Ngokwengxelo yeVentureBeat, Intel idibanise iqela langaphezulu 1.000 abantu ukwakha iitshiphusi zesizukulwana esilandelayo se-iPhone. Ngokukodwa, i-Intel inethemba lokubonelela chip 7360 LTE imodem kwi-Apple, kwaye ukuba konke kuhamba kakuhle nokuba uthathe inxaxheba kwimveliso.
I-iPhone 6s kunye ne-iPhone 6s Plus zineempawu ze Iitshiphusi zeQualcomm 9X45 LTE. I-Intel inethemba lokuba kulo nyaka uzayo baya kuba nakho ukubonelela ngemodem yabo ubuncinane kwii-iPhones ze-Apple eziza kwenziwa ngo-2016. Qualcomm Okwangoku inoxanduva lokubonelela ngeemodem kuzo zonke iifowuni ze-Apple.
Imodem ye-Intel ye-LTE 7360 kulindeleke ukuba iqalise ukuthunyelwa kamva kulo nyaka kubavelisi, ukuze ithunyelwe kamva kulo nyaka. 2016. Ngokweengxelo, Intel icinga ukuba ukunxulumana kwayo ne-Apple Ibalulekile kwikamva lakho kwihlabathi eliphathwayo. Ngokucacileyo iApple ngumthengi ofuna kakhulu onemveliso enkulu kakhulu, kungoko imfuneko yabasebenzi abangaphezu kwe-1.000.
Kubalulekile ukuba uqaphele ukuba Intel akukafikelelwa ngokupheleleyo kwisivumelwano kunye ne-Apple. I-VentureBeat icebisa ngakumbi ukuba iapile ufuna ukwenza i itshiphu enye kwisizukulwana esilandelayo se-iPhone, esiya kudibanisa Iprosesa yeAx kunye ne-LTE modem chip. Ukwenza oku kuya kubonelela a isantya esikhawulezayo, ulawulo olungcono lwamandla, kwaye ke ngoko ubomi bebhetri obungcono. Kwakhona kuya kwenza ukuba i-chip encinci ibe nesithuba esingaphezulu ngaphakathi kwesixhobo ngokwaso, esinokubangela ukuba a ibhetri enkulu.
Ngelixa i-Apple yayiza kudala i-chip, i-Intel yayiza kukhathalela imveliso yayo ngenkqubo yokuvelisa. Iinanometer ezili-14. Okwangoku i-Samsung kunye ne-TSMC zabelana ngomsebenzi wokuvelisa iiprosesa, kunye neprosesa ye Iinanometer ezili-20. I-Intel yayiza kubenza kwi-nanometers ye-14 ngokwengxelo. I-Intel iphinda isebenze ekufezekiseni kwayo 10 iprosesa yenanometer, apho i-Apple inomdla kakhulu.
Nangona akukho nanye kwezi eqinisekisiweyo, kwaye mhlawumbi ayiyi kuba de i-Apple ibhengeze ngokusemthethweni isizukulwana sayo esilandelayo se-iPhone ngo-2016, I-Apple ibithumela iinjineli ukuba zisebenze ne-Intel kule projekthi.
