Kubukeka sengathi enye yemikhonto lapho zonke izinkampani ezinkulu ezihlobene nomhlaba wezobuchwepheshe zifuna ukuba khona impela ekwakhiweni kwe amasu amasha wezinhloli zokufakelwa namapulatifomu. Ngenxa yalokhu futhi, ngemuva kokuvuna imiphumela emihle, isinyathelo esilandelayo esinengqondo ukudala i-hardware yakho, ukuvela okungaphezulu kokuthakazelisa kwazo zonke izinhlelo ukuthola i-hardware efanelekile yamapulatifomu akho.
Kulesi senzakalo, mhlawumbe lesi sinyathelo esinengqondo esikhuluma ngaso singadonsela ukunaka okukhulu ngoba, njengoba ungafunda esihlokweni salokhu okuthunyelwe, asikhulumi ngezinkampani ezinjengeGoogle, i-Apple kanye neHuawei, kodwa ngeFacebook. Noma kunjalo, bekulindelekile, ikakhulukazi lapho sicabanga nge izinzuzo ezinkulu ezilethwe ukwakhiwa kwehardware yazo ezinkampanini ezibalwe ngenhla egcizelele ngokuphelele ukusebenza nezinhlelo zobuhlakani bokufakelwa kuphela.
I-Facebook izogxila ekuthuthukiseni i-chip yayo yobuhlakani bokufakelwa, njengoba kuvezwe eBloomberg
Ngaphambi kokuqhubeka, akutshele lokho lonke lolu lwazi luvezwe omunye ngaphandle kukaMark Gurman eBloomberg ngakho-ke, njengoba kufanele kuqondwe, okungenani okwamanje akukho mininingwane esemthethweni evela ku-Facebook mayelana nokuthi onjiniyela bayo basebenza kule chip ekhetheke kakhulu lapho, njengoba ucabanga ngokuqinisekile, kuye kwadingeka batshale imali izigidi eziningi zamadola ekuthuthukisweni, ekuhlolweni nasekukhiqizweni kwayo.
Ngokuya ngezitatimende zikaMark Gurman, ngokusobala izinkomba zale phrojekthi zivela ngemisebenzi emisha i-Facebook efuna ukuyigcwalisa ngabasebenzi abaqeqeshiwe. Lezi zikhundla zifuna ukuthola ochwepheshe bama-semiconductor kanye nomphathi onamandla anele yakha ipulatifomu 'Ukuphela kokuphela kweSoc / ASIC', i-firmware kanye nabashayeli bezentuthuko nokusebenza. Ngaphezu kwalokhu, uFacebook uqobo umemezela ukuthi konke lokhu okuthunyelwe kuzoya endaweni esesezigabeni zokuqala zokwakheka.
Ngenxa yalo mnyango, i-Facebook izokwazi ukunciphisa ukuncika kwayo ezinkampanini zangaphandle ezifana ne-Intel noma iQualcomm
Ngaphezu kwezinzuzo zokuba nehardware yakho yemisebenzi ethile ongaba nayo, kunamahemuhemu amaningi aphakamisa ukuthi i-Facebook izobe icabanga ukuzimela kulo mkhakha ukuze kunciphisa ngangokunokwenzeka ukuncika abanakho namuhla kubakhiqizi bangaphandle abanjengo-Intel noma iQualcomm. Ngasikhathi sinye, futhi kunamahemuhemu ukuthi inkampani edumile yezinjini zokucinga ifuna izisebenzi eziqeqeshiwe kakhulu emikhakheni yezobunhloli nemishini yokufunda.
Ngeshwa futhi okwamanje iqiniso ukuthi akukho lwazi olusemthethweni lokuthi kungani i-Facebook isebenza ekuthuthukiseni nasekusetshenzisweni kwala ma-SoCs amasha nama-ASIC, yize, njengoba bekulindelekile, utshalomali kufanele lusetshenziselwe ukukhuthaza intuthuko yesikhathi esizayo ezokwenziwa ezinkampanini zaseNyakatho Melika. Ukubuyela kula mahemuhemu, iqiniso lokuthi i-Facebook inentshisekelo yokwakha isipikha esihlakaniphile, amakhamera amasha kanye nezigqoko zangempela ezingokoqobo kuyadingidwa, ngamandla amakhulu, izinkambu lapho lolu hlobo lobuchwepheshe luthakazelisa khona kakhulu. gxila ekusebenzeni kwepulatifomu eyodwa.
Yiba ngangokunokwenzeka, njengoba bonke abahlaziyi bezimakethe belindele, lolu lwazi kulindeleke ukuthi lwenziwe olusemthethweni noma ngesikhathi sengqungquthela yonjiniyela ye-Facebook noma, ngakolunye uhlangothi, engqungqutheleni ye-Oculus. Izingqungquthela lapho, ngaphezu kokuveza inhloso yalo mnyango, kunikezwa imininingwane yokuqala yale phrojekthi entsha. Ngaphandle kokungabaza, kubonakala sengathi ikusasa le-Facebook liqala ukwehluka libheke kwezinye izimakethe eziningi, into engatholwa uma lo mnyango omusha wezokuthuthukiswa kwehardware kuphela wesikhulumi uqala ukwakheka futhi unikeze imiphumela yawo yokuqala esikhathini esifushane.
