Ngemuva kwesimemezelo esisemthethweni se-Apple ngoLwesihlanu olwedlule maqondana ne-HomePod, ngeshwa elizobambezeleka kuze kuqale unyaka ozayo, okuwukuphela komkhiqizo omusha esizowubona kubafana baseCupertino ngaphambi kokuqala kuka-2018 kuzoba yi-iMac Pro entsha. Ngakho-ke, sikulethela amaqiniso athakazelisayo ngale divayisi entsha ebhlokini.
Isibonelo, njengemininingwane emangalisa ngokwengeziwe, onjiniyela UJohnathan Levin noSteve Troughton-Smith, bathole i-coprocessor noma Enye iprosesa eya kwi-Intel ejwayelekile efakwe kwi-iMac yenkampani yaseNyakatho Melika.
Lo mphathi, we ARM, kubonakala sengathi yi I-A10 Fusion, ngokumangazayo kuyafana ne-iPhone 7. Ngokusobala, le processor yesibili ifuna ukunikeza ukulawula okukhulu kumsebenzisi ngaphezulu kohlelo lokusebenza. Ngale ndlela, okunye ukusebenza esingakwenza kule iMac entsha kuzokwenziwa ngale processor entsha.
Kuyaqondakala ukuthi ngalokhu kusungulwa yi-Apple, Ifuna ibanga ukusuka ekuthembekeni okujwayelekile kwama-iMacs ohlobo ngabaprosesa be Intel. Mhlawumbe le nhlangano ingukuqala kokuphela kwalesi sivumelwano sokusebenzisana esibuyela emuva eminyakeni edlule.
Ungalenzi iphutha. Akukona okokuqala ukuthi i-Apple ifake iprosesa okungeyona Intel kumakhompyutha abo. Eqinisweni, iMacBook Pros eneTouch Bar ineprosesa ARM, kubizwe T1, eyenza imisebenzi ethile esivele ichazwe yisoftware.
Kulokhu, i-chip ARM lokho kuzokhuphula iMac Pro entsha izosebenza njengesengezo ku-chip ekhona ye- Intel. Lokhu kusho ukuthi izonikeza ukuzinza nokuthembeka okukhulu kumkhiqizo omusha ovela kubafana abase-block, ezimeni eziningi okufanele ibhekane nazo.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, kunesikhathi eside kunamahemuhemu okuthi i-Apple yenza okufanayo ngamakhompyutha ayo njengamadivayisi wayo aphathekayo, faka amaprosesa akho, ukhohlwe mayelana I-Intel, iQualcomm noma omunye umkhakha. Mhlawumbe lo mzuzu useduze kunokuba ubukeka.
Uma siqagela ngalezi zinhlobo zokulungiswa okwenziwa yi-Apple kwi-iMac 2017 yayo entsha, Singasho ukuthi kunenhloso ecacile ohlangothini lwenkampani yaseNyakatho Melika ukunciphisa ukubaluleka ikuthole Intel kumakhompyutha abo eminyakeni edlule. Ucabangani? Sizobona ukuthi kugcina kwenzekani.
