U-Vratislav Holub Umphathi we-Intel ukhulume ngekusasa elingase libe khona phakathi nocingo lwayizolo nabatshalizimali. Ukukhanya okucatshangelwayo kokukhanya kwehle kakhulu ekukhulunyweni kokutshalwa kwezimali kwezigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-20 zamaRandi, okuzongena ekwakhiweni kwezimboni ezimbili ezintsha esifundazweni sase-US sase-Arizona. Abantu baphinde bamangala isitatimende sokuthi i-Intel ihlose ukusungula ukubambisana ne-Apple, engathanda ukuba ngumphakeli wama-chips wabo we-Apple Silicon futhi ibenzele wona ngqo. Okungenani yilokho anethemba ngakho manje.
Kuyathakazelisa ngoba ngesonto eledlule i-Intel isanda kuqala umkhankaso "Iya ku-PC,” lapho ekhomba khona ukushiyeka okuvamile kwe-M1 Macs eyenza i-Windows PC evamile enephrosesa ye-Intel iwafaka ephaketheni ngokudlala. I-Intel yaze yakhipha indawo yokukhangisa lapho umlingisi u-Justin Long, owaziwa ngabalandeli be-apula, edlala indima enkulu - wadlala indima kaMac eminyakeni edlule ochungechungeni lokukhangisa "NgiyiMac,” eyayicishe ifane, ikhomba kuphela ukushiyeka kwamakhompiyutha ukuze kushintshwe. Yebo, lokhu kwaphakamisa imibuzo eminingi. Kodwa kulokhu, u-Long useshintshe ijazi lakhe futhi ubiza umncintiswano wama-apula.

Igalari yezithombe
Namuhla, ngenhlanhla, sithole incazelo elula yawo wonke umcimbi. Iphothali Yahoo! Ezezimali empeleni, wakhulula ingxoxo nomqondisi ngokwakhe, u-Pat Gelsinger, owachaza umkhankaso wabo wokulwa ne-Mac njengomthamo onempilo wamahlaya okuncintisana. Eminyakeni embalwa edlule, amakhompyutha ngokuvamile abone izinto ezintsha ezimangalisayo nezingakaze zibonwe, ngenxa yalokho isidingo se-PC yakudala sisezingeni eliphezulu kakhulu eminyakeni eyi-15 edlule. Futhi yingakho nje umhlaba kuthiwa udinga imikhankaso enjalo. Kepha i-Intel ihlela kanjani ukubuyisela i-Apple ohlangothini lwayo? Kulokhu, uGelsinger uphikisa kalula. Kuze kube manje, yi-TSMC kuphela enesibopho sokukhiqiza ama-apula chips, okuwumhlinzeki obalulekile ngokuphelele. Uma i-Apple ibheja i-Intel futhi iphathisa okunye ukukhiqizwa kwayo kuyo, ingaletha ukuhlukahluka okusha ochungechungeni lwayo lokunikezela futhi izibeke endaweni eqinile. Uqhube wathi i-Intel iyakwazi ukuletha ubuchwepheshe obumangalisayo okungekho omunye umuntu ongabuphatha emhlabeni.
Yonke le nto ibonakala ihlekisa futhi kuzojabulisa ngempela ukubona ukuthi isimo siqhubeka kanjani nokuthuthuka. Ukuthola uzakwethu omusha ngokungangabazeki kungaba yinzuzo ku-Apple, kodwa kufanele sikhumbule ukuthi lokhu kuseyi-Intel. Esikhathini esidlule, inkampani ye-Cupertino ibhekane nezinkinga eziningi, lapho, isibonelo, i-Intel ingakwazi ukuletha amaprosesa amakhompyutha we-Apple. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, ukuzethemba komsebenzisi kulo mkhiqizi weprosesa kuncipha. Imithombo eminingi ithi ikhwalithi yenkampani yehle kakhulu, engabonakala nasekudumeni okukhulayo kwesimbangi i-AMD. Akumelwe futhi nakanjani singakhohlwa ukusho ukuthi, isibonelo, i-Samsung ivame ukuqhathanisa amafoni ayo ne-iPhone futhi ngaleyo ndlela iwabeke endaweni eqinile, kodwa izinkampani zisasebenza ndawonye.
Kungaba njalo okuthakaselayo

Impela ifuna ukuba nohlobo oluthile lwesipele uma kwenzeka i-TSMC inohlobo oluthile lokucisha, njengokuthi iChina ingena lapho, noma yenze uhlobo oluthile lokuvimba, noma ngabe kungokwesikhashana.
