I-TSMC isiqalile ukukhiqiza ama-iPhones walo nyaka

I-Bloomberg ibike namhlanje ekuseni ukuthi kusukela kuleli sonto, i-TSMC (okunguzakwethu okhethekile we-Apple kulokhu) isiqalile ukukhiqiza ama-iPhones azayo azowembulwa yi-Apple ngo-September wayo oyisihluthulelo. Ngakho-ke, umjikelezo wonyaka uyaphindwa, lapho ukukhiqizwa kwezingxenye zokuqala zama-iPhones amasha kuqala ngokunembile ekuqaleni kukaMeyi noJuni.

Ake sikhumbule lokho esikwaziyo ngempela ngamaphrosesa amasha. Singasho ngokuqiniseka okuphelele ukuthi bazobizwa ngegama elithi A12, njengoba i-Apple ilandela ukulandelana kwezinombolo kwemiklamo yayo yokucubungula. Into entsha cishe izothola esinye isiteketiso (njenge-A10 Fusion noma i-A11 Bionic). Nokho, akekho owaziyo okwamanje ukuthi kuzoba njani. Amaprosesa amasha azokhiqizwa kusetshenziswa inqubo yokukhiqiza eyi-7nm ethuthukisiwe (uma kuqhathaniswa ne-10nm esimweni se-A11 Bionic). Kusukela kulokhu, singalindela ukuthuthuka okwengeziwe kuzici zokusebenza ezifana nokuncipha kokusetshenziswa noma ekugcineni ukukhuphuka kokusebenza. Ngenxa yenqubo yokukhiqiza ethuthuke kakhudlwana, i-chip ngokwayo izoba yincane uma iqhathaniswa neyandulelayo, okuthi ngombono izokhulula isikhala esithile ngaphakathi kwefoni.

Bobabili i-TSMC ne-Apple ngokuqondakalayo abazange baphawule ngalezi zindaba. I-TSMC iqale ukukhiqizwa kokuqala kwama-chips angu-7nm kakade ngo-Ephreli, kodwa kwakuwumsebenzi wokwethula, obekufanele uphenduke ube ogcwele ngokugcwele emasontweni ambalwa edlule. Njengoba inani lamaphrosesa akhiqizwayo likhula, kanjalo nethuba lokuthi amabhentshimakhi okuqala azovela kuwebhu (njengoba nje imvamisa yokuvuza okuhlukahlukene okuhlobene neqiniso lokuthi umsebenzi wangempela kuma-iPhones amasha uzoqala ukwanda). Ngaleyo ndlela singathola imibono yokuqala mayelana nokusebenza phakathi nezinyanga ezimbili ezizayo.
