Kusukela UCraig Federighi yaziswa umhlaba wonke iphrojekthi ye-Apple Silicon, kusukela egumbini elingaphansi kwe-Apple Park, inkampani isebenza ngokungakhathali ukuqeda inhloso yayo. Futhi ngaphandle kokungabaza izokufeza, ibona ijubane lokuhamba ngesikebhe othe iphrojekthi liyathatha.
Olunye ushintsho olubaluleke kakhulu kuwo wonke umlando we-Apple. Ukuthi wonke amakhompyutha athengiswa yinkampani ayeke ukusebenzisa ama-Intel processor, bese eshintshela kulawa amasha Ama-chips e-ARM yakhelwe kuphela i-Apple, njenge-M1 esivele idumile. Ngenkathi bethula ama-Macs okuqala ngale processor, inkampani isiqinisekisile ukuthi eminyakeni emibili lonke uguquko kwikhathalogi yayo yamakhompyutha luzobe seluphothuliwe.
UMark Gurman esanda kushicilelwa kubhulogi lakhe elaziwayo Bloomberg izinhloso i-Apple enazo ngephrojekthi ye-Apple Silicon. Ngenkathi inkampani yethula iphrojekthi ngokungazelele eWWDC20, ngonyaka owedlule, uFederighi wasichazela ukuthi lokhu kuguqulwa kwawo wonke ama-Apple Macs kusuka ku-Intel kuya ku-ARM kuzoqedwa eminyakeni emibili.
Onke ama-ARM Macs kaNovemba 2022
Futhi uGurman usanda kuqinisekisa ukuthi «isikhathi«. Sekungunyaka kusukela lapho, futhi iprosesa le-M1 selivele likhona ezingeni lokungena le-MacBook Pro, iMac mini, iMacBook Air, ne-iMac engama-intshi angama-24. Izinhlobo zokuqala zethulwe ngoNovemba 2020, ngakho-ke kusekhona isikhathi kuze kube nguNovemba 2022 we-Apple ukuthi enze isithembiso sakhe.
Ubuye achaze kubhulogi yakhe ukuthi ama-MacBook Pros amasha anama-processor amasha we "M1X" azokhishwa ezinyangeni ezizayo, kulandelwe iMac mini entsha ephezulu. Shiya u-2022 okulindele inkampani ukuqedela ushintsho: I-iMac enkulu kune-24-intshi yamanje, futhi ekugcineni iMac Pro entsha ene I-ARM superprocessor.
Njengoba iMac Pro kuzoba ngeyokugcina ukuthuthela ku-Apple Silicon, uGurman uveza ukuthi inkampani okwamanje izobuyekeza imodeli yamanje yalowo osenomprosesa we-Intel, ikakhulukazi I-Intel Ice Lake Xeon W-3300.
