U-Vratislav Holub Ama-Mac awakaze enzelwe ukudlala. Ngemuva kwakho konke, yingakho imidlalo yohlelo lokusebenza lwe-macOS ingalungiswanga isikhathi eside, futhi abathuthukisi, ngokuphambene nalokho, bangayinaki ngempumelelo ipulatifomu ye-apula, okungashiwo ukuthi iyiqiniso kuze kube manje. Ukufika kwama-chips we-Apple Silicon kuyishintshe kakhulu ingxoxo, abasebenzisi be-Apple bagcine benentshisekelo yokudlala futhi bafuna izindlela ezahlukahlukene zokusebenzisa iMac yabo yokudlala. Okokugcina, ngeshwa, akulula kangako, ngoba ukusebenza okuphezulu akuqinisekisi ukusebenza kahle kwemidlalo.
Kungaba njalo okuthakaselayo
Ukuba khona kwe-API yesimanje nakho kubaluleke kakhulu, okubonakala kuvula amandla aphelele wehadiwe. Futhi kulapha lapho singahlangana khona nesikhubekiso esibalulekile. Endabeni ye-PC (Windows), umtapo wezincwadi we-DirectX uyabusa, kodwa ngeshwa awuwona amapulatifomu amaningi futhi awusebenzi kubasebenzisi be-Apple. I-Valve yenkampani, ngemuva kwemidlalo ye-Half-Life 2, i-Team Fortress 2 noma i-Counter-Strike, izama ukuxazulula lesi sifo, esinesabelo esingenakuphikwa ekuthuthukisweni kwe-multi-platform API ebizwa ngokuthi i-Vulkan, eyakhelwe ngokuqondile ukusebenza. ngempumelelo ngangokunokwenzeka ngemihlangano yanamuhla futhi inikeza nokusekelwa kwe-Apple Silicon. Okusho ukuthi, wayenganikela ngayo, uma othile engazange ayiphazamise ngamabomu.
I-Apple ivimba ukuqamba okusha
Kodwa njengoba sonke sazi i-Apple, lesi sikhondlakhondla se-Cupertino sizakhela eyaso indlela futhi siyiziba kancane kancane yonke imiqhudelwano. Kuyafana kakhulu endabeni yale ngxoxo, lapho kunqunywa khona ukuthi ama-Mac azoke abe ngamadivayisi afanelekile wokudlala. Ngakho-ke, nakuba i-Vulkan API inikeza ukwesekwa komdabu kwamakhompiyutha ane-Apple Silicon chips, inkampani yama-apula isisike ngokuphelele futhi ayisekeli ngokusemthethweni i-API, enesizathu esiyisisekelo. Esikhundleni salokho, inkampani ithembele esixazululweni sayo, esidala kancane kune-Vulcan futhi esebenza kangcono ne-Apple ecosystem - ibizwa ngeMetal. Ngaphambi kwalokho, amakhompiyutha e-Apple, amafoni namathebulethi ayethembele kwenye indlela endala ye-OpenCL, enyamalele futhi yathathelwa indawo ngokuphelele i-Metal.
Kodwa nansi inkinga. Abanye abalandeli be-apula bakubona njengo-Apple evimba ngokuphelele izinto ezintsha zakwamanye amazwe futhi engafuni ukuzivumela ukuthi zibe ezinhlelweni zayo, nakuba kungasiza, isibonelo, abadlali bamageyimu. Kodwa konke kuzobe kumayelana nesikhathi esingesihle. Umdondoshiya we-Cupertino kwadingeka asebenze ekuthuthukiseni i-API Metal isikhathi eside futhi ngokuqinisekile wasebenzisa imali eningi kuyo. Ukukhululwa kokuqala kwakuvele ku-2014. U-Vulkan, ngakolunye uhlangothi, weza eminyakeni emibili kamuva (2016). Ngesikhathi esifanayo, singabhekana nenkinga eyodwa, futhi lokho ukulungiselelwa okuphelele. Nakuba i-Vulkan graphics API iqondise cishe yonke ikhompuyutha ngaphansi kwelanga (ihlose ukuba inkundla ehlukene), i-Metal iqondiswe ngokuqondile ohlotsheni oluthile lwehadiwe, okuyizinto ze-Apple, ezingase ziveze imiphumela engcono.
Ikhompyutha entsha ye-Mac Studio
Kuzoba njani ngokudlala kuma-Mac?
Ngakho-ke iqiniso liwukuthi ama-Macs awakulungele ukudlala kunalokho ayeyikho, ake sithi, eminyakeni emibili edlule. Ukusebenza kwama-chips we-Apple Silicon kubanika ukusebenza okukhulu, kodwa emkhakheni wezokudlala, ngeke kusebenze ngaphandle kwe-API yezithombe zekhwalithi ephezulu, evumela imidlalo ukuthi isebenzise amandla aphelele wehadiwe. Ngenhlanhla, abanye onjiniyela bazama ukuphendula entuthukweni yamanje. Isibonelo, namuhla sine-MMORPG World of Warcraft ethandwayo etholakalayo, enikeza ngisho nokusekelwa komdabu kwamakhompyutha ane-Apple Silicon, uma isebenzisa i-Apple's Metal graphics API. Ngeshwa, besizokwazi kuphela ukubala imidlalo enjalo eminweni yethu.
