanga edlule lesi sikhondlakhondla sethule ama-smartphones akamuva e-Pixel 6, emathunjini aphinde ashaya i-chip ye-Tensor ARM evela endaweni yokusebenzela yale nkampani.
Ngokusho kolwazi olutholakala kuze kube manje kusukela kumthombo oshiwo, i-Google ihlela ukwethula ama-chips okuqala kuma-Chromebook ayo esikhathini esithile cishe ngo-2023. Lawa ma-Chromebook ahlanganisa ama-laptops namathebulethi asebenzisa isistimu yokusebenza ye-Chrome OS futhi ungawathenga kubakhiqizi abafana ne-Google, I-Samsung, i-Lenovo, i-Dell, i-HP, i-Acer ne-ASUS. Kusobala ukuthi i-Google igqugquzelwe yinkampani yakwa-Apple kulokhu futhi ingathanda ukuzuza okungenani imiphumela eyimpumelelo efanayo.
Kungaba njalo okuthakaselayo
Ukundiza emhlabeni wonke nge-Apple Ngaso leso sikhathi, umbuzo uphakama ukuthi ingabe ama-Chromebook azokwazi ukusebenzisa amathuba ama-ARM chips azowanikeza wona. Lawa madivaysi alinganiselwe kakhulu uhlelo lwawo lokusebenza, okuyinto edikibalisa abantu abaningi ekuwathengeni. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, ukuya phambili akukaze kube yinto embi. Okungenani, amadivayisi angasebenza ngokuzinza kakhulu futhi, ngaphezu kwalokho, angaphinde aziqhenye ngempilo yebhethri ende, iqembu lawo eliqondiwe - okungukuthi abasebenzisi abangadingi mthetho - elingakujabulela.
Sinjani isimo nge-Apple Silicon?
Isimo samanje siphinde siphakamise umbuzo wokuthi isimo sinjani ngama-Apple Silicon chips. Cishe sekuphele unyaka kwethulwa izinhlobo ezintathu zokuqala ezifakwe i-chip ye-M1. Okungukuthi, lezi iMac mini, iMacBook Air kanye ne-13″ MacBook Pro. Kulo Ephreli, i-iMac engu-24 ″ nayo ibe noshintsho olufanayo. Iqhamuke ngemibala emisha, ngomzimba othambile futhi ozacile futhi isebenza ngokuphezulu kakhulu. Kodwa sizofika nini isizukulwane esilandelayo se-Apple Silicon?
Khumbula ukwethulwa kwe-chip ye-M1 (WWDC20):
Igalari yezithombe
Sekuyisikhathi eside kunezinkulumo mayelana nokufika kwe-MacBook Pro ebuyekeziwe engu-14″ kanye ne-16″, okufanele ibe ne-Apple chip enamandla kakhulu. Kungalesi sikhathi lapho i-Apple idinga ukukhombisa ukuthi i-Apple Silicon ikwazi ukwenzani. Kuze kube manje, sikubonile ukuhlanganiswa kwe-M1 kulokho okubizwa ngokuthi yi-entry/basic Mac, ehloselwe abasebenzisi abajwayelekile abasebenzisa i-inthanethi futhi benze umsebenzi wasehhovisi. Kepha i-16″ MacBook iyithuluzi esesigabeni esihluke ngokuphelele, esihloselwe ochwepheshe. Phela, lokhu kuboniswa nokuba khona kwekhadi lezithombe elizinikele (kumamodeli atholakalayo njengamanje) nokusebenza okuphezulu kakhulu uma kuqhathaniswa, isibonelo, i-13″ MacBook Pro (2020) ene-Intel.
Kungaba njalo okuthakaselayo
Ngakho-ke kusobala ukuthi ezinyangeni ezizayo sizobona ukwethulwa okungenani kwalawa malaptop amabili akwa-Apple, okufanele akhuphule ukusebenza kwawo ezingeni elisha. Inkulumo evame kakhulu imayelana ne-chip ene-CPU engu-10-core, enama-cores angu-8 anamandla futhi ama-2 ayonga, kanye ne-GPU engu-16 noma engu-32. Sekuvele kwethulwa i-Apple Silicon, umdondoshiya weCupertino uthe ukuguquka okuphelele ukusuka ku-Intel kuya kwesaso isisombululo kufanele kuthathe iminyaka emibili. I-Mac Pro yochwepheshe ene-chip ye-Apple kulindeleke ukuthi ivale lolo shintsho, into abalandeli bezobuchwepheshe abayilindele ngabomvu.
Ngokulandela i-M1, i-Apple kuzofanele ikhombise uguquko olufanayo njengoba i-M1 uqobo yayinjalo nokuthi bekuwuguquko. Amakhompyutha aphathekayo anokusebenza kwamakhadi ezithombe endaweni ethile eduze ne-GTX1050, lokho kuhle ngempilo yebhethri enjalo.
