Kuqinisekisiwe: I-Apple A12Z imane nje isetshenziswe kabusha i-A12X

Ngenyanga edlule, i-Apple yethule isizukulwane esisha samathebulethi e-iPad Pro, futhi okumangaze abaningi ukuthi amadivaysi amasha awazange athuthukele kwehlukile okunamandla kwe-Apple A13 SoC yakamuva. Esikhundleni salokho, i-iPad yasebenzisa i-chip i-Apple eyibiza ngokuthi i-A12Z. Leli gama likhombise ngokusobala ukuthi lalisuselwe esakhiweni esifanayo se-Vortex/Tempest njenge-A12X yangaphambilini, eyasetshenziswa ku-2018 iPad Pro.

Ukunyakaza okungajwayelekile kwe-Apple kwenze abaningi basola ukuthi i-A12Z kungenzeka ingabi yi-chip entsha, kodwa ibe yi-A12X evuliwe, futhi manje umphakathi usuthole ukuqinisekiswa kwalo mbono ngenxa ye-TechInsights. Ku-tweet kafushane, abahlaziyi bezobuchwepheshe kanye nefemu yobunjiniyela ehlehlisayo ithumele abakutholile nezithombe eziqhathanisa ne-A12Z ne-A12X. Ama-chips amabili afana ngokuphelele: wonke amabhlogo asebenzayo ku-A12Z asendaweni efanayo, futhi alingana nosayizi we-A12X.

Ukuhlaziya kwethu kuyaqinisekisa #Apple #A12Z I-GPU chip itholwe ngaphakathi #iPadPro (imodeli A2068) iyafana neyandulela i-A12X. Umbiko wokutholakele kwethu uyaqhubeka futhi uzotholakala njengengxenye ye-TechInsights' #Logic Ukubhalisa. Funda kabanzi lapha https://t.co/WWQqlPorNF pic.twitter.com/RsQEADpZsc

Ngenkathi ukuhlaziywa kwe-TechInsights kungavezi imininingwane eyengeziwe njengokunyathela kwe-chip, into eyodwa icacile: noma ngabe i-A12Z inezinyathelo ezintsha uma iqhathaniswa ne-12 A2018X, i-A12Z ayilethi lutho olusha ngombono wokuklama. Okuwukuphela koshintsho olubonakalayo phakathi kwama-chips amabili ukucushwa kwawo: kuyilapho i-A12X iza namaqoqo ayi-7 asebenzayo e-GPU, i-A12Z ihlanganisa wonke angu-8.

Futhi nakuba empeleni lolu shintsho lunganikezi inzuzo eningi, sisakhuluma ngomkhiqizo omusha owutholile ukusebenza okuphezulu kancane. I-A12X ikhiqizwa kusetshenziswa inqubo ye-TSMC ye-7nm, futhi ngesikhathi ikhishwa ngo-2018, yayingenye yama-chips amakhulu kakhulu akhiqizwa inqubo ye-7nm ethuthukisiwe. Manje, ezinyangeni ezingu-18 kamuva, izinga lokukhiqiza lamakristalu asebenzisekayo kufanele ngabe lenyuke kakhulu, ngakho isidingo sokuvala amabhlogo ukuze usebenzise amakristalu amaningi sehlile.

Ukuqhathaniswa kwama-Apple chips
	I-A12Z	A12X	A13	A12
CPU	I-4x Apple Vortex  4x Apple Isiphepho	I-4x Apple Vortex  4x Apple Isiphepho	2x Apple Umbani  I-4x Apple Thunder	I-2x Apple Vortex  4x Apple Isiphepho
GP	8 amabhlogo,  isizukulwane A12	Amabhulokhi angama-7  (1 kukhutshaziwe),  isizukulwane A12	4 amabhlogo,  isizukulwane A13	4 amabhlogo,  isizukulwane A12
Memory ibhasi	128-bit LPDDR4X	128-bit LPDDR4X	64-bit LPDDR4X	64-bit LPDDR4X
Inqubo yobuchwepheshe	I-TSMC 7nm (N7)	I-TSMC 7 nm (N7)	I-TSMC 7 nm (N7P)	I-TSMC 7 nm (N7)

Kungani i-Apple ikhethe ukusebenzisa kabusha i-A12X kumathebulethi ayo ka-2020 esikhundleni sokukhulula i-A13X kuwukuqagela kwanoma ubani, njengoba impendulo ingase yehlele kwezomnotho. Imakethe yethebhulethi incane kakhulu kunemakethe ye-smartphone, futhi ngisho ne-Apple, cishe engenakho ukuncintisana emkhakheni wamaphilisi aphezulu ane-ARM processors, ithengisa ama-iPads ambalwa kakhulu kunama-iPhone. Ngakho-ke, inani lamadivayisi wokusabalalisa izindleko zokuthuthukisa ama-chips akhethekile alilikhulu kangako, futhi ngesizukulwane ngasinye samazinga we-lithographic, ukuklama kuyabiza kakhulu. Kwesinye isikhathi, akuwenzi umqondo ukudala ama-chips amasha njalo ngonyaka emikhiqizweni enama-run amafushane. Ngokusobala i-Apple isifinyelele lesi senzakalo esiyingqopha-mlando ngama-tablet processors ayo.
