Kudiwa kwemachipisi, kana semiconductors, kwakakwira panguva yechirwere checoronavirus apo vanhu vakabvuta mitambo yemakoni, malaptop uye maTV kuti vabatsire kupfuura nekuvhara. Iye zvino, zvizhinji zvezvigadzirwa izvi - zvinosanganisira mamwe malaptop eCbookbook uye anotevera-chizvarwa consoles seXbox Series X uye PlayStation 5 - zvinotengeswa kunze, kana zvichitarisirwa nenguva dzakareba dzekutakura.

Icho chinongova chimwe chezvinhu zvinoverengeka izvo zvaendesa chishuwo chema semiconductors, asi sekupa kunonetsa kuramba, ndiyo chip-reliant mota indasitiri yanga yarova zvakanyanya.

"Taona munguva pfupi, indasitiri yemotokari yakavhiringidzwa zvakanyanya," Bryce Johnstone, director wekushambadzira chikamu chemotokari pa chip designer Imagination Technologies, akaudza CNBC kuburikidza neemail. "Izvi zvinobva pamaitiro avo-enguva-yekugadzira zvigadzirwa uye nemaketani avo akaomarara ekushambadzira."

Vagadziri vanoshandisa semiconductors mune zvese kubva kune simba rekutyaira uye mabhureki emabhureki, kumasystem ekuvaraidza uye ekupaka kamera Idzo mota dzakangwara dzinowana, iwo akawanda machipisi avanoshandisa.

"Kana chip icho chinopa simba mumota-kudhiza kana otomatiki braking chikanonoka, saka ndozvinoitawo imwe mota," akadaro Johnstone.

Yakavharwa mota inodyara
US mota hofori General Motors akazivisa Chitatu chadarika kuti iri kuvhara michina mitatu uye inononoka kugadzirwa pane chechina nekuda kwekushomeka kwema semiconductor. Iyo Detroit inogadzira mota yakati inogona kupotsa zvinangwa zvayo zve2021 semhedzisiro.

"Kunyangwe zvedu kuyedza kudzikisira, kushomeka kwema semiconductor kunokanganisa kugadzirwa kweGM muna 2021," mutauriri wekambani akadaro muchitauti.

"Semiconductor kupa kune yepasirese auto indasitiri inoramba yakanyorova," vakawedzera. "Sangano redu rekushambadzira riri kushanda padyo nenzvimbo yedu yekutenga kutsvaga mhinduro dzevanotipa 'semiconductor zvinodiwa uye kudzikisira kukanganisa kune GM."
