Emasontweni ambalwa edlule, kwasakazwa amahlebezi mayelana nokuthi kungenzeka kube nobudlelwano phakathi Sony kanye ne-TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.). Ngokusobala, inkampani yaseJapan izama ukudambisa izithiyo eziqhubekayo ezibangelwa inkinga ye-semiconductor. Omunye wemikhiqizo yayo eyinhloko, i-PlayStation 5, inenkinga yokushoda kwama-chipset. Ubambiswano kungenzeka lusize inkampani yakhe i-chipset yekhonsoli, kodwa hhayi lokho kuphela.
Umdondoshiya wezobuchwepheshe waseJapan ukuqinisekisile ukuthi ucabanga ukujoyina amabutho ne-TSMC, ngokusho kombiko ovela e-AsiaNikkei. Lokhu kwenzeke ngesikhathi kunengqungquthela lapho bekukhonjiswa khona inzuzo yenkampani engxenyeni yokuqala ka-2021. Ngesikhathi kuqhubeka ingqungquthela, isikhulu esiphezulu sezimali sale nkampani sithe: “Ukuthengwa kwempahla ye-semiconductor eqhubekayo kuyindaba ebalulekile lapho kubhekene nokushoda kwama-chip. Ibhodi le-TSMC lingaba yisixazululo. " U-Sony okwamanje ukhipha iningi lama-logic chips, okuyizingxenye ezibalulekile zezinzwa zesithombe.
I-TSMC ifuna ukwakha imboni yayo yokuqala yama-chipset ngaphandle kwase-Taiwan
U-Sony naye usebenza kanzima ukuze ahehe amakhasimende amaningi futhi athuthukise ikhwalithi yezinzwa zakhe. Umgomo uwukumboza izinhlelo zakho zokusebenza ngemigqa eminingana yomkhiqizo eyahlukene. Isikhulu esiphezulu siphinde sengeza ngokuthi inkampani izoxoxisana ngokubambisana ne-TSMC kanye noMnyango Wezomnotho, Wezohwebo Nezimboni waseJapan. Lokhu kubambisana kungahlanganisa ubuchwepheshe be-Sony ekwenzeni ama-chip e-Japan nomenzi wama-chip wenkontileka omkhulu kunawo wonke emhlabeni. I-TSMC njengamanje ikhiqiza ama-chips ama-giants afana ne-AMD, i-NVIDIA, i-MediaTek, i-Qualcomm, nokuningi.
Ngasekuqaleni kwaleli sonto, u-Sony ukuqinisekisile ukuthi ucubungula uhlelo lokubambisana ne-TSMC ukwakha isiteji esisha se-chip ngaphakathi kweJapane. Umkhulumeli wenkampani wenqabile ukuphawula ngokutshalwa kwezimali embonini yama-chip. Wengeze ngokuthi "ukuqinisa nokujulisa ubudlelwano bethu ne-TSMC, ephethe ubuchwepheshe be-semiconductor obuphambili kakhulu emhlabeni, kuzoba kubaluleke kakhulu kithi." Kulabo abangazi, i-TSMC ihlela ukuvula indawo yayo yokuqala ethuthukisiwe yokukhiqiza ngaphandle kwezwe layo. Kuyathakazelisa ukuthi phambilini bekunamahemuhemu okuthi inkampani yaseTaiwan ingase ikhethe iJapane ngesitshalo sayo sokuqala sangaphandle. Ibhizinisi lingase libe sesifundeni saseKumamoto entshonalanga yeJapan. Ukwakhiwa kuzoqala esikhathini esithile ngonyaka ozayo, futhi ukukhiqizwa kungaqala ngo-2024. Ake sibone ukuthi u-Sony unento yokwenza naleli bhizinisi.

Njengoba kushiwo, inkinga enkulu yakwaSony ngokuntuleka kwama-chips yiPS5. Inkampani ayikwazi ukuhlinzeka ngesitoko esikhulu sama-consoles ukuhlangabezana nesidingo. Noma kunjalo, ikhonsoli isathengiswa, kepha izothengisa okuningi kakhulu.
