Ziningi izinkampani okuthi kancane kancane zibone inzuzo enkulu, ngokwezinzuzo, uma kukhulunywa ngokuthengisa lokho okubizwa ngokuthi 'ama-pocket computer' isizukulwane esisha esiholwa yi-Raspberry Pi edumile, okuthi, yize kudlula iminyaka iyona kuphela ekwazi ukuthengisa izigidi zamayunithi. Unalokhu engqondweni, kufanele sikhumbule ukuthi i- I-raspberry Pi 3 Model B sekuyimakethe iminyaka emibili futhi iqala ukukhombisa ubuthakathaka obuthile.
Ngenxa yalokhu, akumangazi ukuthi amahemuhemu athile aqala ukuzwakala, njengokuthi kungenzeka ukuthi iRaspberry Pi Foundation isebenza ngokubambisana Broadcom ukuthuthukisa isizukulwane esisha sekhadi elidumile, umzamo ohlanganyelwe okhuphuka ngokwengeziwe futhi ongachaza ukunyakaza okuthile kwemakethe yamasheya okwenzeka namuhla.
I-Raspberry Pi iphila ngekusasa elingaqinisekile okufanele lixazululwe ngokushesha okukhulu
Okwamanje kufanele sikhumbule ukuthi engxenyeni ye-Broadcom esinayo inkampani ekuyo Ukwakhiwa kwe-VC4 / VC5 GPU iphuzu eliheha kakhulu ukuqala kulo, ngakolunye uhlangothi, kufanele kuqashelwe ukuthi I-Broadcom isanda kwenza umnikelo omkhulu wokuthenga we-Qualcomm, okuyinkampani ephethe ubuchwepheshe be-4G ngokoqobo futhi engxenyeni yemakethe yeselula ngenxa ye-Snapdragon SoCs yayo, okungukuthi, empeleni ayikho inkampani engathengisa ifoni yokuncintisana ngaphandle kokukhokha amalayisense kuQualcomm.
Njengoba ukwazi ukubona, i-Broadcom ilwazi kahle uhlobo lwebhizinisi efuna ukuluthola njengoba ukuhlangana phakathi kweQualcomm ne-Broadcom kungadala uchungechunge lwe ukusebenzisana okuthakazelisa kakhulu lokho kuzohlanganisa ikhompyutha nokuxhuma kumodeli entsha okuthi, ngenxa yombango wazo zombili izinkampani, ize ihlangane kungacabangeki.
Ngakho konke lokhu engqondweni, kuya ngokuya kuba mnandi ukuthi kunamahemuhemu akhuluma ngokuthi kanjani I-Broadcom ingenza ama-SoC amabili amasha we-Raspberry Pi Foundation. Sikhuluma nge-chip engasebenza njengesisekelo sesizukulwane esisha samamodeli. Le chip ingahlotshaniswa ne-Cortex-A35 enokwanda kwemvamisa yewashi ebanga u-1.5 kuye ku-1.8 GHz. Le SoC ingasebenza kuze kufike ku-3 GB we-LPDDR3 DRAM yize, kanye emakethe, ngokuqinisekile bakhuluma ngamamodeli afakwe izinkumbulo ze-DRAM kusuka ku-1 kuye ku-2 GB.
