Kwenzeka ntoni ngesizukulwana esitsha se-consoles yinto ekhethekileyo engenamlinganiso kwimbali encinci yemidlalo yevidiyo. Zange ngaphambili abasebenzisi banqunyelwe kangaka xa kufikwa ekufumaneni omnye koomatshini ababini abakhuphisanayo kwindawo yokuqala kwintengiso eyaqala ngokusungulwa kwayo ngoNovemba 2020. Kodwa kunje, kusenjalo namhlanje akunakwenzeka ukuya evenkileni kwaye usicele ukuba sithwale. Nye Sony PS5 okanye Microsoft's Xbox Series X.
Ubonelelo lweChip, ingxaki
Ingxaki yonke kufuneka ifunyanwe kukunqongophala kwetshiphu okwenzeke phantse iminyaka emibini. Ingxaki ekhokelela kwiinkampani ezininzi ukuba zale ukufakwa kwee-SoCs ezintsha ukuze zihlale kunye neemodeli ukusuka kwiminyaka emithathu okanye ngaphezulu eyadlulayo, ezinomsebenzi oqinisekisiweyo kwaye, ngokusebenza okuphantsi, Ubuncinci ziqinisekisa ukusebenza okugqibeleleyo. Lo ngumzekelo wamakhadi emizobo, apho ngokungabikho kweeprosesa eziphambili, abadlali babalekela kwiimodeli kwiminyaka emibini okanye emithathu edlulileyo.
Kodwa ewe, eso sigqibo sinokusenza ukuhlaziya iPC yethu, umzekelo, Ayamkelekanga kuSony kunye noMicrosoft, abathengisa i-cutting-edge kunye namandla egraphic kwiikhonsoli zabo ezintsha, ke kufuneka balinde ukuthunyelwa kweetshiphusi abazifunayo ukuba zifike kancinci. Oko, njengoko unokucinga, kuthintela umthamo wemveliso, okoko kwafika i Ilandelayo-gen ibisoloko ingaphantsi kwemfuno yemarike.
Ukulibaziseka kuyakhula
Le meko, eyayisaziwa ngumntu wonke, iye yanzima kakhulu ukususela kwiintsuku ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo, i-CEO ye-Intel, uPat Gelsinger, wavela kwi-CNBC ukuze asixelele ukuba izinto azihambi njengoko bekulindelekile kwaye ukuphela kokunqongophala kwee-chips. icwangciselwe ukuya kwisiqingatha sokuqala sika-2023 yayiza kwandiswa. Kwaye, ngoku, ingxaki ibonakala ibekwe kwelinye icala, elinje nge «ukufumaneka okulinganiselweyo kwezixhobo eziphambili zokuvelisa«, okuthintela abavelisi ukuba bangakwazi ukuhlangabezana neemfuno kwakhona.
Ngokutsho kukaGelsinger “leyo yinxalenye yesizathu sokuba siyikholelwe loo nto Ukunqongophala kwe-semiconductor ngokubanzi ngoku kuya kutshintshela ku-2024, kuqikelelo lwethu lwangaphambili ngo-2023, kuphela ngenxa yokuba ukunqongophala ngoku kuchaphazele izixhobo kwaye ezinye zezo migca zefektri ziya kuxinana ngakumbi. Oku kuya kukhokelela kuzo zombini i-Sony kunye neMicrosoft, qhubeka nokwenza izixhobo zakho ezintsha ngesantya esisezantsi kunokuba bengathanda kwaye, ke ngoko, siya kuqhubeka singakwazi ukuya kuzithenga ngokwesiqhelo ezivenkileni.
Ukuba kuyinyani ukuba asizukufumana isiqhelo de kube ngu-2024, oko kuya kuthetha ukuba siza kufikelela kwinqanaba lesiqingatha sesizukulwana (2023-2024) ngaphandle kokufikelela kumanani afunekayo okuthengisa anokulindelwa kwi-PS5 kunye ne-Xbox Series. Oku kusikhokelela ekubeni sizibuze ukuba, ukuba le meko iyaqhubeka, bobabini u-Sony kunye noMicrosoft baya kuthathela ingqalelo ukwandisa iminyaka esixhenxe Ezi zizukulwana zihlala zihlala komnye umjikelo wobomi obude obunokuhlala kude kube ngu-2029 kwaye, mhlawumbi, ngo-2030.
