Apple ikukonzekera kusintha kwakukulu kwa Mac. Kampaniyo idalemba ntchito katswiri pa ma processor a ARM

Apple ili ndi mapulani akuluakulu a ma processor a ARM. Ndi mphamvu zomwe tchipisi zimatha kupangidwa, pakhala kuyankhula kwanthawi yopitilira chaka kuti kwangotsala nthawi kuti tchipisi ta ARM zisasunthike kupitilira nsanja za iPad ndi iPhone. Kufika kwa tchipisi ta ARM mu Macs ena kumapereka zinthu zingapo. Kumbali imodzi, timakhala ndi magwiridwe antchito akuchulukirachulukira a tchipisi ta mafoni a ARM, komanso pulojekiti ya Catalyst, yomwe imalola opanga kuyika mapulogalamu a iOS (ARM) kupita ku macOS (x86). Ndipo pomalizira pake, pali kulemba anthu ogwira ntchito omwe ali oyenerera kusintha kumeneku.

Mmodzi mwa omaliza amtundu wake ndi wamkulu wakale wa chitukuko cha CPU ndi kamangidwe ka dongosolo ku ARM, Mike Filippo. Wagwiritsidwa ntchito ndi Apple kuyambira Meyi ndipo amapatsa kampaniyo ukadaulo wapamwamba pakupanga ndi kugwiritsa ntchito tchipisi ta ARM. Filippo ankagwira ntchito ku AMD kuchokera 1996 mpaka 2004, kumene iye anali mlengi purosesa. Kenako adasamukira ku Intel kwa zaka zisanu ngati womanga makina. Kuyambira 2009 mpaka chaka chino, adagwira ntchito ngati mutu wa chitukuko ku ARM, komwe anali kumbuyo kwa chitukuko cha tchipisi monga Cortex-A76, A72, A57 ndi tchipisi ta 7 ndi 5nm zomwe zikubwera. Chifukwa chake ali ndi chidziwitso chochuluka, ndipo ngati Apple ikukonzekera kukulitsa kutumizidwa kwa ma processor a ARM kuzinthu zochulukirapo, mwina sakanapeza munthu wabwinoko.

Ngati Apple ikwanitsa kupanga purosesa ya ARM yamphamvu mokwanira kuti ikwaniritse zosowa za macOS (ndikusintha makina ogwiritsira ntchito a macOS kuti agwiritsidwe ntchito ndi ma processor a ARM), idzamasula Apple ku mgwirizano wake ndi Intel, zomwe zakhala zosasangalatsa m'zaka zaposachedwa. Pazaka zingapo zapitazi komanso mibadwo ya mapurosesa ake, Intel yakhala yoyenda pang'onopang'ono, idakhala ndi zovuta pakuyambika kwa njira yatsopano yopangira, ndipo Apple nthawi zina amakakamizika kusintha kwambiri mapulani ake oyambitsa zida kuti zigwirizane ndi luso la Intel. kubweretsa tchipisi tatsopano. O nkhani zachitetezo (ndi zotsatira zake pakuchita) ndi mapurosesa ochokera ku Intel osatchulapo.

Malinga ndi zomwe zili kumbuyo kwazithunzi, ARM iyenera kubweretsa Mac drive yoyamba chaka chamawa. Mpaka nthawi imeneyo, pali nthawi yochuluka yothetsera vutoli ndi kugwirizanitsa mapulogalamu, kulimbitsa ndi kukulitsa pulojekiti ya Catalyst (ie port native x86 applications to ARM), ndikuwatsimikizira opanga kuti athandizire kusintha.
