Adam Kos Kwakungu-2020 futhi i-Apple yethula i-chip yayo ye-M1. Ngokuhambisana nayo, unikeze abathuthukisi iMac Mini ene-A12Z chip kanye ne-beta yonjiniyela we-macOS Big Sur ukuze bakwazi ukulungiselela kahle isizukulwane esisha samakhompyutha akwa-Apple. IMicrosoft yenza into efanayo kakhulu manje.
Ikhithi Yenguquko Yonjiniyela yayihloselwe ukusiza onjiniyela bathuthukise izinhlelo zabo zokusebenza ezibhalelwe amaphrosesa e-Intel kumakhompyutha azayo anama-chips e-ARM. Njengoba nje i-Apple ine-WWDC futhi i-Google ine-I/O yayo, iMicrosoft inoBuild. Engqungqutheleni yabathuthukisi be-Build 2022 kuleli sonto, iMicrosoft iphinde yamemezela okuthile okufana kakhulu nalokho esibe nethuba lokukubona eminyakeni emibili edlule ne-Apple.
Kungaba njalo okuthakaselayo
Iphrojekthi yeVolterra
Nakuba i-Project Volterra izwakala iyindle, empeleni iyindawo yokusebenzela encane enomugqa oyisikwele, umbala omnyama, ompunga wesikhala, futhi mhlawumbe ne-aluminium chassis (ngaphandle kwalapho iMicrosoft isebenzisa ipulasitiki egaywe kabusha edotshwe olwandle). Yize imininingwane ingakacaciswanga, okwaziwayo ukuthi umshini awusebenzi ku-Intel processor. Iyabheja ekwakhiweni kwe-ARM ehlinzekwa yi-Qualcomm (ngakho kuyi-Snapdragon engashiwongo), ngoba isebenzisa iWindows ye-ARM, iMicrosoft engakayihlinzeki ngokwemvelo kumadivayisi we-Apple.
Bekungabukeki kakhulu sengathi iMicrosoft izogxumela emanzini e-ARM. Kepha ukukhungatheka ngokuhamba kancane kokuthuthukiswa kweprosesa ye-Intel akuzange kumnikeze ukukhetha okuningi. Ngakho-ke yize kubukeka sengathi iMicrosoft ilandela ezinyathelweni zika-Apple, akukho okukhombisa ukuthi iProjekthi Volterra yayihloselwe ukudayiswa. Ngakho-ke lokhu kumane nje kungenye "imisebenzi" yokwakha ehloselwe ukuhlolwa, hhayi ukuthengiswa kamuva.
Igalari yezithombe
Noma kunjalo, iMicrosoft inombono ocacile wokuthi ubuchwepheshe besikhathi esizayo buzobukeka kanjani. I-Microsoft ikholelwa ukuthi umhlaba oqhubeka usebenzisa ubuhlakani bokwenziwa, amayunithi wokucubungula i-neural kanye ne-cloud computing uphambi kwethu. Ngakho-ke ingxenye eyinselele kufanele yenzeke kwenye indawo ngaphandle kwamathuluzi esiwasebenzisayo. Inkampani ithi ngokwezwi nezwi: "Esikhathini esizayo, ukuhambisa imithwalo yomsebenzi yekhompuyutha phakathi kweklayenti namafu kuzoba namandla futhi kungenamthungo njengokuhamba phakathi kwe-Wi-Fi namaselula ocingweni lwakho namuhla." Umbono uthandeka njengoba unesibindi, kepha noma kunjalo awudlali kumakhadi we-Intel kakhulu.
