Ondrej Holzman Kana iwe uri mutengesi wechinhu chakakosha chePhones inotengesa makumi emamiriyoni kota yega yega, unogona kuve nechokwadi chekuti uchaita zvakanaka. Asi kana Apple yangomira kufarira iwe, une dambudziko. Iyo graphics chip inogadzira Imagination Technologies inodhura chaizvo chiitiko chakadaro chingangoita hafu yebhirioni yemadhora. Kukosha kwekambani kwakadonha zvakanyanya mushure mekudonha kwakanyanya kwemasheya.
Imagination Technologies mune kuburitswa kweMuvhuro vakanyora, iyo Apple yakavaudza kuti icharega kutenga maGPUs ezvigadzirwa zvayo, zvinoti iPhones, iPads, TVs, Watch uye iPods, "mukati memwedzi gumi nemashanu kusvika ku15." Panguva imwecheteyo, Apple yanga ichitenga magiraidhi processors kubva kuBritish kambani kwemakore mazhinji, saka shanduko iyi muhurongwa yakakosha.
Mushure mezvose, izvi zvinoratidzwa neyakatotaurwa kudonha kukuru mumutengo wekugovana, izvo zvinoratidza kuti mutsauko ndeupi paunotengesa neApple uye kana usingaite. Uye iyo yeImagination Technologies, hofori yeCalifornia yaive zvechokwadi mutengi akakosha, sezvo yaipa ingangoita hafu yemari yavo. Remangwana reBritish GPU mugadziri anogona kunge asina chokwadi.
Apple yechishanu chip
Hurongwa hweApple hwekutanga kugadzira yayo yega GPU mushure meCPU hazvishamise zvakadaro. Kune rimwe divi, inokodzera zano reApple rekudzora budiriro uye pakupedzisira kugadzirwa kweiyo yakakura kwazvo muzana yezvikamu muPhones nezvimwe zvigadzirwa, uye kune rimwe divi, mumakore achangopfuura, yakaunganidza imwe yeanoremekedzwa zvikuru " silicon" zvikwata, izvo zvayakahaya zvakanyanya nyanzvi dzemagraphic processors zvakare.
Kuchikwata cheApple chekugadzira chip, icho inotungamirwa naJohn Srouji, mamaneja akati wandei nemainjiniya vakabva kuImagination Technologies mumwedzi ichangopfuura, uye pakanga paine fungidziro yekuti Apple yaizotenga kambani yese yeBritish. Akasiya chirongwa ichi kwenguva iripo, asi akapihwa kudonha kwakakosha kwezvikamu, zvinogoneka kuti manejimendi eApple adzokere kune iyi pfungwa.
Mushure meA-series, S-series (Watch), T-series (Bata Bar neTouch ID) uye W-series (AirPods) machipisi, Apple yave kuda kupinda munzvimbo inotevera ye "silicon" uye chinangwa chayo chichaita zvakajeka. kuve kubudirira kwakafanana kune yayo maCPU apo, semuenzaniso, yazvino A10 Fusion iri kure nemakwikwi. Iwo machipi anoiswa neGoogle kana Samsung mumafoni avo kazhinji haakwanise kana kuenzana neyakatokura A9 chip kubva 2015.
Makwikwi chenjera
Nekudaro, kuvandudzwa kweiyo graphics processor iri pakati peakaomesesa ese machipisi, saka zvichave zvinonakidza kuona kuti Apple inobata sei dambudziko iri. Kunyangwe tichifunga kuti inofanira kuunza GPU yayo mukati memakore maviri panguva ichangoburwa, maererano neImagination Technologies. Semuenzaniso, John Metcalfe, akashanda kukambani yeBritish kwemakore gumi nemashanu, nguva pfupi yapfuura semutungamiri wekushanda, uye anga achishanda muCupertino kubva munaJuly apfuura, ari kubatsira nekusimudzira.
Pamusoro pezvo, dambudziko rinogona kumuka kwete chete nekusimudzira kwakadai, asi kunyanya nenyaya yekuti akawanda ematendi akakosha mumunda weiyo graphics processors akatobviswa, uye Apple ichada kuchengetedza kodzero dzepfuma. Ichi ndicho chikonzero nei aifanira kufunga kutenga Imagination Technologies, ndosaka vaongorori vasingarambidze zvachose kutama uku mune ramangwana. Nekutora, Apple yaizochengetedza zvese zvakakosha zvayaizoda kuburitsa yayo GPU.
Kana pakupedzisira Apple isingafarire Imagination Technologies, maBritish haadi kukanda mapfumo pasi pasina kurwa uye vanotarisira kuti vanogona kuunganidza mari kubva kuApple kune avo vane patent matekinoroji, kunyangwe kana vachifanira kuenda kumatare. "Imagination inotenda kuti zvingave zvakaoma kugadzira chivakwa chitsva cheGPU kubva pasi pasina kukanganisa hunyanzvi hwayo," kambani yakadaro. Semuenzaniso, chibvumirano cherezinesi neARM chinoita senge imwe sarudzo yeApple.
Yako GPU sekiyi yeramangwana
Nekudaro, izvo zvinozonyanya kukosha zvine chekuita neGPU pachayo ndicho chikonzero nei Apple iri kuzviita. "Pamusoro pese zviri zvemafoni, chokwadi chekuti (Imagination) Apple iri kuvasiya zvinoreva kuti Kufungidzira kunenge kuri kunze kwechero chinhu chinoitwa neApple kuenda kumberi," akadaro. Financial Times muongorori Ben Bajarin kubva Maitiro Ekugadzira.
"GPU ndiyo yakakosha sechikamu chakakosha pazvinhu zvese zvinonakidza zvavanoda kuita mune ramangwana," Bajarin akawedzera, achitaura nezvezvinhu zvakaita sehungwaru hwekugadzira, kuzivikanwa kwechiso, mota dzinozvimiririra, asiwo dzakawedzerwa uye chokwadi chaicho.
Graphics processors akakodzera kune ega uye anonyanya kushandisa zviwanikwa mabasa, mukupesana neakanyanya kutariswa maCPU, ndosaka mainjiniya anoashandisa, semuenzaniso, pakushanda nehungwaru hwekugadzira. Kune Apple, yayo, inogona kuwedzera simba uye inoshanda GPU inogona kupa yakatokura mikana yekugadzirisa data zvakananga pamidziyo, sezvo mugadziri we iPhone anoyedza kugadzirisa data shoma sezvinobvira mugore kuitira kuchengetedzwa kwakanyanya.
Mune ramangwana, iyo yega GPU inogona kumiririra zvakanakira munzvimbo dzambotaurwa dzekuwedzera uye chaiko kwechokwadi, umo Apple iri kutoisa mari yakawanda.
Apple ichakurumidza "kutenga pasi pemutengo". Ps: vatungamiri havazogadziri chip.
