U-Vratislav Holub Lapho u-Apple ememezela ngoJuni 2020, ngesikhathi sengqungquthela yonjiniyela i-WWDC20, uguquko lusuka ku-Intel processors luye kwisixazululo se-Apple Silicon, lwadonsa ukunaka okukhulu. Abalandeli bebenelukuluku lokwazi futhi bekhathazekile kancane ngokuthi i-Apple izoqhamuka nani ngempela, nokuthi besisenkingeni yini ngamakhompyutha akwa-Apple. Ngenhlanhla, kwakungenjalo. Ama-Macs athuthuke kakhulu ngokufika kwama-chipsets awo, hhayi kuphela ngokuya ngokusebenza, kodwa nangokuphila kwebhethri/ukusetshenziswa. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ngesikhathi sokwembulwa kwayo yonke iphrojekthi, umdondoshiya wengeze into eyodwa ebaluleke kakhulu - ukuguqulwa okuphelele kwama-Macs ku-Apple Silicon kuzoqedwa phakathi neminyaka emibili.
Kungaba njalo okuthakaselayo
Ukundiza emhlabeni wonke nge-Apple Kepha njengoba kungenzeka uyazi kakade, i-Apple yehlulekile kulokhu. Yize ekwazile ukufaka ama-chips amasha kulo lonke iphothifoliyo yamakhompyutha akwa-Apple, wakhohlwa kancane ngeyodwa - ingaphezulu eliphelele lobubanzi ngendlela yeMac Pro. Sisayilindile nanamuhla. Ngenhlanhla, izinto eziningi zicaciswa ukuvuza okuvela emithonjeni ehlonishwayo, ngokusho ukuthi i-Apple ibambeke kancane ekuthuthukisweni kwedivayisi ngokwayo futhi yangena emikhawulweni yobuchwepheshe bamanje. Kodwa-ke, ngawo wonke ama-akhawunti, kufanele sibe yizinyathelo zokugcina nje kude nokwethulwa kwe-Mac Pro yokuqala ne-Apple Silicon chip. Kodwa lokhu futhi kusikhombisa uhlangothi olumnyama futhi kuletha ukukhathazeka ngentuthuko yesikhathi esizayo.
Ingabe i-Apple Silicon iyindlela okufanele uhambe ngayo?
Ngakho-ke, umbuzo obalulekile uvele ngokunengqondo phakathi kwabatshali be-apula. Ingabe ukuthuthela ku-Apple Silicon bekuyisinyathelo esifanele? Singakubuka lokhu ngemibono eminingana, kuyilapho uma uthi nhlá ukuthunyelwa kwama-chipsets ethu kubonakala kungenye yezinqumo ezinhle kakhulu zeminyaka yamuva. Njengoba sishilo ngenhla, amakhompyutha we-Apple athuthuke kakhulu, ikakhulukazi amamodeli ayisisekelo. Eminyakeni embalwa edlule, lezi zazibhekwa njengezingamadivayisi anamandla kakhulu, emathunjini lapho kwakukhona ama-Intel processors ayisisekelo ahlanganiswe nehluzo ezihlanganisiwe. Akukhona nje ukuthi ayenganele ngokusebenza, kodwa futhi ahlushwa ukushisa ngokweqile, okwabangela ukuthi i-thermal throttling engaziwa kakhulu. Ngehaba elincane, kungathiwa i-Apple Silicon isuse lezi ziphutha futhi yadweba umugqa owugqinsi ngemuva kwayo. Okusho ukuthi, uma sishiya eceleni amanye amacala aphathelene neMacBook Airs.
Lena yindlela i-Apple eyethule ngayo i-chip yokuqala ye-M1
Kumamodeli ayisisekelo namalaptop ngokujwayelekile, i-Apple Silicon ibusa ngokusobala. Kodwa kuthiwani ngamamodeli angempela aphezulu? Njengoba i-Apple Silicon iyilokho okubizwa nge-SoC (Isistimu ku-Chip), ayinikezi i-modularity, edlala indima ebaluleke kakhulu esimweni se-Mac Pro. Lokhu kushayela abasebenzisi be-apula esimweni lapho kufanele bakhethe ukumisa kusenesikhathi, abangasenayo inketho yokuyihambisa kamuva. Ngasikhathi sinye, ungenza ngezifiso iMac Pro (2019) ekhona ngokwezidingo zakho, ngokwesibonelo, shintsha amakhadi wehluzo namanye amamojula amaningi. Kungale ndlela lapho iMac Pro izolahlekelwa khona, futhi kungumbuzo wokuthi abalandeli be-Apple ngokwabo bazoba nomusa kangakanani ku-Apple.
Izinkinga zamanje nezesikhathi esizayo
Njengoba sesishilo esingenisweni, i-Apple ihlangabezane nezinkinga ezimbalwa ezibalulekile ngesikhathi kuthuthukiswa iMac Pro nge-Apple Silicon chip, ebambezele kakhulu intuthuko kanjalo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, kuvela olunye usongo kulokhu. Uma umdondoshiya weCupertino usezabalaza kanje, liyoba njani ikusasa? Ukwethulwa kwesizukulwane sokuqala, noma ngabe kwakuyisimangaliso esijabulisayo mayelana nokusebenza, akusona isiqinisekiso sokuthi umdondoshiya waseCupertino uzokwazi ukuphinda le mpumelelo. Kodwa into eyodwa evela ngokusobala engxoxweni nesekela likamongameli wokumaketha kwemikhiqizo yomhlaba wonke u-Bob Borchers - ku-Apple, kuseseqhulwini nomgomo wokulahla ngokuphelele ama-Intel processors futhi esikhundleni salokho ushintshele kwisixazululo sawo ngendlela ye-Apple Silicon. Ukuthi uzophumelela kangakanani kulokhu, umbuzo okuzodingeka siwulinde. Ukuphumelela kwamamodeli wangaphambilini akusona isiqinisekiso sokuthi iMac Pro osekunesikhathi ilindelwe izofana.
