Ngokusho kweminye imithombo yezindaba, i-Apple izovala isivumelwano sokuthenga ne-Intel futhi izothatha ngaso izintambo zayo imodemu ibhizinisi omakhalekhukhwini. Inkambu i-Intel ezobe iyishiya ngemuva, ngokunembile, i-Apple iyeka ukuba iklayenti layo eliyinhloko. Kepha kungani inkampani yeCupertino ingafuna ukuyithola? Impendulo ilula kakhulu.

isemthethweni, U-Apple uthenge ibhizinisi lemodemu le-Intel. Kwenziwa ngamalungelo obunikazi angu-17.000 kanye nabasebenzi abangu-2.200 abazoba yingxenye ye-Apple. Le nhlangano iqinisekisa ukuzimela okukhulu kwekusasa. Uzokwazi ukuqhubeka nokuthuthukisa ama-chips abo e-Apple A futhi ufake nezixazululo ze-bespoke kuyo yonke imikhiqizo yabo.
I-Apple ingathenga ibhizinisi lemodemu le-Intel
Ngokwemibiko yabezindaba efana The Wall Street Journal, i-Apple ingase isondele kakhulu ekuvaleni isivumelwano sokuthenga ne-Intel. Ngaphezu kwalokho, kungamenyezelwa emasontweni ambalwa futhi lokho inkampani kaTim Cook ezokuthola bekungeke kube into engaphezu kwebhizinisi amamodemu kumadivayisi eselula.
I-Intel imemezele ezinyangeni ezedlule ukuthi bayahoxa, ukuthi bayalishiya ibhizinisi ngemuva kwe- ukulahlekelwa kwe-Apple njengekhasimende eliyinhloko. Ngokusho kwe-CEO yayo u-Bob Swan, ngaphandle kwe-Apple abayibonanga indlela eya phambili kahle yokuqhubeka nokuthuthukisa umkhiqizo onjalo. Futhi wukuthi, inkampani yama-apula kwakuyiklayenti eliyinhloko le-Intel. Abanye abakhiqizi bamatheminali e-Android basebenzise izixazululo ze-Qualcomm noma bethula ezabo.
Kungani u-Apple eshiye i-Intel? Nokho, inkampani yanquma ukwenza ukuthula neQualcomm futhi ivale isivumelwano abalahle ngaso izingxabano ezedlule. I-Intel ayikwazanga ukuhlinzeka ngamamodemu e-5G ngaphakathi kwekhalenda lezinsuku abaziphethe futhi abadinga isixazululo. Noma kunjalo, i-Apple icabanga ukuncika kancane ngangokunokwenzeka ezinkampanini zangaphandle.
Lokhu kokugcina kuholele inkampani ukuthi ithuthukise ama-processor ayo e-Apple AX anikeze imiphumela emihle kangaka ezizukulwaneni zakamuva. Ngakho ukuthatha ibhizinisi lemodemu ye-Intel kwenza wonke umqondo emhlabeni. Ngoba ngezigidigidi zamaRandi abathi bazozikhokha, i-Apple ibingeke ivele ithathe iphothifoliyo ye-patent enhle, futhi abasebenzi abafaneleke kakhulu futhi abawusizo ukuqhubeka nokuzakhela ezabo izixazululo.
Vele, kunengqondo ukuthi ngeke sibone i-Apple AX enenye yalezi zimodemu ze-Intel ezihlanganisiwe noma nini maduze. Konke kuzomele kuthuthuke kakhulu futhi asikholwa ukuthi kunjalo. Kepha phakathi neminyaka embalwa noma kweminye imikhiqizo efana namalaptop azayo angaba nendawo esikhathini esimaphakathi. Njengoba bengabakwa-Apple, bebengakwazi ukudlala ngemiklamo futhi bavumelanise umkhiqizo nezidingo zabo kanye nemibono yabo. Isibonelo, ukuthuthukisa nokuthuthukisa kokubili ukusebenza nokuzimela kwedivayisi ngokwayo, izici ezihlala zibalulekile.
Sizobona ukuthi kwenzekani ezinsukwini ezizayo, uma kuqinisekiswa ngempela nokuthi zonke izinkampani ezingase zithinteke ngandlela thile zithathe isinyathelo. Kubasebenzisi, ikakhulukazi labo be-Apple, lokhu kutholwa kungaba kuhle impela. Nakuba kuzodingeka bakhombise ukuthi bayamelana nezixazululo ze-Qualcomm nezinye izinkampani ezikhethekile kulezi zifundo.
