Ngalesi sithombe sikaCraig Federighi evula iMac yokuqala nge-M1 evela kulebhu eyimfihlo ye-Apple Park, iphrojekthi yaqalwa. I-Apple Silicon, ngokungangabazeki inkampani ebaluleke kakhulu eminyakeni yamuva.
Futhi phakathi naleso sethulo, iphini likamongameli womnyango wesoftware wakwa-Apple wachaza ukuthi ukushintshwa kwawo wonke ama-Mac asuselwa ku-Intel processors kuya kwabasha anezakhiwo ze-ARM, kuzohlala iminyaka emibili. Futhi konke kubonakala sengathi izinsuku zizohlangatshezwana nazo, ngokuvuselelwa kokuphela kwalo nyaka kweMac yakamuva nge-Intel chip, Mac Pro.
Umshicileli wezindaba odumile wakwa-Apple, DylanDTK, okuthunyelwe ku-akhawunti yakho Twitter ukuthi i-Apple ihlela ukuqedela lokho okubizwa nge-"Apple Silicon" inguquko ekupheleni kwalo nyaka. Kuchaza ukuthi ngekota yesine ka-2022, i-Apple izokwethula i-Mac Pro yayo entsha nge-ARM processor, ukuze ithathe indawo yemodeli yamanje efakwe i-Intel.
Uthe imodeli entsha izofakelwa iphrosesa entsha yochungechunge lwe-M. Ngeke ivele emndenini wakwa-M2, kodwa i-M1 enamandla kakhulu kune-M1 Max yamanje. angabambelela ku Izinhlamvu ze-40 ukucubungula kanye Izinhlamvu ze-128 okwezithombe. Ubuqaba bangempela.
Uma sicabangela ukuthi inkampani ihlela ukuvala indawo yamanje IMac 27-intshi maduzane, neprosesa ye-Intel, ye-Apple Silicon entsha, (okungenzeka engama-intshi angu-32) bese kuba yi-Mac Pro kuphela ezohlala njengesisekelo sokugcina se-Intel ngaphakathi kwesipho sekhompyutha ye-Apple.
Ngakho-ke lapho i-Mac enamandla kakhulu ye-Apple ithola i-makeover emuva ku- Ikota yesine kulo nyaka, iphrojekthi ye-Apple Silicon izoyeka ukuba "iphrojekthi" futhi izoba umlando, kusukela uguquko olusuka kuma-Macs e-Apple, wonke asekelwe kuma-Intel processors, ukuba nawo wonke amaphrosesa awo anezakhiwo ze-ARM kuzobe sekuqediwe.
