Okwenzeka ngesizukulwane esisha sama-consoles kuyinto eyingqayizivele engenakho okulinganayo emlandweni omusha wemidlalo yevidiyo. Akukaze nanini ngaphambili abasebenzisi bakhawulelwe kangaka uma kuziwa ekutholeni omunye wemishini emibili eqhudelana indawo yokuqala ekuthengisweni eyaqala ngokwethulwa kwayo ngoNovemba 2020. Kodwa kunjalo, nanamuhla akunakwenzeka ukuya esitolo futhi usicele ukuthi sibeke ukuthatha owodwa. I-Sony PS5 noma a I-Xbox Series X ye-Microsoft.
Ukunikezwa kwe-chip, inkinga
Inkinga yonke kumele itholakale ekushodeni kwama-chips osekuphele cishe iminyaka emibili kwenzeka. Inkinga eholela izinkampani eziningi ukuthi zichithe ukufakwa kwama-SoC amasha ngokuvuna amamodeli avela eminyakeni emithathu noma ngaphezulu edlule, anokusebenza okungaphezu kobufakazi futhi, ngokusebenza okuphansi, okungenani ziqinisekisa ukusebenza okuphelele. Lesi yisibonelo samakhadi wehluzo, okuthi lapho kungabikho amaphrosesa athuthuke kakhulu, abadlali baphephela kumamodeli avela eminyakeni emibili noma emithathu edlule.
Kodwa-ke, leso sinqumo esingasenza sokuvuselela i-PC yethu, isibonelo, akwamukelekile ku-Sony ne-Microsoft, abathengisa i-avant-garde namandla wesithombe kuma-consoles abo amasha, ngakho-ke kufanele balinde ama-chips abawadingayo ukuthi afike kancane. Lokhu, njengoba ungacabanga, kunciphisa umthamo wokukhiqiza, okwathi kusukela ekufikeni kwe- okulandelayo-gen ihlale ingaphansi kwesidingo semakethe.
Ukubambezeleka kuyakhula
Lesi simo, ebesaziwa yibo bonke, sesiphenduke isiphithiphithi kakhulu kusukela ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ezedlule, i-CEO ye-Intel, uPat Gelsinger, yavela ku-CNBC ukuze isitshele ukuthi izinto azihambi njengoba bekulindelekile nokuthi ukuphela kokushoda kwama-chips. okuhlelelwe kuze kube ingxenye yokuqala ka-2023 izokwelulwa. Futhi, manje, inkinga ibonakala ibekwe kwelinye icala, njengaleya «ukutholakala okulinganiselwe kwamathuluzi okukhiqiza abalulekile«, okuvimbela abakhiqizi ukuthi bangakwazi ukuhlangabezana nesidingo futhi.
NgokukaGelsinger “leso kuyingxenye yesizathu esenza sikukholelwe lokho ukushoda okujwayelekile kwe-semiconductor manje kuzodlulela ku-2024, ezilinganisweni zethu zangaphambilini zango-2023, ngenxa yokuthi ukushoda manje sekushaye imishini futhi eminye yaleyo migqa yefekthri izobukeka iminyene kakhulu.” Lokhu kuzoholela kukho kokubili i-Sony ne-Microsoft, baqhubeke nokukhiqiza ama-consoles abo amasha ngenani eliphansi kunalokho abebengathanda, ngakho-ke, ngeke sikwazi ukuyozithenga ngokujwayelekile ezitolo.
Uma kuyiqiniso ukuthi kuze kube ngu-2024 ngeke siphinde sibuyele esimweni esijwayelekile, kungasho ukuthi sizofika maphakathi nesizukulwane (2023-2024) ngaphandle kokufinyelela izibalo ezidingekayo zokuthengisa ezingalindeleka ku-PS5 naku-Xbox Series X ngokufanele. izimo zemakethe.. Okusenza sizibuze ukuthi uma lesi simo siqhubeka, bobabili u-Sony ne-Microsoft bazocabangela ukwelula iminyaka eyisikhombisa ukuthi lezi zizukulwane zivame ukuhlala komunye umjikelezo wempilo obanzi ongafinyelela ku-2029 futhi, mhlawumbe, 2030.
