Iphrojekthi ye-Apple Silicon ihamba njengomkhumbi we-rocket. Daniel Craig Usivele wasimangaza emcimbini we-WWDC ngoJuni odlule ngokwethula umbono omusha wenkampani esimweni esithuthukile impela. Ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ngemuva kwengqikithi, ama-prototypes okuqala e-Mac mini aneprosesa ye-ARM ayesevele athunyelwa kwabanye onjiniyela.
Siyayazi futhi i-firmware yayo ngokwanele. IMacOS Big Sur izophatha ukusizakala ngamathuba ama-processor amasha we-ARM, iphinde ihambisane nama-Intel Macs amanje. Futhi manje sithola ukuthi ukukhiqizwa okukhulu kokuqala Ama-ARM MacBooks. Konke lokhu sizokuchazelwa (sicabanga kanjalo) ngoLwesibili oluzayo, Novemba 10.
Kubukeka sengathi i-Apple ihlose ukuthi isivele ikwenzile Izigidi ezingu-2,5 IMacBooks enezinqubo ezintsha ze-ARM zikaFebhuwari 2021. Nakhu umbiko omusha oshicilelwe ngu Ukubuyekezwa kwe-Nikkei Asian.
Ngokomthombo, ama-oda okuqala okukhiqiza ama-MacBooks enkathi yokuqala ye-Apple Silicon alingana cishe namaphesenti angama-20 wamayunithi ayizigidi ezingama-12,6 amaMacBooks akhiqizwa ngo-2019.
Lo mbiko uphinde uchaze ukuthi amaprosesa azofaka ama-MacBooks amasha azokwenziwa ngu TSMC kusetshenziswa inqubo yokukhiqiza i-nanometer emihlanu.
Lokhu kubonakala kufakazela amanye amahlebezi okuthi ama-processor we-ARM okuqala we-Apple Silicon Macs yesikhathi esizayo azohluka ku-chip yamanje. A14 I-iPad Air ne-iPhone 12. Le processor yiyona kuphela i-chip eyenzelwe i-Apple eyenzelwe inqubo yama-nanometer amahlanu kuze kube manje.
Ukubuyekezwa kweNikkei Asian nakho kuqinisekisa ukuthi i-Apple izokwethula amakhompyutha amaningi we-Apple Silicon kwikota yesibili ka-2021, njalonjalo. ukuvuselela ikhathalogu yabo yonke evela kuma-Macs enezinqubo ze-Intel eziya kumakhompyutha ngokuya ngamaprosesa abo abanokwakhiwa kwe-ARM.
Akungabazeki ukuthi sizokulalela lokho u-Apple asitshela khona ngoLwesibili oluzayo 10 ngoNovemba ngo-19 ntambama eSpain kumcimbi obonakalayo othi "One More Thing ..." awulungiselele, ngokungangabazeki wagxila enkathini entsha ye-Apple Silicon.
