Ixesha elithile bekukho umdla othile wokwazi ukuba ngubani oza kuba ngumvelisi we-Apple chip nganye yezixhobo zabo eziphathwayo. Endaweni yoko, umdla wawukukwazi ukuba i-Samsung iya kuqhubeka na ukuba yinkampani enoxanduva lokubeka injini kwi-iPad kunye ne-iPhone emva kokuba ezi nkampani zimbini zibandakanywe kumadabi asemthethweni iminyaka embalwa. Ngoku kubonakala ngathi I-A8 chip iya kuveliswa kakhulu yi-TSMC Yima nzu Isamsung iza kuhlala ibandakanyeka kule SoC intsha.
Sisanda kufumanisa ukuba itshiphu ye-A7 efunyenwe kwi-iPhone 5S yenziwe yi-Samsung. I-64-bit chip edale uxabiso olukhulu kwinkcazo yayo nayo yaphuma kwii-oveni zembangi enkulu. Ezi ndaba zisimangalisile kuba ukuvuza okwahlukeneyo kucebise ukuba i-TSMC sele iwungenile umdlalo kwaye i-Apple yayisele yenze iintshukumo ezibalulekileyo zokuphelisa izinto ezenziwe ngamaKorea phakathi kwamacandelo abakha ngawo ii-iPads zabo.
Ingxelo yoshicilelo lweHankyung yaseMzantsi Korea eqokelela iDigitimes icebisa ukuba phakathi kwe I-60 kunye ne-70% iya kwenziwa yi-Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, ngelixa ezinye ziya kwenziwa yi-Samsung Electronics.
Enye ingxelo yamva nje ithi i-Samsung iya kuba nakho yenza iiprosesa ze-20nm ukususela ekuqaleni kuka-2014, njenge-TSMC. Mhlawumbi nantsi isitshixo kuyo yonke into kwaye kukuba kukho iinjongo ezimbini kwisikali: ukuya [kwigama lendawo] ukuya kwi-chips ezincinci kunye nezisebenzayo, kwelinye icala, kwaye ukunciphisa ukuxhomekeka kwi-Samsung, kwenye.
Ulwazi esilufumanayo namhlanje luqinisekisa ukuba i-TSMC iya kunika iziqinisekiso ezaneleyo kwi-Apple ukudlulisa uninzi lwemveliso kuyo. Nangona kunjalo, nangona ayisosidlo sokungcamla, bathembela ngokupheleleyo kwiziphumo ze-Samsung njengomvelisi wetshiphu, njengoko kubonisiwe ngokugunyaziswa ukwenza i-A7, eyona chip iyiyo eyilwe yinkampani kwiminyaka yakutshanje.
