Apple lobbed grenade rau hauv cov neeg siv khoom lag luam laptop thaum kawg ntawm 2020: Apple Silicon. Ib qho kev hloov pauv rau Intel kho vajtse Mac siv ntau tshaj kaum xyoo, cov txheej txheem tshiab tam sim ntawd txhawb kev ua haujlwm, kev txav mus los, thiab kev sib raug zoo app ntawm Mac Mini, MacBook Cua, thiab MacBook Pro 13.
Teeb meem ntawm Intel tau qhib qhov rooj rau kev sib tw, thiab nws tsis yog Apple tau txais txiaj ntsig xwb. Microsoft tab tom ua haujlwm nrog Qualcomm kom hloov pauv Windows mus rau ARM-based chips. Cov neeg tsim khoom lag luam maj mam nthuav qhia cov PCs Qualcomm-powered, qee qhov yuav tshwm sim ntawm CES 2021.
"Ob Microsoft thiab Qualcomm tau nqis peev ntau rau hauv qhov chaw no, thiab txawm tias Apple hloov mus rau ARM yuav pab Windows camp," Jitesh Urbani, tus thawj coj tshawb fawb ntawm IDC tau tsom mus rau thoob ntiaj teb cov cuab yeej siv xov tooj ntawm tes, tau hais hauv email rau Lifewire.
Laptops Raws li ARM Yog Lub Tsev Momentum
ARM, hom processor microarchitecture, feem ntau yog siv los ua lub hauv paus ntawm processors hauv smartphones thiab ntsiav tshuaj. Tshaj li 160 billion ARM-raws li chips tau xa mus txog thaum ntxov 2020, nrog kev nrawm nrawm mus rau tus nqi ntawm 22 billion ib xyoos txij li xyoo 2017.
Muab ARM processor hauv PC laptop tsis yog lub tswv yim tshiab. Microsoft thawj qhov khoom siv Surface tau siv Nvidia's Tegra 3 thiab khiav ib qho version ntawm Windows 8 coded los khiav ntawm ARM processors. Lub Ntog tau cog lus rau chav kawm tshiab ntawm lub roj teeb lub neej thiab qhov tshiab, rov tsim kho Windows kev ua haujlwm rau kov es tsis txhob nas thiab keyboard.
Nws yog flop. Joshua Topolsky, tshuaj xyuas Qhov Nto rau The Verge, tau poob siab los ntawm nws qhov kev ua haujlwm tsis zoo thiab kev txhawb nqa software tsis sib xws, xaus lus: "Txhua yam yog qhov tsis ncaj ncees lawm." Lub hom nto moo yuav ua tiav, tab sis tsuas yog tom qab qhia cov qauv nrog Intel kho vajtse sab hauv.
Laptop cov neeg tsim khoom tab tom nrhiav kom paub tias cov neeg yuav khoom xav tau dab tsi hauv lub ntiaj teb uas tib neeg taug kev tsawg dua thiab siv lawv lub laptops ntau dua.
Tiamsis ARM npau suav yeej tsis tuag. Qualcomm tshaj tawm nws thawj ARM processor lub hom phiaj-tsim rau lub laptops hauv 2018, Microsoft muab ARM nti hauv 2019's Surface Pro X, thiab tam sim no Apple muaj nws tus kheej kev cai ARM nti powering qhov tseeb Mac Mini, MacBook Air, thiab qee cov qauv ntawm MacBook Pro. 13.
Qhov kev hloov mus rau ARM tsis yog tsuas yog hais txog kev sib tw ua lag luam tawm ntawm Intel thiab AMD processors, uas yog raws li ntau hom processor microarchitecture hu ua x86. Nws kuj tseem hais txog kev txhawb nqa los ntawm cov neeg tsim khoom. Urbani hais rau Lifewire tias nrog Apple thiab Microsoft tam sim no tau cog lus rau ARM, "feem ntau, app compatibility rau Windows / ARM yeej xav tias yuav txhim kho, yog li muaj txiaj ntsig zoo rau cov neeg siv khoom nrhiav nyias, lub teeb, thiab siv tau ntev."
Vim li cas thiaj tseem ceeb? Nws yog hais txog simplicity. Koj lub xov tooj smartphone muaj ARM-raws li nti; Nws zoo li tsim los ntawm Qualcomm yog tias koj yog tus neeg siv Android, lossis Apple yog tias koj muaj iPhone. Yog tias koj lub PC kuj siv ARM processor, ces nws tuaj yeem, tsawg kawg hauv txoj kev xav, khiav koj cov smartphones nyiam apps-thiab lwm yam. Apple tab tom ua kom zoo dua qhov no, ntxiv kev txhawb nqa rau iOS apps rau txhua Macs siv nws cov Apple M1 Silicon tshiab.
Hmoov tsis zoo rau PC laptops, Apple tseem ua ntej Microsoft hauv cheeb tsam no. Qhov tseeb Windows laptops siv ARM processors los ntawm Qualcomm, zoo li Lenovo IdeaPad 5G, tab tom ua lawv qhov debut ntawm CES 2021. Thaum cov laptops no khiav Windows 10, lawv tsis sib xws nrog cov qub Windows apps thiab tsis tuaj yeem khiav apps ntawm Android lossis iOS..
Microsoft muaj qhov ua piv txwv hauv kev txhim kho uas yuav cia cov laus Windows software khiav ntawm ARM chips, tab sis nws tsis tau npaj rau kev tso tawm dav dav. Txog thaum ntawd, leej twg yuav lub Windows laptop nrog Qualcomm processor tsuas yog nkag mus rau Windows software hloov tshiab rau ARM processors.
Daim ntawv tshaj tawm los ntawm Bloomberg thaum Lub Kaum Ob Hlis 2020 tau lees tias Microsoft tau ua haujlwm ntawm nws tus kheej hauv tsev ARM nti tsim thiab software los txhawb lawv. Yog tias muaj tseeb, nws yuav thaum kawg muab Windows txoj hauv kev meej rau kev txhawb nqa ARM. Lub tuam txhab tsis xav tias yuav tshaj tawm qhov tseem ceeb ntawm CES 2021, txawm li cas los xij. Yog tias Microsoft muaj ntau dua los qhia, nws zoo li yuav tos rau nws lub rooj sib tham tsim tawm, Microsoft Tsim 2021, uas yuav muaj nyob rau lub Tsib Hlis 19-21.
Kev sib tw ntawm Intel thiab AMD twb hloov PCs
Kev tuaj txog ntawm ARM rau lub khoos phis tawj yog xov xwm loj, tab sis nws tsis yog tib zaj dab neeg uas yuav tsum tau ua tib zoo saib ntawm CES 2021. Intel thiab AMD qhov kev sib tw txuas ntxiv mus rau theem nruab nrab. Ib zaug yuam kom tawm tsam rau cov khoom seem hauv Intel lub rooj, AMD tau nce mus tom ntej txij li kev qhia txog nws cov kab tshiab Ryzen processor hauv 2017.
Patrick Moorhead, tus tsim ntawm Moor Insights & Strategy, tau hais hauv email rau Lifewire, "Ob yam tau zoo li qhov no. Intel tsis muaj 10nm kev tua, thiab AMD qhov kev ua tsis zoo. lub sijhawm rau qhov no tshwm sim."
Laptop cov neeg tsim khoom tau teb ntawm CES 2021. AMD processors, ib zaug pom nyob rau hauv tsuas yog cov laptops pheej yig tshaj plaws, yuav muaj zog ntau tus qauv ntawm ntau yam ntawm cov nqe lus. Qee tus yuav siv AMD processors nkaus xwb. Piv txwv suav nrog Lenovo IdeaPad 5 Pro thiab Acer Chromebook Spin 514, ib khub ntawm cov khoom siv tseem ceeb uas nyias nyias, lub teeb, thiab muaj cov roj teeb zoo heev uas AMD-powered laptops tsis tuaj yeem thov ob peb xyoos dhau los.
Qhov xov xwm zoo yog tias koj nyob hauv kev lag luam rau lub laptop hauv 2021. AMD's Ryzen processors paub txog kev ua tau zoo ntawm ntau cov tub ntxhais kawm thiab kev ua haujlwm zoo tshaj plaws ntawm cov duab, ua rau lawv xaiv zoo rau txhua tus neeg uas xav tau lub laptop ceev. ntawm tus nqi tsim nyog.
Tsis suav Intel tawm, txawm li cas los xij. Intel processors tseem muaj kev sib tw. Moorhead ntseeg tias "Intel yuav poob qis dua chav tsev lag luam xyoo no, tab sis yuav zoo li poob nyiaj duas lag luam." Raws li nws tau taw qhia hauv nws email, "Intel muaj peev xwm muab cov txheej txheem hauv thaj chaw kuv tsis ntseeg tias AMD tuaj yeem ua tau, tshwj xeeb tshaj yog nyob rau qis kawg ntawm tus nqi spectrum."
Urbani kuj xav tias kev sib ntaus yuav tsis yog ib leeg, hais. "AMD qhov kev siv zog tsis ntev los no tau tso cai rau lub tuam txhab kom tau txais kev sib koom, txawm hais tias kuv tsis xav tias Intel yuav sawv ntsug."
Kev sib ntaus sib tua ntawm AMD thiab Intel yog qhov tseeb los tuav cov xov xwm ntawm CES, zoo li nws ua txhua xyoo, tab sis nws tseem ceeb tshwj xeeb hauv 2021. Apple txoj kev hloov mus rau nws tus kheej chips txiav rau Intel, uas muab Mac processors, thiab kuj mus rau hauv. AMD, uas muab cov duab sib cais rau Macs. Ob lub tuam txhab yuav saib lwm lub lag luam, suav nrog Windows PCs, txhawm rau ua qhov poob ntawd.
Xaiv ntau dua, Tsis meej pem ntxiv?
Intel tau sawv los ua tus thawj tswj hwm PC hauv xyoo 1990s lig thiab tsis tau ntsib tus neeg sib tw txij li thaum. Feem ntau cov laptops muag hauv ob xyoo dhau los siv Intel chips nkaus xwb. Kev nce ntawm ARM hauv PC laptops, nrog rau kev sib ntaus sib tua hnyav ntawm Intel thiab AMD, yuav ua rau muaj kev sib tw thiab kev xaiv tsis tau pom dua rau lub ntiaj teb Windows ntawm CES 2021.
Nws hais txog kev yooj yim. Koj lub xov tooj smartphone siv ARM processor. Yog tias koj lub PC tseem siv ARM processor ces nws tuaj yeem, tsawg kawg hauv txoj kev xav, khiav koj cov apps nyiam smartphones.
Kev xaiv ntau dua muab cov neeg siv khoom xaiv los yuav lub laptop uas ua tau raws li lawv cov kev xav tau-tab sis nws puas tuaj yeem ua rau tsis meej pem? Urbani yog qhov zoo. "Kuv tsis xav kom cov neeg siv khoom tsis meej pem los ntawm kev muaj ntau txoj kev xaiv," nws hais. "Kev kis thoob qhov txhia chaw tau ua rau muaj kev loj hlob sai hauv kev yuav khoom hauv online, thiab qhov no tau tso cai rau cov neeg tsim khoom hauv PC thiab cov koom tes ua ke kom zoo dua rau lawv cov neeg siv khoom."
Urbani hais txog tus kabmob kis thoob qhov txhia chaw tseem muaj lwm txoj hauv kev CES 2021 txawv. Qhov yeeb yam yog virtual xyoo no, thiab cov neeg tuaj koom tau saib los ntawm lawv cov chaw ua haujlwm hauv tsev. Cov neeg tsim khoom siv lub laptop tab tom nrhiav kom paub seb cov neeg yuav khoom xav tau dab tsi hauv lub ntiaj teb uas tib neeg taug kev tsawg dua thiab siv lawv lub laptops ntau dua.
PC laptop tsim yuav tsum paub qhov ntawd sai sai. Apple qhov kev nthuav qhia ua tiav ntawm M1 nti tawm ntawm txoj hauv kev meej rau Mac uas, txawm tias muaj kev hloov pauv loj hauv cov khoom siv, tsis hais kom cov neeg siv khoom hloov lawv tus cwj pwm. Kev lag luam PC muaj kev sib tw heev, txawm li cas los xij, tseem sib faib, ib qho qauv uas CES 2021 tsuas yog txhawb nqa.
