Kwiiyure ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo siye saphawula ngeengxelo zikaMing-Chi Kuo malunga nehlabathi le-Apple, njengemithombo echanekileyo. Ewe, isigqeba sitshilo kwiiyure ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo ukuba i-TSMC kunye ne-Apple zisebenza kwiiMacs ezineprosesa ze-ARM zika-2020 okanye ngo-2021.
Kuyabonakala ukuba, ulwazi luvela kwinqaku elikhutshwe kubanini-zabelo, malunga nokwandiswa kweekhontrakthi zokuvelisa iiprosesa ze-iPhone kunye ne-iPad, kodwa kwakhona ukusuka. Uthotho lweeprosesa zeMacs, ukuqala ngo-2020 okanye ngo-2021. Inqaku lichaza ukuba igalelo kwiiMacs liya kugqitywa kwaye lingabi yinxalenye yazo.
Izibonelelo zawo omabini amaqela zibanzi, ngokukaMing-Chi Kuo. I iindleko zokuvelisa ziya kuba ngaphantsi, evumela ukuba a ixabiso eliphantsi kwaye ufumane isabelo esikhulu semarike. Kwakhona, I-Apple izahlula kwiimveliso ezikhuphisanayo, nangona le projekthi, ekhokelwa yi-ARM, inokubaluleka okanye ibe yingozi. Njengeeprojekthi ezininzi zoshishino, impumelelo yale nyathelo ibalulekileyo iya kubonakala kuphela ekuhambeni kwexesha.
Olu tshintsho luchaphazela iindawo ezininzi zecandelo leMac kunokuba kubonakala ngathi ekuqaleni. Okokuqala, utshintsho alunakwenzeka kulo lonke uluhlu. Ngokuqinisekileyo, izixhobo zokuqala apho sibona iitshiphusi ze-ARM ziya kuba zezona zinamandla aphantsi, njengabanye IMacBook okanye iMac mini. Okwesibini, olu tshintsho Ibandakanya ukutshintsha uyilo lobuninzi besoftware, kuquka inkqubo yokusebenza ye-macOS. Ngayiphi na imeko, i-Apple yaziwa ngokwenza umlingo ngolu tshintsho, njengoko lwenzile kutshanje ngokufuduka ukusuka kwi-HFS + ukuya kwi-APFS.
Okokugqibela, asazi ukuba i-Intel isabela njani ekushiyweni kuka-Apple. Kuyinyani ukuba iingxaki zokhuseleko ze-Intel chips ziye zaba "ngumququ ophuke umqolo wenkamela" kwinkampani yeCupertino, kodwa amandla okuphendula e-Intel ahlala ephezulu. Ngayo yonke le nto, siza kunikela ingqalelo kwiinyanga ezizayo malunga noku.
