Ondrej Holzman Inyuvesi yaseWisconsin, noma uphiko lwayo lwelungelo lobunikazi, iWisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WARF), iwine icala elisola i-Apple ngokwephula ilungelo layo lobunikazi. Lobu buchwepheshe be-microprocessor obuthintekayo, futhi u-Apple kufanele akhokhe inhlawulo yezigidi ezingu-234 zamadola (imiqhele eyizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-5,6).
I-WARF wamangalela Apple ekuqaleni konyaka odlule. Inkampani yaseCalifornia kuthiwa yephula ilungelo layo lobunikazi le-microarchitecture lango-7 kuma-chips ayo e-A8, A8 kanye ne-A1998X, kanti i-WARF ibifuna amarandi ayizigidi ezingama-400 ngomonakalo.
Ijaji manje selinqume ukuthi ukwephulwa kwelungelo lobunikazi kwenzeke ngempela, kodwa lahlawulisa u-Apple amaRandi ayizigidi ezingama-234 kuphela. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, ngokwamaphepha asenkantolo, ingakhula ifinyelele ezigidini ezingu-862 zamaRandi. Inhlawulo nayo iphansi ngenxa yokuthi, ngokusho kwejaji, ukwephulwa komthetho bekungeyona inhloso.
"Isinqumo siyizindaba ezimnandi," esho Reuters umqondisi we-WARF uCarl Gulbrandsen. Ku-Apple, noma kunjalo, izigidi ezingama-234 zimelela enye yezinhlawulo ezinkulu kakhulu ekuqulweni kwelungelo lobunikazi.
I-Apple yephule ilungelo lobunikazi le-WARF ku-iPhone 5S, 6 kanye ne-6 Plus, i-iPad Air ne-iPad mini 2, lapho kuvele khona ama-chips e-A7, A8 noma e-A8X. Umenzi we-iPhone wenqabile ukuphawula ngesinqumo senkantolo, kodwa wathi uhlela ukusidlulisela phambili lesi sinqumo.
Ngakho WAFR noma WARF??
