Kuyacaca ukuthi yize kushoda ama-chips, imishini yale makethe ayimi umzuzwana. TSMC, umkhiqizi oyinhloko wama-processor we-ARM we-Apple, uzoqala ukukhiqiza ama-chips e-architecture angu-2nm ngo-2025.
Lokho kusho ukuthi ngalowo nyaka izisetshenziswa ezethulwe yinkampani yakwaCupertino zizofaka amaphrosesa ngobuchwepheshe obushiwo: Azoba ngaphezulu kakhulu. ngokushesha nangempumelelo kunalezi zamanje, ngokusekelwe ekwakhiweni kwe-5nm.
I-DigiTimes namuhla ishicilele a umbiko lapho echaza khona ukuthi umkhiqizi wama-chip i-TSMC uzobe ekulungele ukukhiqiza amaphrosesa ngobuchwepheshe be 2nm ngo-2025. Uma sibheka ukuthi yiyona eyenza wonke ama-ARM processors akwa-Apple, akuthathi i-Sherlock Holmes ukuqinisekisa ukuthi ama-iPhones, ama-iPads nama-Macs athulwe ngo-2025 azofaka ama-processor ngobuchwepheshe obushiwo.
Njengamanje, wonke ama-chips akamuva e-Apple afaka inqubo yokukhiqiza engu-5nm, okuhlanganisa i- I-A15 i-Bionic yochungechunge lwe-iPhone 13 nawo wonke umugqa we-Apple Silicon M1s. Ngokusho kwe-DigiTimes, i-TSMC izoqala ukukhiqizwa kwenqwaba yama-chips angu-3nm ngokuhamba kwesikhathi kulo nyaka, kanye ne-2nm ngo-2025, ne-Apple ne-Intel phakathi kwamakhasimende okuqala ukusebenzisa ubuchwepheshe obusha bokukhiqiza iphrosesa.
Sekuvele kwaziwa ukuthi imodeli elandelayo ye iPad Pro, okulindeleke ukuthi imenyezelwe ngasekupheleni kwalo nyaka, izoba ne-3nm processor. I-iPad Pro yamanje ifaka i-chip ye-1nm M5, kanti inguqulo ka-2022 kulindeleke ukuthi ifake i-"M2" ye-Apple entsha. Ubuchwepheshe benqubo ye-3nm buveza ukuthuthukiswa kokusebenza okufika ku-15% uma kuqhathaniswa nomanje, okwenza ngcono ukusetshenziswa kwamandla ngo-25%, njengoba kuchazwe umkhiqizi wawo, i-TSMC.
Ngakho-ke, i-Apple iyaqhubeka nendlela yokwenza amadivaysi ayo asebenze kangcono, futhi adle kancane, eminyakeni ezayo.
