Lokhu akumi. Uma njengamanje sisebenzisa ama-7-nanometer chips kumadivayisi ethu futhi ama-processor we-5nm aqala ukubonakala emakethe, sekuvele kukhona abakhiqizi abahlola amachips amasha, noma amancane kakhulu I-3 nm.
Futhi lokhu kuthuthuka akukhona nje ukunciphisa usayizi weprosesa. Lokhu kusho ukusebenza okuphezulu, nokusebenza kahle kwamandla. Amandla amaningi we inqubo ngokusetshenziswa okuncane yebo zibalulekile, ikakhulukazi kulawo madivayisi asebenza nebhethri. Ngakho-ke ngo-2022 sizobabona ku-iPhone, iPad naku-MacBooks Silicon yesikhathi esizayo
Umenzi we-Chip TSMC sekusele kancane ukuqeda ukuklama inqubo yokukhiqiza ama-nanometer chips ama-3 amasha. Ngokuqinisekile izokwazi ukuqala ukukhiqizwa kwamanani amancane ngo-2021, futhi uma konke kuhamba ngohlelo, izobe isilungele ukukhiqizwa ngobuningi ngo-2022.
I-TMSC ikhiqiza amaprosesa anezakhiwo ze-ARM. Eqinisweni, ingomunye wabakhiqizi abahamba phambili bama-processor we-Apple wamanje we-ARM, futhi ingenye yalezo ezenza iprosesa. I-A12Z Bionic, okuthuthuke kakhulu emlandweni we-Apple.
Umbiko okhishwe kuleli sonto ngu I-MyDrivers ithi umphathi we-TMSC ukuvezile lokho ngaphambi kokuqeda kulo nyaka, inkampani yakho izomemezela obala iprosesa yayo entsha ye-3 nanometer.
Umphathi we-Said uqinisekisa ukuthi le processor yesikhathi esizayo, uma iqhathaniswa neyamanje engu-5 nm, izoba nobukhulu be-transistor ka 15% ephakeme, ukwanda kokusebenza phakathi kwe- 10 no-15%, nokonga ukusetshenziswa kwamandla phakathi 20 no-25%.
Ubudlelwano phakathi kweTSMC ne-Apple buhle kakhulu. Ungomunye wabakhiqizi abakhulu bama-processor we-Apple's ARM afaka i-iPhone, i-iPad, ne-Apple TV. Uzobuye aphathe futhi ukukhiqiza ama-processor amasha we-ARM azobekwa kuma-Macs azayo. I-Apple Silicon. Ngakho-ke kungenzeka kakhulu ukuthi abaprosesa bokuqala be-3nm abavela ochungechungeni lwe-TMSC bazophrinta isikrini se-manzanita.
