Ondrej Holzman Haddii aad tahay alaab-qeybiyaha qayb muhiim ah oo iPhones ah oo iibiya tobanaan milyan rubuc kasta, waxaad hubin kartaa inaad si fiican wax u qaban doonto. Laakin marka Apple joojiso xiisaha ay kuu hayso, dhibaato ayaa kaa haysata. Soo saaraha chip-ga-garaafyada Imagination Technologies waxay ku kacday khibrad noocaas ah qiyaastii nus bilyan doolar. Qiimaha shirkadu aad ayuu hoos ugu dhacay ka dib markii hoos u dhac weyn uu ku yimid saamiyada.
Imagination Technologies ee war-saxaafadeed Isniintii ayay qoreen, in Apple ay u sheegtay inay joojinayso iibsashada GPU-yadooda alaabadooda, sida iPhones, iPads, TV-yada, Watch iyo iPod-yada, "gudahood 15 ilaa 24 bilood." Isla mar ahaantaana, Apple waxay sanado badan ka soo iibsanaysay soo-saareyaal garaafyada shirkadda Ingiriiska, markaa isbeddelkan istaraatiijiyadeed waa mid aad u muhiim ah.
Ka dib oo dhan, tan waxaa caddaynaya hoos u dhaca weyn ee horay loo sheegay ee qiimaha saamiyada, taas oo muujinaysa farqiga u yahay marka aad ka ganacsaneyso Apple iyo marka aadan samayn. Taasna dhanka Tiknoolajiyada Imagination-ka, kooxda California waxay runtii ahayd macmiil muhiim ah, maadaama ay bixisay qiyaastii kala badh dakhligooda. Mustaqbalka soo saaraha Ingiriisida GPU sidaas darteed waxaa laga yaabaa inaan la hubin.
Chip shanaad ee Apple
Qorshaha Apple ee ah in uu bilaabo naqshadeynta GPU-ga ka dib CPU ma aha mid aad u la yaab leh, si kastaba ha ahaatee. Dhinaca kale, waxay ku habboon tahay istaraatiijiyadda Apple si loo xakameeyo horumarinta iyo ugu dambeyntii soo saarista boqolkiiba ugu badan ee suurtogalka ah ee qaybaha iPhones iyo alaabooyinka kale, iyo dhinaca kale, sannadihii la soo dhaafay, waxay soo ururisay mid ka mid ah kuwa ugu ixtiraamka badan " kooxaha silicon", kuwaas oo ay si degdeg ah u shaqaaleysiisey khabiiro soosaarayaasha sawirada sidoo kale.
Ku socota kooxda chip-samaynta Apple, kuwaas oo oo uu hogaaminayo John Srouji, dhowr maareeyayaal iyo injineero muhiim ah ayaa ka yimid Imagination Technologies bilihii dhawaa, xitaa waxaa jiray warar la isla dhexmarayay oo ku saabsan in Apple ay iibsan doonto shirkadda Ingiriiska oo dhan. Waxa uu ka tanaasulay qorshahan wakhtiga, laakiin marka la eego hoos u dhaca weyn ee saamiyada, waxaa suurtogal ah in maamulka Apple uu ku soo laabto fikradan.
Ka dib A-taxane, S-taxane (Watch), taxane T-taxane ah (Touch Bar with Touch ID) iyo W-taxane (AirPods) chips, Apple hadda waxay ku dhowdahay inay gasho aagga "silicon" ee xiga hadafkeeduna si cad ayuu u socdaa. la mid noqo guusha CPU-yada marka, tusaale ahaan, Fusion-kii ugu dambeeyay ee A10 uu ka fog yahay tartanka. Chips-ka ay Google ama Samsung geliso telefoonadooda inta badan xitaa ma qiyaasi karaan xitaa chip-ka A9 ee ka weyn 2015.
Tartanka ka digtoonow
Si kastaba ha ahaatee, horumarinta processor-ka garaafyada ayaa ka mid ah kuwa ugu dhibka badan dhammaan chips-yada, markaa waxay noqon doontaa mid aad u xiiso badan in la arko sida Apple ula macaamilo caqabadan. Xitaa iyada oo la tixgelinayo inay tahay inay soo bandhigto GPUgeeda laba sano gudahood ugu dambeyntii, sida laga soo xigtay Teknolojiyadda Imagination. Tusaale ahaan, John Metcalfe, oo u shaqeynayay shirkad British ah shan iyo toban sano, oo uu ugu dambeeyay agaasimaha hawlaha, oo ka shaqeynayay Cupertino tan iyo bishii Luulyo ee la soo dhaafay, ayaa gacan ka geysanaya horumarinta.
Intaa waxaa dheer, dhibaatadu waxay soo bixi kartaa ma aha oo kaliya horumarinta sida, laakiin gaar ahaan xaqiiqda ah in inta badan shatiyada muhiimka ah ee goobta naqshadeeyayaasha sawirada horayba loo burburiyay iyo Apple waxay u baahan doontaa inay hubiso xuquuqda hantida aqooneed. Tani waa sidoo kale sababta ay tahay inuu u tixgeliyo iibsashada Imagination Technologies, taasina waa sababta falanqeeyayaasha aysan gebi ahaanba meesha ka saarin tallaabadan mustaqbalka. Marka la helo, Apple waxay xaqiijin doontaa wax kasta oo muhiim ah oo ay u baahan tahay si ay u sii deyso GPUgeeda.
Haddii ugu dambeyntii Apple aysan dhab ahaantii xiiseyneynin Teknolojiyadda Imagination, Ingiriisku ma rabaan inay iska daayaan dagaal la'aan waxayna rajeynayaan inay ugu yaraan ka soo ururin karaan royalties Apple si ay u helaan tignoolajiyada ay haystaan, xitaa haddii ay tahay inay tagaan maxkamad. "Male-awaalku wuxuu rumaysan yahay inay aad u adag tahay in la naqshadeeyo naqshad cusub oo GPU ah oo laga soo bilaabo dhulka iyada oo aan lagu xadgudbin hantideeda garaadka," shirkaddu waxay tiri. Tusaale ahaan, heshiiska shatiga ee ARM wuxuu u muuqdaa mid kale oo ikhtiyaar u ah Apple.
Lahaanshaha GPU sida furaha mustaqbalka
Si kastaba ha noqotee, waxa ugu dambeyntii noqon doona midka ugu muhiimsan ee la xiriira GPU-da laftiisa waa sababta ay Apple u sameyneyso. "In kasta oo dusha sare ay ku saabsan tahay taleefannada, xaqiiqda ah in (Male-awaal) Apple ay ka tagayso waxay la macno tahay in mala-awaalku uu ka baxsan doono wax kasta oo Apple ay horay u sii socoto," ayuu u sheegay. Financial Times Analyst Ben Bajarin oo ka socda Xeeladaha Hal-abuurka.
"GPU waa furaha oo ah qaybta ugu muhiimsan ee dhammaan waxyaabaha xiisaha leh ee ay rabaan inay mustaqbalka sameeyaan," Bajarin ayaa ku daray, isaga oo tixraacaya waxyaabaha ay ka midka yihiin sirdoonka macmal, aqoonsiga wejiga, baabuurta madaxbannaan, laakiin sidoo kale la kordhiyay iyo xaqiiqda dhabta ah.
Soo-saareyaasha garaafyada ayaa aad ugu habboon hawlo shaqsiyeed iyo hawlo kheyraad badan leh, si ka duwan kuwa guud ahaan diiradda la saaray CPU-yada, waana sababta ay injineeradu u adeegsadaan, tusaale ahaan, marka ay la shaqeynayaan sirdoonka macmal. Apple, iyada u gaar ah, oo awood badan oo karti leh oo karti leh GPU waxay siin kartaa xitaa fursado badan oo lagu farsameeyo xogta si toos ah qalabka, maadaama soo saaraha iPhone uu isku dayayo inuu ka shaqeeyo xogta ugu yar ee suurtogalka ah ee daruuraha si loo helo ammaan weyn.
Mustaqbalka, GPU u gaar ah ayaa si la fahmi karo u matali kara faa'iidooyinka meelaha aan kor ku soo sheegnay ee xaqiiqada dhabta ah ee la kordhiyey iyo tan dhabta ah, taas oo Apple ay horeyba u gelineysay lacag aad u badan.
Apple waa ugu dhakhsaha badan "iibsadaan hoos qiimaha". Ps: maareeyayaashu ma samayn doonaan jajabka.
