Monga atolankhani a CNET amanenera, potchula omwe adawadziwitsa, m'modzi mwa akatswiri opanga ma semiconductor a Apple wasiya kampaniyo, ngakhale zilakolako za Apple zopanga tchipisi ta iPhone zikupitilizabe kukula. Gerard Williams III, mkulu wamkulu wa zomangamanga nsanja, adachoka mu February patatha zaka zisanu ndi zinayi akugwira ntchito ya Cupertino chimphona.
Ngakhale kuti sakudziwika kwambiri kunja kwa Apple, Bambo Williams atsogolera chitukuko cha ma SoC onse a Apple, kuchokera ku A7 (chipwirikiti choyamba cha 64-bit ARM padziko lonse lapansi) kufika pa A12X Bionic yomwe imagwiritsidwa ntchito pamapiritsi aposachedwa a Apple iPad. Apple imati pulogalamu yaposachedwa ya single-chip imapangitsa iPad kukhala yofulumira kuposa 92% yamakompyuta apadziko lonse lapansi.
M'zaka zaposachedwa, maudindo a Gerard Williams adapitilira kutsogolera chitukuko cha ma CPU cores a Apple chips - anali ndi udindo woyika midadada pamakina akampani imodzi. Ma processor amakono amaphatikiza pa chip chimodzi mayunitsi osiyanasiyana apakompyuta (CPU, GPU, neuromodule, processor processor, etc.), modemu, zolowetsa / zotulutsa ndi chitetezo.
Kuchoka kwa katswiri wotere ndikutaya kwakukulu kwa Apple. Ntchito yake iyenera kugwiritsidwa ntchito mtsogolo mapurosesa a Apple kwa nthawi yayitali, chifukwa Gerard Williams adalembedwa ngati mlembi wa ma patent opitilira 60 a Apple. Zina mwa izi zimakhudzana ndi kasamalidwe ka mphamvu, kukakamira kukumbukira, ndi matekinoloje amitundu yambiri. A Williams akusiya kampaniyo pomwe Apple ikuyesetsa kupanga zida zatsopano zapanyumba ndikulemba matani a mainjiniya padziko lonse lapansi. Malinga ndi mphekesera zaposachedwa, Apple ikugwira ntchito payokha ma graphic accelerators, 5G ma modemu am'manja ndi magawo oyang'anira mphamvu.
Mu 2010, Apple idayambitsa chip chake choyamba chamtundu wa A4. Kuyambira pamenepo, kampaniyo yatulutsa mapurosesa atsopano a A-series pazida zake zam'manja chaka chilichonse, ndipo akuti ikukonzekera kugwiritsa ntchito tchipisi tawo pamakompyuta a Mac kuyambira 2020. Lingaliro la Apple lopanga mapurosesa oyamba adapatsa mphamvu zambiri pazida zake komanso adalola kuti izidzisiyanitsa ndi omwe akupikisana nawo.
Kwa zaka zambiri, kampaniyo idapanga tchipisi take tokha za iPhone ndi iPad, koma posachedwa yakhala ikuchitapo kanthu kuti ipange zida zochulukira mnyumba. Mwachitsanzo, kampaniyo idapanga chip yakeyake ya Bluetooth yomwe imathandizira mahedifoni opanda zingwe a AirPods, komanso tchipisi tachitetezo zomwe zimasunga zala ndi zina mu MacBooks.
Gerard Williams si injiniya woyamba wotchuka wa Apple kusiya bizinesi ya chip yotsogozedwa ndi Johny Srouji. Mwachitsanzo, zaka ziwiri zapitazo, womanga mapulani a Apple SoC, Manu Gulati, adasuntha, pamodzi ndi mainjiniya ena, kupita kumalo ofanana ku Google. Gulati atachoka ku Apple, Williams adatenga udindo woyang'anira kamangidwe ka SoC. Asanalowe ku Apple mu 2010, Williams adagwira ntchito kwa zaka 12 ku ARM, kampani yomwe mapangidwe ake amagwiritsidwa ntchito pafupifupi mapurosesa onse am'manja. Sanasamukebe kukampani ina iliyonse yatsopano.
