Key Takeaways
- EU, UK, thiab Asmeskas cov neeg tswj hwm nixed qhov kev pom zoo uas Nvidia yuav yuav Arm rau $ 66 billion.
- Yes, billion.
- Feem ntau cov xov tooj chips, thiab Apple's M1 Macs, yog raws li Arm thev naus laus zis.
US chipmaker Nvidia tau npaj txhij los yuav Britain's Arm chip-tsim tuam txhab rau $ 66 billion, qhov loj tshaj plaws puas tau rau lub tuam txhab nti, thiab tom qab ntawd nws tag nrho. Dab tsi tshwm sim?
Nvidia yog lub tuam txhab duab processor (GPU), tab sis nws kuj ua rau cov tshuab ntawm lub nti (SoC) rau cov khoom siv txawb. Thiab Arm daim ntawv tso cai tsim rau nws cov chips rau lwm tus tsim chip. Apple's iPhone, iPad, thiab lwm yam khoom siv yog txhua tus qauv tsim los ntawm Arm, thiab txawm tias qhov nrawm nrawm M1 Macs siv tib lub chip architecture. Raws li Arm tus tswv Japanese Softbank, "Cov thev naus laus zis ntawm cov neeg tsim qauv Arm tau siv rau hauv cov chips tseem ceeb ntawm yuav luag txhua lub xov tooj smartphones thiab ntsiav tshuaj." Nyob rau hauv luv luv, Arm yog ib tug loj deal. Thiab tseem ceeb heev, raws li cov neeg tswj hwm hauv Asmeskas, UK, thiab EU, kom muaj thiab tswj los ntawm ib lub chaw tsim khoom chip.
"Nvidia qhov kev cog lus yuav Arm rau $ 66 nphom tau poob rau hnub Monday vim tias cov kev cai hauv EU, Asmeskas, UK tau hais lub suab ntawm kev txhawj xeeb loj txog nws cov teebmeem ntawm kev sib tw hauv kev lag luam semiconductor. Cov kev txhawj xeeb tseem suav nrog kev pheej hmoo ntawm kev nyab xeeb hauv tebchaws, " tech tuam txhab tsim Olivia Tan hais rau Lifewire ntawm email.
Arms Race
Arm txoj haujlwm yog qhov nthuav. Nws muag tsis muaj chips ntawm nws tus kheej. Hloov chaw, nws tso cai rau nws cov khoom siv thev naus laus zis rau lwm lub tuam txhab, suav nrog Apple, Qualcomm, thiab Microsoft. Nws cov thev naus laus zis kuj tseem siv ntau hauv Is Taws Nem ntawm Yam (IoT) cov khoom siv.
Kom tau txais lub tswv yim ntawm yuav ua li cas tsis raug yog Arm tau yuav los ntawm lub tuam txhab uas tseem tsim thiab ua cov chips, cia peb xav txog tias Apple yuav Arm. Tej zaum qhov kev pom zoo yuav yuam kom Apple txuas ntxiv daim ntawv tso cai Arm's thev naus laus zis. Tab sis koj puas tuaj yeem pom Apple folding nws tus kheej ntxiv rau Arm rov qab rau hauv cov ntaub ntawv dav dav thiab tso cai rau cov yam ntxwv no? Apple yog txhua yam hais txog kev tsim kho vajtse los ua nws cov kev cai software zoo dua. Yuav muaj kev tsis sib haum xeeb ntawm kev txaus siab.
"Thov, tsis muaj leej twg qhia Apple yuav chip-maker Arm. Nws yuav tsis raug tso cai vim tias muaj Arm yuav ua rau Apple ua rau Qualcomm thiab lwm tus tswv ntawm chip-makers uas siv Arm tsim. (Qhov no yog vim li cas. Nvidia tsis tuaj yeem yuav Arm ib qho), "Apple watcher thiab cov neeg sau xov xwm Ed Hardy tau hais hauv Twitter.
Nvidia tsis yog Apple, tab sis nws yog Californian computer hardware thiab software tuam txhab uas tsim nws tus kheej chips.
Rau EU thiab UK, yam tseem nyuaj dua. Ceding tswj cov thev naus laus zis tseem ceeb rau lub tuam txhab Asmeskas tsis yog qhov txaus siab ntawm ob qho tib si. Thiab UK cov nom tswv, raws li Ars Technica, saib Arm yog "cov cuab yeej cuab tam hauv tebchaws."
Lub neej yav tom ntej ntawm Chips
Vim li cas lub tuam txhab tsim chip tseem ceeb heev? Cov lus teb yog complex, tab sis ib co tiam sis yog zoo nkauj meej. Tau ntau xyoo tam sim no, cov tuam txhab kev koom ua ke zoo li Intel tau tswj hwm lub ntiaj teb microchip, rau cov khoos phis tawj tsawg kawg (nco ntsoov, zoo nkauj npaum li cas nrog lub roj teeb lossis lub zog muaj peev xwm muaj qee yam nti hauv nws hnub no).
"Thov, tsis muaj leej twg qhia Apple yuav chip-maker Arm. Nws yuav tsis raug tso cai vim tias muaj Arm yuav ua rau Apple ua rau Qualcomm thiab lwm tus tswv ntawm chip-makers…"
Intel tsim thiab ua cov chips thiab muag rau cov tuam txhab siv computer. Cov qauv tam sim no tab tom saib me ntsis creaky, raws li lub khoos phis tawj thiab xov tooj tsim lawv tus kheej chips thiab tom qab ntawd them tus neeg thib peb fabricators los tsim lawv. Qhov kom zoo dua yog qhov tseeb. Apple, piv txwv li, tsis tas yuav tos Intel los tsim lub nti tshiab txhawm rau muab lub Mac tshiab, nrawm dua. Apple kuj tsim nws tus kheej chips thiab software hauv kev hais kwv txhiaj, tab sis qhov kev sib kis tau nthuav dav. Google cov xov tooj Pixel tshiab tseem siv cov silicon kev cai, uas yuav xaus rau hauv nws Chromebooks.
Tam sim no, chip fabricators zoo li Taiwan Semiconductor (TSMC)-uas ua rau Apple's M1 thiab A-series chips-yog ob peb xyoos ua ntej Intel hais txog lawv cov chaw tsim khoom, yog li cov neeg tsim khoom siv PC ua tej yam qub qub yog hamstrung los ntawm lawv tso siab rau cov khoom lag luam silicon hauv cov ntsiab lus kev txawj ntse, ib yam nkaus.
Saib hauv qhov pom kev no, Arm's thev naus laus zis yog qhov tseem ceeb rau lub neej yav tom ntej ntawm kev lag luam hauv computer thiab xov tooj, thiab nws tsis xav tsis thoob tias cov neeg tswj hwm tau nqis los, thiab Arm cov neeg siv khoom tau foob cov lus tsis txaus siab. Qhov no yog ib qho piv txwv zoo txog yuav ua li cas tsoomfwv yuav tsum tau nqis los tiv thaiv-nws thiaj li-cov neeg siv zoo li peb.
