U-Vratislav Holub Kule kholamu evamile, nsuku zonke sibheka izindaba ezithakazelisayo kakhulu eziphathelene nenkampani yaseCalifornia i-Apple. Lapha sigxila kuphela ezenzakalweni eziyinhloko kanye nokuqagela okukhethiwe (okuthakazelisayo). Ngakho-ke uma unentshisekelo ezenzakalweni zamanje futhi ufuna ukwaziswa ngezwe lama-apula, nakanjani chitha imizuzu embalwa ezigabeni ezilandelayo.
Kungaba njalo okuthakaselayo
Pavel Jelic Siyabazi abawine imiklomelo ehlonishwayo ye-Apple Design
Njalo ngonyaka, ngemuva nje kokuphela kwengqungquthela yonjiniyela i-WWDC, kumenyezelwa abawine Imiklomelo Ehlonishwayo Ye-Apple Design. Lapha singabona abadali abahamba phambili abasebenza ezinhlelweni ezihlukene. Lo mncintiswano uhlola ukuklama, ukusungula izinto ezintsha, ubuhlakani obuphelele kanye nokuthuthuka kwezobuchwepheshe. Namuhla sibone kumenyezelwa abawinile abayisishiyagalombili okuthi, ngokusho kukaRon Okamoto, oyisekela likamongameli we-Apple, bangakhuthazi nje kuphela abathuthukisi emphakathini wakwa-Apple, kodwa inkampani yonke iyonke.
Pho kwawina bani? Umklomelo ovelele uwinwe yiBergen Co. ngohlelo lokusebenza oludumile lokuhlela isithombe nevidiyo Igumbi elimnyama, iorama.studio enohlelo lokudala izithombe ezinyakazayo Lutho, abathuthukisi bezicelo ze-CAD I-Shapr3D, isicelo sokubhala umculo weshidi I-StaffPad, studio Simogo kanye Annapurna Interactive nomdlalo Izinhliziyo zasendle ze-Sayonara, lesositudiyo senkampani yomdlalo esinomdlalo Isibhakabhaka: Bantwana Bokukhanya, umdidiyeli wezinhlelo u-Philipp Stollenmayer onomdlalo Ingoma yokuqhakaza kanye nesitudiyo se-Game Band ne-Snowman esinomdlalo Lapho Amakhadi Awa khona. Ngokusho komdondoshiya waseCalifornia, bangaphezulu kuka-20 onjiniyela abaklonyeliswe eminyakeni engama-250 edlule.
I-Apple Silicon ekugcineni isezandleni zabathuthukisi
Ngesonto eledlule sibone ukukhishwa kwezindaba okukhulu. U-Apple usitshele ngesikhathi se-WWDC 2020 evula inothi eyisihluthulelo ukuthi izoshintshela kuma-chip ayo azonika amandla amakhompyutha we-Apple. Ngalesi sinyathelo, i-Apple izozimela ngokuphelele ku-Intel, okuze kube manje iyinikeze ngamaphrosesa. Kodwa njengoba kukhona ushintsho oluphelele ekwakhiweni kwezakhiwo, ngisho nabathuthukisi ngokwabo kufanele bazivumelanise nakho futhi bahlele kabusha izinhlelo zabo zokusebenza. Ngalesi sizathu, i-Apple yanquma ukusungula lokho okubizwa nge-Developer Transition Kit (DTK), empeleni okuyi-Mac mini efakwe i-chip ye-A12Z, esiyazi nge-iPad Pro yakamuva, kanye ne-16GB yememori yokusebenza.
Yebo, imali ebolekiwe ayimahhala. Umthuthukisi kufanele akhokhe amadola angama-500 (cishe imiqhele eyizinkulungwane eziyi-12) ngale nketho, ngenxa yalokho athola ukwesekwa okuqhubekayo okuvela kumdondoshiya waseCalifornia. Ku-Twitter, siyabona ukuthi abanye abantu abanenhlanhla sebeyitholile kakade i-DTK futhi bangagxumela ekuthuthukisweni. Ungabheka ama-tweets lapha, lapha, lapha a lapha. Yiqiniso, kusobala ukuthi singakhohlwa nganoma yiluphi ulwazi oluningiliziwe mayelana ne-chip kusuka kubathuthukisi. Imali mboleko iphinde yahlanganisa nesivumelwano sobumfihlo.
Siyazi ukusebenza kwe-chip ye-A12Z ku-Mac mini
Sishilo ngenhla ukuthi ngeke sithole ulwazi oluningiliziwe mayelana nekhithi yokuguqula kanjiniyela. Noma abathuthukisi bavumelene nesivumelwano esinzima sokungadaluli esibanqabela ngokuphelele ekulinganiseni, ngokusobala abakwazanga futhi yileyo ndlela esiba ngayo nedatha yokuqala. Cishe kuwebhusayithi ethandwa kakhulu kulo mkhakha, okungangabazeki ukuthi i-Geekbench, kuvela izivivinyo zokuqala ezibhekisela kwi-Mac mini ene-chip ye-A12Z. Pho wenze kanjani?
Ngokusho kwesithombe esinamathiselwe ngenhla, kuyacaca ukuthi ukusebenza kubuhlungu ngokoqobo. Isibonelo, singacaphuna i-iPad Pro, enikwa amandla yi-chip efanayo. Kubhentshimakhi, ithole amaphuzu ayi-1 esivivinyweni se-single-core kanye namaphuzu angama-118 esivivinyweni se-all-core. Ngakho kungani i-DTK ifinyelela imiphumela embi kangaka? Kudingekile ukuqaphela ukuthi ukuze usebenzise uhlelo lokuhlola ngokwalo, kwakudingeka luhlanganiswe kusetshenziswa isofthiwe ye-Rosetta 4, okuyiyona edla ingxenye enkulu yokusebenza. Ukwengeza, uma sibheka ngakwesobunxele, sibona kukhulunywa ngama-cores amane kuphela. Kukhona okungahambi kahle lapha. I-chip ye-A625Z inama-cores ayisishiyagalombili - amane anamandla futhi amane ayongayo. Mayelana nalokhu, kungaphethwa ngokuthi i-Rosetta 2 yasebenzisa ama-cores anamandla kuphela futhi yashiya ezongayo eceleni. Omunye umehluko uma kuqhathaniswa ne-chip evela ku-iPad Pro utholakala kufrikhwensi yewashi. I-A12Z evela kuthebhulethi ye-Apple isebenza ku-2 GHz, kuyilapho endabeni ye-Mac mini ingaphansi kwewashi ukuze ibe ngu-12 GHz.
Idatha eshicilelwe kuze kube manje ngokungangabazeki ibuthakathaka futhi ingabangela ukwesaba kanye nemibuzo eminingi kubalimi abaningi be-apula. Ingabe i-Apple ibheke endleleni efanele? Ingabe ama-chips ayo angafinyelela ekusebenzeni kwe-Intel? Sithanda ukubeka umqondo wakho ukhululeke lapha. Kumelwe kucatshangelwe izici ezimbalwa ezibalulekile. Lezi kuseyizingcezu zokuhlola kuphela zonjiniyela abangathutha ngazo izinhlelo zabo zokusebenza. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi kuyithuluzi lonjiniyela kuphela, lapho amandla aphelele engasetshenziswanga, okungahlosiwe. Kusesekuseni kakhulu ukubikezela ukuthi ama-Macs okuqala athengiswa ngama-Apple Silicon processors azohamba kanjani. Kodwa nakanjani kukhona okumele sikubheke ngabomvu.
Hhayi-ke, leyo mini ye-ARM Mac esebenzisa inguqulo ye-Geekbench ehunyushwe ngokuguquguqukayo (x86) isashesha kune-Surface Pro X esebenzisa i-ARM Geekbench yomdabu. Ngakho-ke, ukwehla kokusebenza kukhona, kodwa kusengaphambi komncintiswano. Futhi lena iprosesa eneminyaka emibili ubudala. Lawo ma-Apple Silicon Mac processors, lokho kuzoba indaba ehluke ngokuphelele.
Sengivele ngibheke ngabomvu ukuthi i-Apple izokhipha i-ARM ngokugcwele yomkhiqizo wokuqala nge-Apple Silicone :-) .. Ngithemba ukuthi kuzoba ubuncane be-MacBook Pro 13 noma 14
