In line with Samsung’s plan, the NPU computing energy of Exynos Auto V920, a cockpit chip to be mass-produced round 2025 will attain about 30TOPS. Qualcomm’s manufacturing chip SA8155P gives AI computing energy of about 8TOPS, and its fourth-generation cockpit SoC is built-in with the NPU computing energy of as excessive as 30TOPS. Qualcomm plans manufacturing of its cockpit SoC product launched with the best AI computing energy in 2023.
As for Chinese language cockpit SoCs, SemiDrive’s cockpit merchandise from the mid-end to the premium are all embedded with AI computing energy, of which X9U delivers AI computing energy of 1.2TOPS; Rockchip’s newest cockpit SoC RK3588M gives AI computing energy of 6TOPS; the AI computing energy of Longying No.1, a cockpit chip of SiEngine Expertise underneath Geely, is about 8TOPS.
When it comes to cockpit SoC course of, the 5nm course of has come out. At current, 7nm and 8nm cockpit chips have been spawned, similar to Qualcomm 8155/8195, Samsung V910 and Rockchip RK3588M. Furthermore Qualcomm launched its newest 5nm chip, a 4th Era Snapdragon Automotive Cockpit Platform, and plans to begin mass manufacturing in 2023.
Within the Fierce Cockpit SoC Competitors, International Giants Forge Forward Steadily and Chinese language Distributors Step Up Their Efforts to Produce Chips
Up to now two years, the competitors within the automotive cockpit SoC market has intensified, particularly within the mid- and high-end segments. Not solely are there extra competing corporations, but additionally client electronics chip gamers like Qualcomm, Intel, NVIDIA, Huawei, AMD, MediaTek are vigorous entrants, along with conventional automotive SoC distributors similar to NXP, Renesas and TI. For instance, in 2021, AMD solid into the automotive cockpit market by Tesla. From the automobile recreation state of affairs, AMD has tailor-made for Tesla an clever cockpit SoC carrying a client recreation graphics card.
In addition to abroad chip bellwethers, Chinese language chip corporations similar to AutoChips, SemiDrive, Rockchip, Horizon Robotics and SiEngine have additionally joined the battlefield as impartial chip distributors, which reshapes the automotive chip business sample. In 2021, native corporations in China competed to introduce self-developed new merchandise for a spot within the cockpit SoC market.
In April 2021, SemiDrive unveiled X9U, a flagship cockpit SoC product with complete CPU computing energy as much as 100KDMIPS, 3D graphics efficiency as much as 300GFLOPS, and AI computing energy as much as 1.2TOPS. In December 2021, SiEngine, Geely’s automotive chip designer, launched Longying No.1, a 7nm clever cockpit chip topic to AEC-Q100 Grade 3 automotive normal. It’s an equal of Qualcomm 8155 and is projected to be produced in portions within the third quarter of 2022.
In late December 2021, Rockchip, a specialist in design and growth of AIoT processors, launched a variety of automotive cockpit electronics, together with automotive cockpit SoCs similar to RK3358M, RK3568M and RK3588M, and grouped PMIC chips RK809M and RK806M, which give prospects with high-, mid- and low-end cockpit chip options with completely different efficiency.
Rockchip’s flagship automotive cockpit SoC RK3588M adopts 8nm course of and high-performance Octa-core CPU and GPU. With CPU computing energy of 100K DMIPS, GPU computing energy of 512GFLOPS, and NPU AI computing energy of 6TOPS, this chip allows hybrid, quantitative, multi-model parallel computing. It gives AI processing capabilities comparable with edge computing containers, and realizes capabilities similar to one-core multi-screen.
As well as, in 2021, some abroad corporations additionally launched new cockpit SoC merchandise to stabilize or break by the market sample. For instance, in July 2021, Renesas launched a brand new collection of R-Automobile Gen3e SoCs, overlaying six new merchandise, that are relevant to built-in cockpit area management and different areas and scheduled to be mass-produced in 2022; in November 2021, Samsung launched Exynos Auto V7, a brand new ASIL-B security standard-compliant SoC for mid-to-high-end clever cockpit programs, which has been utilized to Volkswagen’s on-board pc ICAS3.1
Cockpit SoC Firms Flexibly Modify Their Methods to Cope With the Altering Clever Automobile Market Amid the Provide Chain Reconstruction and Enterprise Mannequin Shift
Chips want {hardware} and software program to play their position. Software program weighs extra closely in automobile market within the context of software program outlined automobiles. Lately, chip distributors have been reworking from {hardware} suppliers into service suppliers, that’s, they not simply promote chip and {hardware} merchandise and have gotten right down to growing {hardware} + software program and even full system options.
Amongst them, Nvidia has rolled out full protocol stacks. Nvidia which solely bought chips previously gives the DRIVE IX full protocol stack for cockpits along with the DRIVE AV full protocol stack for autonomous driving. DRIVE IX begins with Orin chips for autonomous driving, and likewise integrates earlier Parker and Xavier.
In September 2021, Renesas unveiled the R-Automobile Software program Improvement Package (SDK), an entire software program platform in a single package deal that permits faster and simpler software program growth and validation for sensible cameras. Renesas can be growing a cross-platform, reusable and scalable software program platform.
Apart from, as clever automobiles advance and software-defined automobiles arrive, automotive enterprise fashions are making a fairly change. Sooner or later customers will care about iteratively upgraded software program companies greater than typical wants once they purchase a automobile. This additionally drives change to the cockpit SoC provide relationship. OEMs not solely want cockpit SoC distributors to offer authentic merchandise however require them to fulfill customization wants and provide software program capabilities appropriate with OEMs or suppliers.
Chips have been traded to automakers by Tier1s previously, however now this oblique partnership is being changed by presumably direct cooperation between chip distributors and OEMs. A brand new provide mannequin the place software program and {hardware} are custom-made and co-developed has turned up.
