Ibhizinisi elingamaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-300: Isikhathi siphela ngokutholwa kwe-AMD kwe-Xilinx

Impi ye-computing esebenza kahle kakhulu ingene emanzini ajulile ngokuphothulwa ngokusemthethweni kokutholwa kwamaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-300 embonini ye-semiconductor.

NgoFebhuwari 14, i-AMD yamemezela ngokusemthethweni ukuphothulwa kokuthengwa kwayo kweXilinx.Kusukela lapho, isizindalwazi se-Xilinx esisemthethweni sesithathelwe indawo uphawu lwe-AMD nolwazi lwezezimali, kanti i-Xilinx isibe yingxenye ye-AMD, futhi laba bobabili bathi ngokuhlanganyela bazogqugquzela ukuthuthukiswa kwekhompyutha esebenza kahle futhi eguquguqukayo.

"Ukuphela kwenkathi", ukuphawula kwabantu abaningi embonini ye-semiconductor.Ngemuva kweminyaka yokuba yinkampani ezimele ephezulu ye-FPGA (i-field-programmable gate array), uCeleris watholwa imbangi yakudala ye-AMD, i-Intel, futhi ngalokhu kutholwa, izinkampani ezimbili ze-FPGA eziyinhloko yephakethe zombili seziphenduke izinkampani ezingaphansi kwabakhiqizi abakhulu be-computing chip. , okuveza imiphumela yokuncintisana yokuhlangana.

Usuku olulodwa nje lokuhweba ngaphambi kokuba kuqedwe ukutholwa, amasheya zobuchwepheshe ase-US athintwa izici zangaphandle futhi awela ngokujwayelekile.Imakethe icabange ukuthi ukuthengwa kwe-Xilinx kwe-AMD akuzange kubize noma iyiphi imali kodwa yasebenzisa ifomu lokuthengiselana ngalo lonke uhlobo lwesitoko, futhi umuzwa wokudayiswa okungenzeka ngemva kwalokhu kushintshana kwamasheya uholele ekwehleni kwenani lezabelo ze-AMD ngo-10% ngalolo suku, waba umholi phakathi kwalezi zinkampani. izinkampani ezihamba phambili ze-chip.

Kodwa-ke, ngemuva kwesimemezelo esisemthethweni sokuphothulwa kokutholwa, inani lentengo le-AMD liphinde lakhuphuka, okukhombisa ukuthi imakethe isesimweni sokuthuthuka kwenkampani esikhathini esizayo ngaphansi kwesimo sokuncintisana semboni.

Eminyakeni eyedlule yentuthuko, ngenxa yomehluko wesizinda somsunguli kanye nomugqa wokuthuthuka, i-Intel ibilokhu isebuholini be-CPU emisha, kuhlanganiswe nenkundla ye-GPU isikhundla esiphambili sika-Nvidia, ngakho-ke i-AMD yathweswa umqhele "isihloko sesibili esidala".Ngaphansi kobuholi be-CEO yayo yamanje, uMnu. Zifeng Su, i-AMD ikhuphuke kakhulu eminyakeni yamuva.Ngokutholwa kwe-FPGA yokuqala yomkhakha, indlela yesikhathi esizayo ye-AMD yokuhlangana kwe-CPU+GPU+FPGA idonse ukunaka okukhulu kokuthi ingasibalekela yini lesi sihloko.

Kepha ngasikhathi sinye, kufanelekile ukuqaphela ukuthi abahlaziyi batshele izintatheli ukuthi ukutholwa kwe-Intel kwangaphambilini kwe-Altera akukwazanga ukukhombisa izinzuzo ezifanele emiphumeleni yayo yezezimali isikhathi eside, okusho ukuthi ngemuva kokutholwa, kusazohamba. ngenqubo yokungqubuzana njalo.
