Njengoko iintatheli ze-CNET zibika, zicaphula abanolwazi, enye yeenjineli eziphambili ze-semiconductor ze-Apple ziyishiyile inkampani, nangona amabhongo ka-Apple okuyila iitshiphusi ze-iPhone aqhubeka nokukhula. UGerard Williams III, umlawuli ophezulu woyilo lweqonga, ushiye ngoFebruwari emva kweminyaka elithoba esebenzela isigebenga seCupertino.
Nangona engaziwa ngokubanzi ngaphandle kwe-Apple, uMnu Williams uye wakhokelela ekuphuhlisweni kwazo zonke ii-SoCs ze-Apple, ukusuka kwi-A7 (i-chip ye-ARM yokuqala yehlabathi ekhoyo kwi-ARM) ukuya kwi-A64X Bionic esetyenziswa kwiipilisi ze-iPad zamva nje. I-Apple ithi le nkqubo yamva nje yetshiphu yenza i-iPad ikhawuleze ngaphezu kwe-12% yeekhompyuter zobuqu zehlabathi.
Kwiminyaka yakutshanje, uxanduva lukaGerard Williams ludlulele ngaphaya kokukhokela uphuhliso lwee-CPU cores ze-Apple chips - wayenoxanduva lokubeka iibhloko kwiinkqubo zenkampani enye. Iiprosesa zeselfowuni zanamhlanje zidibanisa kwichip enye iiyunithi ezininzi ezahlukeneyo zekhompyuter (i-CPU, i-GPU, i-neuromodule, iprosesa yesiginali, njl.), iimodem, igalelo / imveliso kunye neenkqubo zokhuseleko.
Ukuhamba kwengcali enjalo yilahleko enkulu ye-Apple. Umsebenzi wakhe uya kusetyenziswa kwiiprosesa ze-Apple ezizayo ixesha elide, kuba uGerard Williams udweliswe njengombhali wamalungelo omenzi we-Apple angaphezu kwama-60. Ezinye zezi zinxulumene nolawulo lwamandla, ukucinezelwa kwememori, kunye ne-multi-core processor technologies. UMnu. Williams uyayishiya inkampani kanye njengoko i-Apple iqinisa iinzame zayo zokudala izinto ezintsha zangaphakathi kunye nokuqesha itoni yeenjineli kwihlabathi jikelele. Ngokutsho kwamahemuhemu amva nje, i-Apple isebenza kwi-accelerator yayo ye-graphics, i-modem ye-5G yeselula kunye neeyunithi zokulawula amandla.
Ngo-2010, i-Apple yazisa i-chip yayo yokuqala yobunikazi ngendlela ye-A4. Ukusukela ngoko, inkampani ikhuphe iiprosesa ezintsha ze-A-series zezixhobo zayo eziphathwayo minyaka le, kwaye kuthiwa iceba ukusebenzisa iitshiphusi zayo kwiikhompyuter zeMac ukuqala ngo-2020. Isigqibo sika-Apple sokuphuhlisa iiprosesa zoqobo zasinika ulawulo oluthe kratya kwizixhobo zayo kwaye sayivumela ukuba yahlule kubakhuphisani bayo.
Kangangeminyaka, inkampani yenza iitshiphusi zayo kuphela ze-iPhone kunye ne-iPad, kodwa kutsha nje ibithatha amanyathelo okwenza izinto ezingakumbi nangakumbi endlwini. Umzekelo, inkampani iphuhlise eyakhe i-chip yeBluetooth enika amandla i-headset ye-AirPods engenazingcingo, kunye neetshiphusi zokhuseleko ezigcina iminwe kunye nenye idatha kwiiMacBooks.
UGerard Williams akayiyo injineli yokuqala edumileyo ye-Apple ukushiya ishishini letshiphu elikhokelwa nguJohny Srouji. Umzekelo, kwiminyaka emibini edlulileyo, umakhi we-Apple SoC uManu Gulati wahamba, kunye nezinye iinjineli, kwindawo efanayo kuGoogle. Emva kokuba uGulati eshiye i-Apple, uWilliams wathatha indima yokongamela ngokubanzi i-SoC Architecture. Ngaphambi kokujoyina i-Apple ngo-2010, uWilliams wasebenza iminyaka eyi-12 e-ARM, inkampani eyilo layo lisetyenziswa phantse kuzo zonke iiprosesa zeselula. Akakahambi kuyo nayiphi na inkampani entsha.
