Sekutaura kwevatapi venhau veCNET, vachidudza vavanozivisa, mumwe weApple akakosha semiconductor mainjiniya asiya kambani, kunyangwe zvishuwo zveApple zvekugadzira machipisi eiyo iPhone zvichiramba zvichikura. Gerard Williams III, mukuru director wepuratifomu architecture, akasiya muna Kukadzi mushure memakore mapfumbamwe achishandira hofori yeCupertino.
Kunyangwe zvisingazivikanwe zvakanyanya kunze kweApple, Mr. Williams vakatungamira kuvandudzwa kwese Apple's proprietary SoCs, kubva kuA7 (yekutanga pasirese inotengeswa 64-bit ARM chip) kuenda kuA12X Bionic inoshandiswa muApple ichangoburwa iPad Pro mahwendefa. Apple inoti iyi yazvino single-chip system inoita iPad nekukurumidza kupfuura 92% yemakomputa epasirese epasi.
Mumakore achangopfuura, mabasa aGerard Williams akadarika kutungamira kuvandudzwa kweCPU cores yeApple chips - aive nebasa rekuisa zvivharo pane imwe kambani-chip masisitimu. Mazuva ano mafoni processors anosanganisa pane imwe chip akawanda akasiyana makomputa mayunitsi (CPU, GPU, neuromodule, chiratidzo processor, nezvimwewo), modem, yekuisa / kubuda uye kuchengetedza masisitimu.
Kuenda kwenyanzvi yakadaro kurasikirwa kwakakomba kweApple. Basa rake rinogona kushandiswa mune ramangwana reApple processors kwenguva yakareba, nekuti Gerard Williams akanyorwa semunyori weanopfuura makumi matanhatu Apple patents. Zvimwe zveizvi zvine chekuita nekutonga kwesimba, ndangariro compression, uye akawanda-core processor matekinoroji. VaWilliams vari kusiya kambani iyi apo Apple iri kuwedzera kuedza kwayo kugadzira zvinhu zvitsva zvemukati uye kuhaya matani einjiniya pasi rose. Zvinoenderana nerunyerekupe rwazvino, Apple iri kushanda pane yayo yega giraidhi accelerators, 60G cellular modem uye masimba ekugadzirisa masimba.
Muna 2010, Apple yakaunza chip yayo yekutanga muchimiro cheA4. Kubva ipapo, kambani yakaburitsa maA-series processors emidziyo yayo yenhare gore rega rega, uye iri kutoronga kushandisa machipisi ayo mumakomputa eMac kutanga muna 2020. Sarudzo yeApple yekugadzira ma processors ekutanga yakapa iyo yakawanda kutonga pamusoro pemidziyo yayo uye zvakare yakabvumira kuti zvisiyanise kubva kune vakwikwidzi vayo.
Kwemakore, kambani yakagadzira machipisi ayo chete eiyo iPhone nePadad, asi nguva pfupi yadarika yanga ichitora matanho ekugadzira zvimwe zvinhu mukati meimba. Semuenzaniso, kambani yakagadzira yayo Bluetooth chip inopa simba AirPods isina waya headset, pamwe nekuchengetedza machipisi anochengeta zvigunwe uye imwe data muMacBooks.
Gerard Williams haasi wekutanga ane mukurumbira Apple mainjiniya kusiya tsika chip bhizinesi inotungamirwa naJohny Srouji. Semuenzaniso, makore maviri apfuura, mugadziri weApple SoC, Manu Gulati, akatama, pamwe chete nevamwe mainjiniya, kuenda kunzvimbo yakafanana paGoogle. Mushure mekunge Gulati asiya Apple, Williams akatora chinzvimbo chekutarisa kwakazara kweiyo SoC architecture. Asati ajoinha Apple muna 2010, Williams akashanda kwemakore gumi nemaviri kuARM, kambani ine magadzirirwo ayo anoshandiswa mune angangoita ese mafoni processor. Haasati atamira kune chero kambani itsva.
