Kungekudala u-Apple wabhengeza ukuba iyayeka ukusebenzisa i-x86-64-based Intel chips ukutshintshela ekusebenziseni Iichips zeARM. Oko bakubize ngokuba yiApple Silicon, ezingezizo iichips ezineeAR ze-IP cores, kodwa ziya kuba ziibhola ezisekwe kwi-ISA ARM, kodwa eyilwe yiApple uqobo.
Wakho Linus Torvalds Uthe kuya kuba mnandi ukuba noomatshini be-ARM abanamandla bokukhulisa, ukuze ukwazi ukuqokelela kubo ngaphandle kokusebenzisa ukudityaniswa kolu lwakhiwo. Kodwa ngaphandle kwayo yonke le nto, kuya kufuneka uyazi ukuba sele zikhona iikhompyuter ezinala machips ngaphesheya kweRaspberry Pi. Umzekelo, iPinebook Pro ARM, esele i-odolwe (uku-oda kwangaphambili) kwe- $ 199 ngeLinux.
Ezi laptops zine-14.1 ″ IPS LCD FullHD screen, Dual-Core ARM 1.8Ghz Cortex-A72 64-bit chip, kunye neQuad-Core Cortex-A53 1.4Ghz, kunye nee-MALI T-860 cores zayo ze-GPU, 4GB LPDDR4 RAM , I-64 GB eMMC 5.0 yokugcina kunye nenkqubo yokusebenza GNU / Linux. Ewe, ilaptop iya kuba ne-WiFi, iBluetooth 5.0, i-USB 3.0 (A kunye no-C), indawo encinci ye-MicroSD kunye ne-jack audio ...
Kulungile, kodwa ndiyaphi nayo yonke le nto? Ewe, ilula kakhulu. Njengakwicandelo leeseva kunye ne-HPC eqala ukubona ubukho be-ARM ngakumbi nangakumbi, uya kuyazi loo nto Elona qela linamandla kwi-Top500 Isekwe kwi-ARM, kunokwenzeka ukuba into efanayo yenzeke kancinci kancinci kwicandelo le-PC, ngakumbi nangakumbi ngamaza aqaliswe ngu-Apple ngokuqinisekileyo uninzi luya kuthatha ithuba "lokutyhala". Njengoko kwenzeke nge-iPods kunye nenani labadlali be-mp3 abavela kwezinye iimveliso basebenzise ithuba lokufumana umkhuhlane kwezi zixhobo ...
I-ARM ayinayo kuphela ezintle icacile ngokubhekisele ekusebenzeni kwamandla (ukusetyenziswa kubalulekile kokubini kokusingqongileyo kunye nokwandisa ukuzimela kweebhetri), ikwindawo encinci kakhulu kumhlaba wesilicon, ukwenzela ukuba ii-cores ezingaphezulu kwindawo nganye zinokuphunyezwa kunezinye izakhiwo ezifana x86. Oko kunokuba yinto efanelekileyo ngoku ukuba ngalo lonke ixesha sisondele kumda wesilicon, ukunciphisa iindleko ngezivuno ezinencasa. Ke ngoko, i-ARM akufuneki ijongelwe phantsi kwixesha eliphakathi kwi-PC, kananjalo i-RISC-V, elandela ekhondweni layo, nangona isenakho ukukhula okuthe kratya).
Ii-Chromebook ezinee-ARMs kudala zikho.
Ngaphandle kwempumelelo enkulu eMelika kunye nokunyaniseka okuhle okuvela kubasebenzisi bayo (ukuphinda) kwezinye iimarike, uGoogle kunye namaqabane akhe bagqibe kwelokuba banganyanzelisi kwesi sibonelelo.
Kutshanje uHuawei ukhuphe i-PC ye-ARM ye-desktop ene-UOS (Chinese Lignux esekwe kwi-Deepin) ethi, kuba ayithengiswa eNtshona, khange ihlawulwe kakhulu, kodwa kubonakala ngathi izakuxhobisa urhulumente wase-China, ayimbalwa intengiso ethe ngqo nengathanga ngqo.
Kodwa iApple, phantse ihlala ingayivelisi umpu, nangona ngokuqinisekileyo i-SoC yayo iya kuba yeyona inamandla xa ii-PC zayo ze-ARM ziphuma kwaye kungekudala i-Samsung, eyenza i-adreno (isifinyezo segama elithi radeon) navi kwiifowuni eziphathwayo ziya kukhupha ezinamandla ngakumbi, kuba umhlaba unje (okanye mhlawumbi andiyiyo ipython).
Ndisakhumbula ii-2000s zakuqala, xa uSteve Jobs wathi iMacintoshes "inokukhaba nayiphi na iesile lePC," kwaye umkhosi wama-fanboys wabonisa amandla abo ekucwangcisweni kweprosesa ye-PowerPC, kwaye i-Intel yayilutshaba. Ngo-2005 bekukho ngaphezulu kwesinye abaphantse bakhala notshintsho kwiiprosesa ze-Intel, beqikelela ukuba iya kuba sisiphelo seMacs, kwaye ngoku banokufakwa nakweyiphi na iPC. Ndlela-ntle kolo lwazi lodwa.
Ekuphela kwento eyenzekileyo kukuba iApple yayithengisa iilaptops, ezinamandla afanayo okulungisa, zibiza kabini okanye kathathu xa kuthelekiswa nezinye iimveliso. Kuza kwenzeka ntoni ngoku? Ngaba abalandeli be-fanboys baya kuphinda basondele kwi-Intel kwaye baphinde amandla e-mac ahlala kwiiprosesa zayo 'ezizodwa'?
