Ezinsukwini ezedlule, i-Apple ikuqinisekisile ukuthi izoba nezicucu ze-AMD ekwakhiweni kwayo ikusasa le-iMac. Futhi akusikho okokuqala ezinyangeni ezisanda kwedlula, njengoba kutholakala okushiwo kukhodi ye-Betas yeMacOS Sierra. Kusazobonwa ukuthi lokhu kuqaliswa kwenziwa kanjani, ngoba asikholwa ukuthi i-Intel Chips ikhishwe ngokuphelele ku-Apple ecosystem futhi ikakhulukazi kuma-Macs.
Namuhla sazi ngokusebenzisa Ama-digitimes, ukuthi i-Intel inqume ukuqhubekisela phambili uhlelo lwayo lokukhishwa ukuphikisana nezinhlelo ze-AMD. Inhlamvu kube ukukhululwa kweprosesa I-Ryzen.
Ngakho-ke, i-Intel izothuthukisa ukwethulwa kwemikhiqizo yayo emisha ebangeni layo ngezinyanga ezintathu Izimpophoma Zomgodi. IIsu lokushintsha kwe-ntel, lethula ama-Chips ngaphandle kwehluzo, ngokungafani nabaprosesa bamanje beSkylake neKaby Lake. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, lolu shintsho luvumela i-Intel ukuthi inikeze ukusebenza okuphezulu kuze kufike kuma-cores ayi-12.
Laba processor XeonZingahle zitholakale phakathi nenyanga kaJuni, lapho besingalindele ngaphambi kokuwa. Lezi zinhlobo azinandawo ekuhlelweni kwamanje kwe-Apple, kepha mhlawumbe inkampani izowasebenzisa kwi-Mac enekhadi lemifanekiso elizinikele, njengoba kunjalo nge-iMac.
Kepha i-Intel kusamele isebenze kanzima, njengoba ukukhishwa okushisayo kwe-140 W kungamukeleki kumamodeli wamanje. Amahlebezi athi kunalokho, imodeli yeXeon E3 izonqunyelwa izinguqulo ngaphezulu ngoba yama-Macs esizayo.
Ngakolunye uhlangothi, kulayini wendabuko we-Intel, I-Coffee Lake kungaba ngumlandeli wamanje I-Kaby Lake. Zingasetshenziswa kuma-Macs amanje, ukuguquguquka okuningi ukusho okuncane. Lezi zizokwakhiwa ngo-14 nm. Ukukhishwa kwayo okubonakalayo emakethe kuzoba ngo-Agasti walo nyaka, lapho ukwethulwa kwayo kwakungalindelekile kuze kube nguJanuwari 2018.
