Pavel Jelic Ngokungalindelekile, isithombe sashintshela ku-Tim Cook, owayefuna ukusazisa ngesinyathelo esikhulu nesiwumlando. Lokho abalandeli abaningi be-apula abebekulindile sekufikile. Ekugcineni i-Apple isishintshela kuma-chips ayo e-ARM. Okokuqala, konke kwaqala nge-iPhone, ikakhulukazi nge-chip ye-A4, futhi kancane kancane safika ku-chip ye-A13 - kuzo zonke izimo kwakukhona ukuthuthukiswa, izikhathi eziningana. I-iPad nayo ithole ama-chips ayo ngendlela efanayo. Manje i-iPad inokusebenza kwezithombe okungcono okungafika ku-1000x uma kuqhathaniswa ne-iPad yokuqala. Kamuva, ngisho ne-Apple Watch yathola i-chip yayo. Ngaleso sikhathi, i-Apple yakwazi ukukhiqiza ama-chips ayo afinyelela ku-2 billion, okuyinombolo ehlonipheke ngempela.
Kungaba njalo okuthakaselayo
U-Vratislav Holub Kungashiwo ukuthi ama-Mac nama-MacBooks ahlala ewukuphela kwamadivayisi angenawo ama-processor awo. Njengengxenye yamakhompyutha aphathwayo, abasebenzisi babe nethuba lokusebenzisa ama-Power PC processors okokuqala ngqa. Kodwa-ke, lawa maphrosesa ashintshwa ngo-2005 ngamaphrosesa avela ku-Intel, asetshenziswa kuze kube manje. I-Apple ayishongo ngokuqondile, kodwa mhlawumbe yanele ngokwanele kuzo zonke izinkinga kanye nokuzabalaza ngamaphrosesa avela ku-Intel - yingakho futhi inqume ukushintshela kuma-ARM processors ayo, ayibiza nge-Apple Silicon. I-Apple ikhombisa ukuthi lonke uguquko kumaphrosesa ayo luzothatha iminyaka emibili, amadivaysi okuqala analawa ma-processor kufanele avele ekupheleni kwalo nyaka. Ake sibheke ndawonye izixazululo ezizokwenza ukushintshela kuma-ARM processors kube mnandi kubo bobabili abathuthukisi nabasebenzisi.
I-macOS 11 Big Sur:
Igalari yezithombe
Vele, kusobala ukuthi i-Apple ayikwazi ukuqeda ngokuphelele ukusekelwa kwamadivayisi ayo aqhubeka nokusebenzisa ama-Intel chips phakathi neminyaka emibili. Eminyakeni engu-15 eyedlule, lapho isuka ku-PowerPC iye ku-Intel, i-Apple yethula isofthiwe ekhethekile ebizwa ngokuthi i-Rosetta, ngosizo olwalukwazi ukuqhuba izinhlelo ezivela ku-Power PC ngisho nakuma-processor avela ku-Intel - ngaphandle kwesidingo sohlelo oluyinkimbinkimbi. Ngendlela efanayo, izinhlelo zokusebenza ezivela ku-Intel zizophinde zitholakale kumaphrosesa e-ARM e-Apple, ngosizo lwe-Rosetta 2. Nokho, izinhlelo zokusebenza eziningi kubikwa ukuthi zizosebenza ngaphandle kokusebenzisa i-Rosetta 2 - le software yokulingisa kuyodingeka isetshenziselwe lezo zinhlelo zokusebenza kuphela. ngeke isebenze ngokushesha. Ngenxa yamaphrosesa e-ARM, manje sekuzokwazi ukusebenzisa i-virtualization - ngaphakathi kwe-macOS, uzokwazi ukufaka, isibonelo, i-Linux nezinye izinhlelo zokusebenza ngaphandle kwenkinga encane.
Ukuze i-Apple ikwazi ukusiza abathuthukisi ngokuguqukela kumaphrosesa abo e-ARM, izohlinzeka ngekhithi Yokuguqulela Kanjiniyela entsha ekhethekile - lena ikakhulukazi i-Mac mini ezosebenza ku-A12X processor, ongase uyazi ku-iPad Pro. Ngaphezu kwalokho, le Mac mini izoba ne-512 GB SSD kanye ne-16 GB ye-RAM. Ngenxa yale Mac mini, abathuthukisi bazokwazi ukuzivumelanisa ngokushesha nendawo entsha nge-Apple Silicon processors yabo. Umbuzo manje usasele ukuthi iyiphi iMac noma iMacBook ezoba ngeyokuqala ukuba ne-Apple Silicon chip yayo.

Ngiphuthelwa imininingwane ecacile yokuthi bangakwazi yini ukufaka i-Virtual Microshit Widle: Uma kungenjalo, i-showstopper ephelele, hhayi kimi kuphela, kodwa nakubantu abaningi abaseduze kwami...
Kwakuwushintsho olusuka ku-PowerPC luye ku-Intel olwangivumela ukuthi ngiqale ukusebenza ku-Mac eminyakeni eminingi edlule, kodwa ngaphandle kwe-Widli akwenzeki :(
Ngakho-ke ngithemba ukuthi ngeke kube esinye isipikili ebhokisini likaMac (njengokwethuka okunamakhibhodi, izimbobo ezingekho, umbhedo obizwa ngokuthi ibha yokuthinta, ...).
Phela, iWindows XP eyenziwe yasebenza ku-PowerPC...
