Batsho ukuba ukulungiswa kububulumko, kwaye yile nto isenziwa nguApple namhlanje ngombandela wokubuya kwe DTK Mac mini. Inyani yeyokuba yayingeyiyo kanye le nto inkampani yayijonge ukuyenza ekuqaleni nge-Apple Silicon Development Kit eyayithumele kubaphuhlisi abathile kulo nyaka uphelileyo.
I-Apple kule veki icele ukubuyiswa kwe-Mac mini Apple Silicon kits eyithumele ehlotyeni edlulileyo, kwaye ngokutshintshiselana ngayo ihlawule i-200 yeedola. Abaphuhlisi abachaphazelekayo baye bakhalaza kwaye ngokufanelekileyo, ekubeni bahlawula i-$ 500 ngelo xesha, kwaye baye bakwazi ukusebenzisa iiprototypes kwiinyanga ze-6 kuphela. I-Apple iye yalungisa, kwaye uya kuhlawula ngokupheleleyo ngento ehlawulweyo. Umcimbi usonjululwe.
Iintsuku ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo ixelwe yesigqibo esenziwe ngu-Apple kwaye sothusa wonke umntu, ngakumbi abo bachaphazelekayo. Abaphuhlisi ababandakanyekayo baye bakhalaza, kwaye inkampani iye yasilungisa isigqibo sayo.
Kwiinyanga ngaphambi kokusungulwa ngokusemthethweni kweM1 Macs, iApple inike abanye abaphuhlisi iKit yeNguqu yoPhuhlisi (DTK) nge500 yeedola ebandakanya iMac mini exhotyiswe ngechip. I-A12Z I-Bionic isetyenziswe kuqala kwi-iPad Pro, i-16 GB ye-RAM, i-512 GB SSD, izibuko ezimbini ze-USB-C, izibuko ezimbini ze-USB-A kunye ne-HDMI 2.0 port. ukwenza iimvavanyo ngeMac kunye neprosesa ye-ARM.
Ezi prototypes zakhutshelwa okwethutyana yinkampani unyaka omnye, kwaye ekuqaleni kwale veki, i-Apple yamangalisa wonke umntu ngokucela abaphuhlisi ukuba babuyisele i-Mac minis ngoku ngokutshintshiselana nesaphulelo se-$ 200 ekuthengeni entsha, ngoku esemthethweni, i-Apple Silicon Mac.
Ekubeni abaphuhlisi abafumene i-DTK bahlawule ngelo xesha IRandi ye500, abaninzi babenganelisekanga sisixa somrhumo, owawunomhla wokuphelelwa kwawo ekupheleni kukaMeyi. Bakhalazela inani elingonelanga ngenxa yeprototype engazange isebenze kakuhle kwaye baneenyanga ezi-6 kuphela.
Apple uye waqonda, kwaye Uye walungisa isigqibo sokuqala. Iyonyusile ikhredithi, kwaye ngoku iza kubonelela abaphuhlisi nge-500 yeedola abazikhuphele kwi-M1 Mac okanye nayiphi na enye imveliso ye-Apple. Apho ndithe ndithi, ndithi Diego.
