I-Apple Silicon izothuthela kuphi eminyakeni ezayo. Unyaka ozayo ungase ulethe ushintsho olukhulu

Ekuqaleni kukaMashi, i-Apple yaqeda ngomusa isizukulwane sokuqala sama-chips e-Apple Silicon. Njengowokugcina ochungechungeni lwe-M1, kwethulwa i-chipset ye-M1 Ultra, okwamanje etholakala kukhompyutha ye-Mac Studio. Ngenxa yoguquko olusuka ku-Intel processors luye kwisixazululo salo, umdondoshiya we-Cupertino ukwazile ukukhulisa ukusebenza kahle kakhulu ngesikhathi esifushane, ngenkathi kugcinwa ukusetshenziswa kwamandla okuphansi. Kepha asikayiboni iMac Pro endaweni yayo yesikhulumi, ngokwesibonelo. I-Apple Silicon izothuthela kuphi eminyakeni ezayo? Ngokombono, ushintsho oluyisisekelo lungase lufike ngonyaka ozayo.

Ukuqagela kuvame ukuzungeza ukufika kwenqubo yokukhiqiza engcono. Ukukhiqizwa kwama-chips we-Apple Silicon wamanje kuphathwa uzakwethu wesikhathi eside we-Apple, umdondoshiya waseTaiwan i-TSMC, okwamanje ethathwa njengomholi emkhakheni wokukhiqiza ama-semiconductor futhi inobuchwepheshe obuphambili kuphela. Isizukulwane samanje se-M1 chips sisekelwe kunqubo yokukhiqiza engu-5nm. Kodwa ushintsho olubalulekile kufanele lufike maduze. Ukusetshenziswa kwenqubo yokukhiqiza engu-5nm ethuthukisiwe kuvame ukukhulunywa ngakho kakhulu ngo-2022, kanti unyaka ngemva kwalokho sizobona ama-chips anenqubo yokukhiqiza engu-3nm.

Inqubo yokukhiqiza

Kodwa ukuze sikuqonde kahle, ake sichaze ngokushesha ukuthi inqubo yokukhiqiza ikhombisani ngempela. Namuhla singabona okukhulunywa ngakho kuwo wonke amakhona - noma ngabe sikhuluma ngamaphrosesa endabuko amakhompyutha noma ama-chips ama-smartphones kanye namathebulethi. Njengoba sibonisile ngenhla, inikezwa ngamayunithi we-nanometer, anquma ibanga phakathi kwama-electrode amabili ku-chip. Okuncane kakhulu, ama-transistors amaningi angafakwa ku-chip yosayizi ofanayo futhi, ngokuvamile, azohlinzeka ngokusebenza okuphumelelayo, okuzoba nomthelela omuhle kuyo yonke idivayisi ezofakwa i-chip. Enye inzuzo ukusetshenziswa kukagesi okuncane.

Ukushintshela kunqubo yokukhiqiza engu-3nm ngokungangabazeki kuzoletha izinguquko ezibalulekile. Ngaphezu kwalokho, lezi zilindeleke ngokuqondile kwa-Apple, njengoba idinga ukuhambisana nomncintiswano futhi inikeze amakhasimende ayo izixazululo ezingcono kakhulu nezisebenza kahle kakhulu. Futhi singaxhuma lokhu okulindelekile nokunye ukuqagela okuzungeza ama-chips e-M2. Ngokusobala, i-Apple ihlela ukugxuma okukhulu ekusebenzeni kunalokho esikubonile kuze kube manje, okuzojabulisa ochwepheshe ikakhulukazi. Ngokweminye imibiko, i-Apple ihlela ukuxhuma ama-chips amane ngenqubo yokukhiqiza ye-3nm ndawonye futhi ngaleyo ndlela ilethe ucezu oluzonikela ku-40-core processor. Ngokubukeka kwayo, kuningi okufanele sikubheke ngabomvu.
