Ku-WWDC 2020, uTim Cook umemezele ukuthi i-Apple isilungele ukusebenzisa amaprosesa ayo ngokuhamba konyaka. I-Apple Silicon kuzoba yiqiniso elicacile ezinyangeni ezimbalwa. Okwamanje, ama-Macs aqhubeka nokufaka amaprosesa avela enkampanini ye-Intel. Lesi sesivele siyamemezela izinzuzo zamaprosesa aseTiger Lake. Abanye abaprosesa okungenzeka ukuthi ngeke babekwe kunoma iyiphi iMac yize i-Intel ibonakala isenethemba.
Nge-Apple Silicon kaTim Cook isikhangiso sisebenza ezinyangeni ezimbalwa naku ukunwetshwa okugcwele eminyakeni emibili, amazwi ahlukene e-Intel asheshe asho ukuthi yize ukubambisana phakathi kwalezi zinkampani zombili kungaphela, kufanele kubhekwe ukuthi zizohlala zixhunyaniswa yiwo wonke ama-Mac ezinamaprosesa omkhiqizo futhi ngoba kungenzeka ukuthi ezinye zezinto ezintsha zisengasetshenziswa kuma-Macs alandelayo.
Kepha lokhu kungenzeka kube nzima ukwenzeka ngoba uma ukwethulwa kwe-Apple Silicon kwenzeka ngasekupheleni kwalo nyaka, kungahambisana nokwethulwa kweTiger Lake. I-Apple ngeke izikhathaze ngokwenza amamodeli amasha we-Mac ngalaba bacubungula wazi ukuthi esikhathini esiyiminyaka emibili kufanele uvakalise ukuthi ayisasebenzi ngokwamukela ngokuphelele i-Apple Silicon.
Amaprosesa aseTiger Lake ayamangalisa. I-Apple kufanele isinakekele lesi sinyathelo ukugwema ukuwela ekuphambukeni. I-Intel ilungisa amaprosesa asheshayo ngezindleko eziphansi kanye nokuphathwa okungcono kokushisa. Lokhu kusho ukuthi izosebenza kangcono ngokusebenza kunemidwebo yakho kusuka kusizukulwane se-11 nangaphambilini, njengoba ikwazi ukusebenza kumaza aphezulu nokusebenza okungcono kumandla afanayo. Ngenye indlela, futhi ingahlinzeka ngokusebenza okuqhathaniswa nesizukulwane esedlule lapho isebenzisa amandla amancane.
