Philip Houska "Kana iyo nyaya yakapihwa isingapesane nemitemo yefizikisi, zvinoreva kuti yakaoma, asi inogoneka," chirevo chemumwe wemamaneja akakosha eApple, izvo, zvisinei, hazvitaurwe nezvakawanda. Johny Srouji, uyo ari kuseri kwekuvandudzwa kwemachipisi ake uye anga ari nhengo yeApple's top management kubva muna Zvita wapfuura, ndiye munhu anogadzira maPhones neiPads ave nemamwe emhando yepamusoro processors munyika.
Johny Srouji, anobva kuIsrael, ndiye mutevedzeri wemutungamiri weApple wetekinoroji yehardware, uye chaanonyanyotarisa ndechekugadzira iye nechikwata chake maPhones, iPads, uye ikozvino zvakare yeWatch neApple TV. Zvechokwadi haasi mutsva kumunda, sezvinoratidzwa nekuvapo kwake kuIntel, kwaakananga muna 1993, achisiya IBM (kwaakazodzokera zvakare muna 2005), kwaakashanda pamasisitimu akaiswa. PaIntel, kana kuti panzvimbo yerabhoritari yekambani muguta rekumusha kwake reHaifa, aitarisira kugadzira nzira dzakaedza simba remhando dze semiconductor vachishandisa mamwe mafanidzo.
Srouji akabatana neApple zviri pamutemo muna 2008, asi isu tinofanirwa kutarisa zvishoma munhoroondo. Chinokosha chaiva kuiswa kwekutanga kwe iPhone muna 2007. Mutungamiriri wenguva iyoyo Steve Jobs aiziva kuti chizvarwa chekutanga chaiva ne "nhunzi" dzakawanda, dzakawanda dzadzo nekuda kwepurogiramu isina simba uye kuungana kwezvikamu kubva kune vatengesi vakasiyana.
"Steve akasvika pamhedziso yekuti nzira chete yekugadzira yakasarudzika uye yakakura mudziyo yaive yekugadzira yake silicon semiconductor," Srouji akadaro muhurukuro na. Bloomberg. Yakanga iri nguva iyo Srouji zvishoma nezvishoma akauya panzvimbo. Bob Mansfield, mukuru wezvinhu zvese panguva iyoyo, akaona muIsraeri ane tarenda uye akamuvimbisa mukana wekugadzira chigadzirwa chitsva kubva pasi. Achinzwa izvi, Srouji akabva IBM.
Chikwata cheinjiniya chakapinda Srouji muna 2008 chaive nenhengo makumi mana chete paakapinda. Vamwe vashandi ve40, avo basa ravo raive kugadzirwa kwemachipisi akabatanidzwa, vakawanikwa muna Kubvumbi wegore rimwe chetero mushure mekunge Apple yatenga yekutanga inobata nemhando dzehupfumi dze semiconductor system, PA Semi. Kutorwa uku kwaive kwakakosha uye kwakaratidza kufambira mberi kunoonekwa kwe "chip" chikamu pasi pekuraira kwaSrouji. Pakati pezvimwe zvinhu, izvi zvakaratidzwa mukuwedzera kwekudyidzana pakati pemadhipatimendi akasiyana, kubva kuvagadziri vesoftware kusvika kune vanogadzira maindasitiri.
Nguva yekutanga yakakosha yeSrouji nechikwata chake yaive yekushandiswa kweiyo yakagadziridzwa ARM chip muchizvarwa chekutanga chePad uye iPhone 4 muna 2010. Chip yakanyorwa A4 yaive yekutanga kubata zvaidiwa zveRetina kuratidza, iyo iPhone 4 yaive nayo. Kubva ipapo, akati wandei e "A" machipisi anoramba achiwedzera uye zvinooneka zviri nani.
Gore ra2012 raivewo rinotyisa kubva pamaonero aya, apo Srouji, nerubatsiro rwemainjiniya ayo, akagadzira chaiwo maA5X uye A6X machipi echizvarwa chechitatu iPad. Kutenda kune yakagadziridzwa fomu yemachipi kubva kuPhones, iyo Retina inoratidzwa yakakwanisawo kupinda pamahwendefa eapuro, uye ndipo pakazotanga makwikwi kutanga kufarira mapurosesa eApple. Apple yakanyatso pukuta maziso emunhu wese gore rakatevera, muna 2013, payakaratidza 64-bit vhezheni yeA7 chip, chimwe chinhu chisina kunzwika mumafoni efoni panguva iyoyo, sezvo 32 bits yaive yakajairwa.
Kutenda kune 64-bit processor, Srouji nevamwe vake vakawana mukana wekuita mabasa akadai seTouch ID uye gare gare Apple Pay mu iPhone, uye yaivewo shanduko yakakosha kune vanogadzira vaigona kugadzira zvirinani uye zvakapfava mitambo nemashandisirwo.
Basa rechikamu cheSrouji rave rinoyemurika kubva pakutanga, nekuti nepo vakwikwidzi vazhinji vachivimba nezvinhu zvevatatu, Apple yakaona makore apfuura kuti zvingaite zvakanyanya kutanga kugadzira machipisi ayo. Ndicho chikonzero ivo vane imwe yeakanakisa uye yakanyanya kuwanda marabhoritari yekuvandudza silicon semiconductors muApple, uko kunyange vakwikwidzi vakuru, Qualcomm neIntel, vanogona kutarisa nekuyemura uye panguva imwe chete nekunetsekana.
Zvichida basa rakaoma kwazvo panguva yake muCupertino, zvisinei, rakapihwa Johny Srouji gore rapfuura. Apple yakanga yava kuda kuburitsa iyo hombe iPad Pro, yekuwedzera nyowani kune yayo piritsi mutsara, asi yakanonoka. Zvirongwa zvekuburitsa iyo iPad Pro muchirimo cha2015 zvakadonha nekuti software, hardware, uye inouya Penzura accessory yanga isati yagadzirira. Kumapoka mazhinji, izvi zvaireva nguva yakawanda yebasa ravo rePad Pro, asi kuna Srouji, zvaireva zvakapesana - timu yake yakatanga nhangemutange nenguva.
Hurongwa hwekutanga hwaive hwekuti iyo iPad Pro yaizosvika pamusika muchirimo neiyo A8X chip, yaive neiyo iPad Air 2 uye yakazove ine simba zvakanyanya mukupihwa neApple. Asi apo kuburitswa kwacho kwakaenda kumatsutso, iyo iPad Pro yakasangana padanho rekutanga nemaPhones matsva uye nekudaro zvakare chizvarwa chitsva chema processor. Uye iro rakanga riri dambudziko, nekuti panguva iyoyo Apple yaisakwanisa kuunza gore rekare processor kune yayo hombe iPad, iyo yainanga kune yekambani sphere uye inoda vashandisi.
Muhafu yegore chete - mune imwe nguva-yakakosha modhi - mainjiniya ari pasi pehutungamiriri hwaSrouji vakagadzira iyo A9X processor, nekuda kwavakakwanisa kukwana 5,6 miriyoni pixels muinenge gumi nenhatu-inch skrini yePad Pro. Nekuda kwekuedza kwake uye kutsunga, Johny Srouji akapiwa mubairo wakanyanya Zvita wapfuura. Muchinzvimbo chemutevedzeri wemutungamiri wehardware tekinoroji, akasvika manejimendi epamusoro eApple uye panguva imwe cheteyo akawana migove yekambani 90 70. Kune yanhasi Apple, iyo mari yayo ingangoita makumi manomwe muzana kubva kuPhones, ndiko kugona kwaSrouji kwakakosha.
