Amandla Ngemuva Kwe-Xbox360
Yize i-Xbox yakwaMicrosoft yakwazi ukuthengisa izigidi nezigidi zamayunithi emhlabeni wonke, isathengiswa kakhulu ngumncintiswano wayo, iSony’s PlayStation. Kulolu suku, lapho olunye uguquko kubuchwepheshe bevidiyo nokudlala luseduze, i-Xbox360 ithembisa kakhulu kunakuqala.
Umehluko onjani i-Xbox360 uma iqhathaniswa neyandulelayo? Yebo, njengayo yonke induduzo yokudlala, empeleni kuyikhompyutha eyenzelwe ukuqhuba izinhlelo zemidlalo yevidiyo. Umehluko ukuthi bagxila ngqo kulo msebenzi kuphela.
Ngakho-ke imodeli yakamuva evela kuMicrosoft yehluke kanjani kunoma iyiphi enye ikhonsoli yokudlala. Njengoba kushiwo ngaphambili, iXbox360 yikhompyutha eyenzelwe ukudlala imidlalo yevidiyo. Kepha ngaphandle kwalokhu, ibiklanyelwe nokusebenza njengohlelo lokuzijabulisa oluphelele. Ukuyidiliza, le khonsoli entsha ingavumela abasebenzisi ukuthi baxhume ngenethiwekhi, ingakopisha, isakaze, futhi ilande zonke izinhlobo zemidiya. Lokhu kuzofaka ku-arsenal yayo, ikhono lokulanda nokudlala ama-movie we-HD, umsindo, kanye nezithombe nemidlalo yedijithali.
Manje, njengoba sazi ukuthi wonke ama-consoles amageyimu kumane kungamakhompiyutha enzelwe ukudlala imidlalo yevidiyo, ake sibheke inhliziyo yawo wonke amakhompyutha - i-CPU. Ngokunjalo, ama-consoles wegeyimu yevidiyo aneprosesa elizokwazi ‘ukucubungula’ lonke ulwazi olufakwa ohlelweni. Ungacabanga ukuthi ifana nenjini yemoto - iyona enamandla wonke umsebenzi wohlelo lonke. Okusha okwenziwe kuXbox360 ukuthi, ‘bashintshe injini’ ukuze bakwazi ukuletha ukusebenza okuhle kubadlali.
Ngokwesiko, ama-CPU acubungula imininingwane ngendlela eyodwa. Igama lobuchwepheshe elithe xaxa lalokhu yintambo. Manje okushicilelwa yi-xbox yakamuva ukuthi ngaphansi kwe-hood yayo, iprosesa, noma i-core, ekwazi ukucubungula imicu emibili ngasikhathi sinye. Lokhu kusho ukuthi yonke imininingwane efakwa kuyo, icutshungulwa ngempumelelo nangempumelelo ngoba ‘ubuchopho’ ‘bunemisebenzi eminingi’. Okusho ukuthi, imininingwane ngomsindo ingacutshungulwa ngendlela eyodwa, enye ihluzo zevidiyo, njll. Uma uke wabona, imidlalo yevidiyo edlule ingahle ime kancane noma ingingize ngezikhathi ezithile. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi uhlelo luhlaselwa imininingwane eminingi, futhi kuthatha isikhathi ukuthi ‘ubuchopho’ babo bakwazi ukubhekana nezidingo.
Ngaphezu kwalokhu, iMicrosoft ifake nalobu buchwepheshe, uhlelo olunemigomo eminingi olubavumela ukuthi bahlanganise amaprosesa angaphezu kwelilodwa kwi-chip eyodwa. Lokhu kungukuqalwa kwamuva okwenziwa ngabakhiqizi bezingxenyekazi zekhompyutha - futhi yebo, iMicrosoft iyifakile kwikhonsoli yabo entsha ye-Xbox game. Ukuba nekhono lokwenza imisebenzi eminingi ngasikhathi sinye, kuvumela abathuthukisi bemidlalo ukuthi beze namasu okuthi kungakhuliswa kanjani amandla omshini, ukuletha ukusebenza okuhle.
Le yinhliziyo yokuthi kungani i-Xbox iguquke yaba namandla amakhulu. Kunezinye izinto eziningi mayelana ne-Xbox360 entsha eqinisa ukusebenza kwayo. Kepha inhliziyo yakho konke lokhu, yiwona mongo oqhuba konke okukuwo.
