Engxenyeni yesithathu yalo nyaka, i-Intel U-$19,2 billion, okuvumele ukuthi imemezele isibuyekezo serekhodi lomlando, futhi ngesikhathi esifanayo ivume ukuthi imizamo okuhloswe ngayo ukuqhela engxenyeni yezinhlelo zamaklayenti isiqala ukuthela izithelo. Okungenani, uma imali eyizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-9,7 yemali engenayo yenziwe kusukela ekusetshenzisweni kwezixazululo zamakhasimende, khona-ke endaweni yebhizinisi "ezungeze idatha" imali engenayo ifinyelele ku-$ 9,5 billion.I-Intel ithi manje ithola cishe ingxenye yemali engenayo yonke ezindaweni zebhizinisi ezithembisayo. Lokhu kubaluleke kakhulu uma kucatshangelwa ukuthi engxenyeni yamakhasimende, imali engenayo yehle ngo-5%, futhi kuzo zonke izingxenye "ezithembisayo" inyuke ngo-2% kuya ku-20%.
Imajini yenzuzo yokusebenza yonyaka yehle isuka kumaphesenti angama-40 yaya kumaphesenti angama-36, yathintwa kabi amanani enkumbulo kanye nezindleko zokukhiqiza ezikhulayo. Kodwa-ke, umuntu akufanele acabange ukuthi ukwandisa nje umthamo wokukhiqiza iprosesa ngo-25% kuphoqe i-Intel ukuthi inyuse izindleko. Eqinisweni, kunikezwa izimali ezibalulekile zokwandisa umthamo wokukhiqiza wemikhiqizo ye-Intel ye-10nm. Isikhulu esiphezulu uRobert Swan waze wabona ukuthi kungenzeka ukusho ukuthi isikhathi semikhiqizo ye-10nm sesivele sifikile.
I-Intel isivele inamasampula asebenzayo ehluzo eziyi-10nm discrete
Ukukhiqizwa kwe-serial kwemikhiqizo ye-10-nm kwenziwa ngamabhizinisi kwa-Israyeli nase-Oregon, futhi isitshalo e-Arizona sizobajoyina maduze. Izinga lesivuno lemikhiqizo efanelekile liyathuthuka ngesivinini esisheshayo. Ngonyaka ozayo, i-Intel futhi ihlela ukukhipha ama-processor angu-25% ngaphezulu, ikakhulukazi icabangela imikhiqizo engu-10nm. Ngekota yesithathu, ukukhiqizwa kukamatikuletsheni we-Agilex we-10nm okuhlelekayo kwaqala. Ngo-2020, ubuchwepheshe be-10nm buzoqala ukukhiqiza ama-accelerator esistimu yobuhlakani bokwenziwa, izingxenye zeziteshi eziyisisekelo ze-5G zomndeni we-Snow Ridge, ama-Xeon processors weseva nemishini yezokuxhumana, kanye nephrosesa yehluzo esobala. Inhloko ye-Intel yaze yaqamba uphawu lwayo - i-DG1, yabe yengeza ngokuthi kwikota edlule inkampani isivele inawo amasampula asebenzayo.
Nakulokhu, i-CEO ye-Intel yenza izitatimende mayelana nezinhloso zenhlangano zokuthola kabusha ubuholi bezobuchwepheshe emkhakheni we-lithography. Umsebenzi usuqalile ukuthuthukisa ubuchwepheshe benqubo ye-5nm, nakuba uRobert Swan enqaba ukuchaza isikhathi sokuvela kwemikhiqizo yokuqala ye-5nm. Kepha manje ukhuluma ngokusobala ngezinhloso ze-Intel zokwethula iphrosesa yehluzo eyi-2021nm yengxenye yeseva engxenyeni yesine ka-7. Ngokokucabanga kwakhe, isimiso esinjalo sesimemezelo sivumela i-Intel ukuthi ifune ukuthi izophinde idlulele esigabeni esilandelayo se-lithography njalo eminyakeni emibili noma emibili nengxenye.
Ngokombono wezobuchwepheshe, lapho ubamba ubuchwepheshe benqubo ye-7 nm, i-Intel izocabangela imiphumela yezifiso ezikhukhumezayo lapho ithuthela ku-10 nm, ngakho-ke izokhetha ukwenza ngokucophelela. Nokho, kungaphakathi kobuchwepheshe be-7nm lapho kuzokwethulwa khona i-ultra-hard ultraviolet (EUV) lithography. Njengoba sekuphawulwe izikhathi ezingaphezu kwesisodwa, i-Intel izokwenza lokhu kamuva kakhulu kunezimbangi zayo ezinkulu i-TSMC ne-Samsung.
Ukushoda kwamaprosesa ngeke kunqotshwe kulo nyaka
Emcimbini wokubika, abamele inkampani bakhulume okuningi futhi ngokuningiliziwe mayelana nezinyathelo ezithathwe yi-Intel ukuqeda izinkinga ngokutholakala kwama-processor angu-14-nm. Njengoba sekuphawuliwe, amanani okukhiqiza amaphrosesa anyuswe ngo-25% uma kuqhathaniswa nezinyanga eziyisishiyagalolunye zokuqala zonyaka odlule. Engxenyeni yesibili yonyaka, ukuthunyelwa kwephrosesa kwamakhasimende e-Intel kuzokhula ngamaphesenti angamadijithi amabili uma kuqhathaniswa nengxenye yokuqala, futhi ngonyaka ozayo i-Intel ilindele ukukhuphula ukuthunyelwa kwamaphrosesa amakhasimende ngo-5% noma u-9%, kuye ngezimo zemakethe. Manje abaphathi benkampani baze bavume ukuthi akunakwenzeka ukuthi isidingo sizokhula ngesivinini esifanayo ngonyaka ozayo, futhi ezinye izilinganiso zokuhlinzeka ziyadingeka kumshwalense.
Engxenyeni yesine yalo nyaka, ngeke kwenzeke ukunqoba ukushoda kwe-Intel processors, kodwa inhloko yenkampani iyaqhubeka nokusho ukuthi manje ikakhulukazi umkhakha wesabelomali wengxenye yamakhasimende ehlushwa yilokhu. Ngo-2020, i-Intel inethemba lokuqeda ngokuphelele inkulumo yokushoda emicimbini yokubika yekota, nakuba ingacacisi ukuthi yisiphi isikhathi sonyaka isimo okufanele sibe sejwayelekile ngokuphelele.
Ingcindezi yokuncintisana ekhethekile kulo nyaka U-Intel akazange ayizwe
Yebo, ochwepheshe abakhona emcimbini wokubika wekota abakwazanga ukumelana nokubuza imibuzo mayelana nesimo sokuncintisana, okufanele sibe nzima kakhulu ku-Intel njengoba kukhishwa imikhiqizo emisha ye-AMD. Bobabili i-CEO ye-Intel kanye ne-CFO abazange bathuke lapho bethi isimo sokuncintisana phakathi nezinyanga eziyisishiyagalolunye ezedlule sasihambisana nalokho okulindelwe yinhlangano. Ngamanye amazwi, kuze kube manje i-Intel ayiboni noma yiziphi izinsongo esikhundleni sayo emakethe. Obhekele ezezimali enkampanini, uGeorge Davis, wachaza ukuthi uma umonakalo omkhulu ku-Intel udalwe engxenyeni yesabelomali semakethe, khona-ke ukushoda kwamaphrosesa enkampani yikona kuphela okufanele kusolwe.
URobert Swan wayecace kakhudlwana ekuphenduleni kwakhe umbuzo ofanayo mayelana nokuncintisana. Uyavuma ukuthi i-Intel kufanele isebenze endaweni enokuncintisana kakhulu, kodwa lokhu akuvimbeli inkampani ekukhuphuleni isibikezelo semali engenayo yonyaka ngamaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-1,5 futhi ithembele ekuthuthukiseni inzuzo yokusebenza. Okuwukuphela kwento eshintshile ezinyangeni eziyisishiyagalolunye ezedlule, ngokusho kwenhloko ye-Intel, ukusebenza kwezimali kwenkampani, nokuba ngcono. Ujahe ukwengeza ukuthi i-Intel ayithathi "isimo sokunganaki" mayelana nombono wayo ka-2020 futhi uyaqonda ukuthi indawo yokuncintisana izoba yinselelo enkulu ngonyaka ozayo. I-Intel izoqhubeka nokuvikela isikhundla sayo emakethe ngawo wonke amandla ayo.
