David Hanak Izinto ezimbalwa ezinkulu zenzeke izolo ebusuku ezizothinta kakhulu ukuma kwama-iPads nama-iPhones eminyakeni embalwa ezayo. Ngesonto eledlule, obekungacabangeki kube yiqiniso, emikhakheni emibili. U-Apple ukwazile ukuphuma enkantolo neQualcomm, osekuphele izinyanga ezimbalwa iqulwa icala. Ngenxa yalesi sivumelwano, i-Intel yamemezela ukuthi iyahoxa ekuthuthukisweni okwengeziwe kwamamodemu eselula e-5G. Zihlangana kanjani lezi zenzakalo?
Kungaba njalo okuthakaselayo
Uma ubulokhu ulandela okwenzeka ezungeze i-Apple isikhashana, kungenzeka ukuthi uqaphele ukuhlukana okukhulu phakathi kwe-Apple ne-Qualcomm. U-Apple useneminyaka eminingi esebenzisa amamodemu edatha evela ku-Qualcomm, kodwa lo wakamuva wamangalela inkampani ngokwephula izivumelwano ezithile zelungelo lobunikazi, lapho u-Apple ephendula khona namanye amacala, futhi yonke into yabuyela emuva naphambili. Sibhale ngengxabano izikhathi eziningi, isibonelo lapha. Ngenxa yokuwohloka kobudlelwano obuhle neQualcomm, i-Apple kwadingeka ithole omunye umphakeli wama-data chips, futhi kusukela ngonyaka odlule kube yi-Intel.
Kodwa-ke, izinkinga eziningi zihlotshaniswa ne-Intel, njengoba kwavela ukuthi amamodemu abo enethiwekhi awalungile njengalawo avela ku-Qualcomm. Ngakho-ke i-iPhone XS inenkinga yokutholwa kwesignali empofu nezinye izifo ezifanayo abasebenzisi abakhononda ngazo ngokwezinga elikhulu. Kodwa-ke, isimo esizungeze ubuchwepheshe obuzayo be-5G siyinkinga enkulu kakhulu. I-Intel bekufanele ihlinzeke i-Apple ngamamodemu e-5G ama-iPhones nama-iPads, kodwa njengoba sekubonakale ezinyangeni ezimbalwa ezedlule, i-Intel inezinkinga ezinkulu ngentuthuko nokukhiqiza. Umnqamulajuqu wokuqala wokulethwa kwamamodemu e-5G wandiswa, futhi kwaba nosongo lwangempela lokuthi i-Apple ngeke yethule i- "2020G iPhone" ngo-5.
Nokho, lolu daba luxazululwe ngobusuku banamuhla. Ngokwemibiko yangaphandle, kube khona ukuxazululwa kwengxabano ngaphandle kwenkantolo phakathi kwe-Apple ne-Qualcomm (okumangalisa kakhulu uma kubhekwa ukuqina nobukhulu bezimpi zezomthetho). Ngokushesha ngemva kwalokhu, abamele i-Intel bamemezele ukuthi bakhansela ngokushesha ukuthuthukiswa okuqhubekayo kwamamodemu eselula ye-5G futhi bazoqhubeka nokugxila kuphela ku-hardware yekhompiyutha (okuyinto engamangazi kangako, uma kubhekwa ubunzima be-Intel futhi banikezwe ukuthi kwakungu-Apple, obekufanele. ukuze ube ikhasimende eliyinhloko lamamodemu e-5G).
Ukuxazululwa kwesivumelwano phakathi kwe-Apple ne-Qualcomm kuqeda wonke amacala, okuhlanganisa phakathi kosonkontileka abancane be-Apple kanye ne-Qualcomm. Isixazululo sangaphandle kwenkantolo sihlanganisa kokubili isivumelwano sokukhokha amanani engxabano kanye nelayisensi yeminyaka eyisithupha yokusebenzisa ubuchwepheshe be-Qualcomm. Ngakho-ke i-Apple ine-insured data chips yemikhiqizo yayo iminyaka eminingana ezayo, noma okungenani kuze kube yilapho inkampani ikwazi ukuwasebenzisa. isixazululo siqu. Ekugcineni, bonke abathintekayo bangaphuma kuyo yonke ingxabano benombono omuhle. I-Qualcomm izogcina igcine ikhasimende elikhokha kakhulu kanye nomthengi omkhulu wezobuchwepheshe, i-Apple izogcina inamamodemu e-5G atholakala ngesikhathi esithandwayo, futhi i-Intel ingagxila embonini lapho yenza khona kangcono futhi ingachithi isikhathi esibalulekile nezinsiza ezithuthukayo. embonini eyingozi.
Kungaba njalo okuthakaselayo

I-Akfik iqoqwe kusuka ezingxenyeni ezishibhe kakhulu. I-Intel ibiza kakhulu - ifuna uhhafu wedola ngaphezu kwanoma iyiphi enye
