Yize i-iPhone 12 ingakakhishwa, wonke umuntu uyazi ukuthi kuzosetshenziswa inqubo ye-TSNC ye-5nm, ezoqinisekisa ukuthi i-iPhone 12 ayinazo izimbangi ngaphambi kokuphela konyaka. IHuawei Mate 40, ebuye isebenzise ama-chips ayi-5nm, kunzima ukubeka usongo ku-iPhone 12 ngenxa yenombolo elinganiselwe. Vele, ama-chip ayizigidi ezingama-80 we-A14 awenele ukondla i-Apple, ngakho-ke i-Apple isivele yenza izinhlelo zonyaka olandelayo.
Phambilini, umongameli weTSMC wathi umthamo wokukhiqiza we-5nm ukhuphuka ngokushesha, futhi kulindeleke ukuthi uhlangabezane nezidingo zabakhiqizi abaningi ngonyaka ozayo. Lapho abakhiqizi abahlukahlukene bengathenga ama-chip angama-5nm ngonyaka ozayo, i-TSMC iphinde yasho ukuthi inguqulo ethuthukisiwe yama-chips ayi-5nm izokhishwa ngonyaka ozayo. Ukukhiqizwa kweMisa kwaqala engxenyeni yonyaka, futhi akungabazeki ukuthi i-Apple izophinde ibe yikhasimende elikhulu kakhulu.
Kusho futhi ukuthi i-iPhone 13 yalo nyaka izophinda futhi ihole imikhiqizo yabangane, kepha izifiso ze-Apple zingaphezu kwalokho, ngoba ubuchwepheshe besizukulwane esilandelayo seTSMC sebubhekwe ngabakwa-Apple.
Ngokwemibiko yabezindaba, ama-waffers ama-3nm we-TSMC asevele efakiwe, okusho ukuthi inqubo ye-TSMC yesizukulwane esilandelayo seyenze impumelelo enkulu, futhi umongameli we-TSMC ukuqinisekisile ukuthi ukukhiqizwa kokulingwa kwezinqubo ze-3nm chips kuzoqala engxenyeni yesibili ngonyaka ozayo, nasengxenyeni yesibili ka-2022. Kuzoqala ukukhiqizwa ngobuningi kwama-chips ama-3nm, okushesha kakhulu kunalokho wonke umuntu ayekucabanga.
Ngoba abezindaba abaningi bacabangele ukuthi ngemuva kokuthi ama-chips ama-5nm akhiqizwe ngobuningi, ama-chip angama-3nm ngeke akhiqizwe ngobuningi ekuqaleni, futhi angavela unyaka kusengaphambili, okufakazela ukuthi i-TSMC iyazethemba ekusetshenzisweni kobuchwepheshe bayo obuthuthukile .
Kusobala ukuthi lolu hlobo lobuchwepheshe obuphambili alukaze luswele amakhasimende, futhi ludinga ngisho nokuhlangana ukuze lube sohlwini lokuhlinzekwa kweTSMC, kepha eminye imithombo yezindaba iphule ukuthi i-Apple isivele inenkontileka yokuqala yeTSMC yokukhiqiza i-3nm, ingasaphathwa eyenyama, ngisho Isobho alishiyanga nethonsi kwabanye abenzi.
Izindaba zamanje ukuthi abanye abakhiqizi balwela ukufaka iqoqo lesibili nelesithathu lohlu lokuphakelwa kwamandla we-TSMC's 3nm. Yiqiniso, lolu hlobo lubandakanya ne-Apple, kepha kungani i-TSMC ithanda i-Apple kakhulu, ukuhlaziywa kweXiaozhi kukholwa ukuthi akukho lutho ngaphandle kwalokho I-apula. Umkhiqizi ubenesibindi sokuthenga ama-chip technology amaningi kakhulu esigabeni sokuqala, kanti i-iPhone ithengisa njengokuqinisekisa, futhi i-Apple ayiyimbi ngemali. Vele, izinhlangothi zombili ziyishayile.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, izindleko zokuthengwa kwempahla nazo ziyizinkinga abanye abakhiqizi okufanele bazicabangele. Ukuthatha ama-chips ama-5nm njengesibonelo, izindleko ezilucwecwe cishe zingama-dollar ayi-16,000 ase-US, ephakeme kakhulu kunedola le-7nm chip 9346 US dollars. Ngokuya ngalokhu kubalwa, ama-wafers chip ama-3nm Izindleko zocezu olulodwa ngeke zibe ngaphansi kwama-dollar ayizinkulungwane ezingama-25,000, futhi isilinganiso sesivuno sokuqala asikho phezulu, futhi ngokuyisisekelo akukho ukwehla kwentengo. Akuwona wonke umuntu ongathwala inani lokuthengwa kwamashumi ezigidi.
Ngenxa yezindleko eziphakeme zokuthengwa kwempahla, lawo machipisi azosetshenziswa kuphela kumaselula asezingeni eliphakeme, futhi yi-iPhone kuphela engathengisa amashumi ezigidi amayunithi ukulinganisela izindleko zokuthenga eziphakeme, futhi futhi ingasheshisa ngokushesha ubuchwepheshe bokukhiqiza obuphambili beTSMC Umhlaba. Ukucatshangelwa okuphelele, akumangazi ukuthi i-Apple izoba ngumlingani ohamba phambili weTSMC ekuqaleni.
Okwe-Apple, kuyisinyathelo esisodwa phambili, isinyathelo ngesinyathelo. Eminyakeni embalwa ezayo, ngeke kube lula kangako kumaselula wakho ukuthola i-iPhone.
