Iprojekthi ye-Apple Silicon ihamba njengenqanawa ye-rocket. Daniel Craig Sele esothusile kumsitho weWWDC kuloJuni uphelileyo ngokuveza umbono omtsha wenkampani kwimeko ehambele phambili. Kwiintsuku ezimbalwa emva kwengcaciso ephambili, iiprototypes zokuqala zeMac mini kunye neprosesa ye-ARM yayisele ithunyelwe kubaphuhlisi abathile.
Siyazi kakuhle i-firmware yayo ngokwaneleyo. IMacOS Big Sur iya kujongana nokuxhaphaza okunokwenzeka kweeprosesa ezintsha ze-ARM, ikwahambelana nee-Intel Macs zangoku. Kwaye ngoku sifunda ukuba ukuveliswa kobunzima bokuqala I-ARM MacBooks. Konke oku kuya kuchazwa kuthi (siza kuthatha njalo) ngoLwesibini olandelayo, nge-10 kaNovemba.
Kubonakala ngathi iApple izimisele ukuba sele yenziwe 2,5 izigidi IiMacBooks kunye neeprosesa ezintsha ze-ARM ngoFebruwari 2021. Nantsi ingxelo entsha epapashwe ngu Ukuhlaziywa kwama-Asian Nikkei.
Ngokomthombo, ii-odolo zokuqala zemveliso ye-Apple Silicon-era MacBooks zilingana phantse neepesenti ezingama-20 zeeyunithi ezizizigidi ezili-12,6 zeeMacBook ezenziwe ngo-2019.
Le ngxelo ikwachaza ukuba iiprosesa eziza kunyusa iiMacBooks ezintsha ziya kwenziwa TSMC usebenzisa inkqubo yokuvelisa i-nanometer ezintlanu.
Oku kubonakala ngathi kuqinisekisa amanye amarhe okuba iiprosesa zokuqala ze-ARM ze-Apple Silicon Macs zexesha elizayo ziya kuba ziintlobo ze-chip yangoku. A14 I-iPad Air kunye ne-iPhone 12. Le processor yile chip kuphela eyenzelwe i-Apple eyilwe ngenkqubo ye-nanometer ezintlanu ukuza kuthi ga ngoku.
Uvavanyo lweNikkei lwaseAsia lukwaqinisekisa ukuba iApple iza kwazisa ngakumbi iikhompyuter zeApple Silicon kwikota yesibini ka-2021, njalo njalo. Ukuhlaziya ikhathalogu yabo yonke isuka kwii-Macs kunye neeprosesa ze-Intel kwiikhompyuter esekwe kwiiprosesa zabo ngokwakha i-ARM.
Ngokuqinisekileyo siya kuyimamela le nto sixelelwa ngu-Apple ngoLwesibini olandelayo 10 ngoNovemba ngentsimbi yesi-19 ngokuhlwa eSpain kwisiganeko esibonakalayo "One More Thing ..." esiyilungisileyo, ngokungathandabuzekiyo sigxile kwixesha elitsha le-Apple Silicon.
