Following the Instinct MI300X, AMD has launched two in car AI chips

　　Recently, at the CES 2024 exhibition, processor giant AMD showcased its latest innovative achievements in the automotive industry, officially announcing the launch of two automotive grade chips, namely the Ryzen embedded V2000A for the smart cockpit and the Versal AI Edge XA adaptive chip for ADAS, further expanding its strength in automotive chip applications.

　　It is worth mentioning that the Versal AI Edge XA adaptive SoC is AMD's first 7nm device to obtain automotive certification, introducing powerful intellectual property rights and enhanced safety features for safety first automotive applications. In addition, the Ryzen embedded V2000A series processors have driven the development of the next generation of automotive digital cockpits.

　　It is reported that between 2024 and 2030. the number of high-level assisted driving vehicles shipped annually will grow at a compound annual growth rate of 41%, providing healthy growth opportunities for heterogeneous SoC suppliers with strong and efficient AI computing capabilities, including AMD Versal AI Edge XA.

　　Intelligent cockpit chip Ryzen embedded V2000A series

　　The two AMD chips have different focuses. The Ryzen embedded V2000A series processor can provide assistance for the next generation of automotive digital cockpit. This chip is based on 7nm technology, "Zen 2" core, and high-performance AMD Radeon Vega 7 graphics card, providing a new level of performance. The company points out that entertainment, connectivity, workplace on wheels, and safety have become key factors affecting consumer car purchases. AMD stated that V2000A will enable car manufacturers to provide impressive performance and multitasking for infotainment and IVX systems, so that passengers can stay in touch while on the go.

　　In addition to supporting Automotive Grade Linux and Android Automotive, the V2000A series processors can also provide high-definition graphics, enhanced security features, and automotive software supported by virtual machine management programs.

　　Versal AI Edge XA Adaptive SoC

　　AMD's Versal AI Edge XA adaptive SoC will be equipped with advanced AI engines for AI computing, vision, and signal processing. This will enable the device to be further optimized for numerous next-generation advanced automotive systems and applications, including front facing cameras, in car monitoring, LiDAR, 4D radar, surround view, automatic parking, and autonomous driving.

　　James Hodgson, research director of ABI Research, said: "In the future, automobile manufacturers will use autonomous vehicle applications to shape their brand image. Because these applications rely heavily on artificial intelligence, automobile manufacturers need a computing platform that can provide powerful and efficient artificial intelligence computing." Hodgson believes that the number of high-level auxiliary driving vehicles shipped each year will grow at a compound annual growth rate of 41% from 2024 to 2030. This provides a healthy growth opportunity for heterogeneous SoC suppliers with strong and efficient AI computing capabilities, including AMD Versal AI Edge XA.

　　The Versal AI Edge XA adaptive SoC will also become the first AMD 7nm device to be automatically certified and integrate security into the chip. This platform is designed to extend BOM to various ADAS/AD sensors and functional packages. AMD will deliver the first batch of equipment in early 2024 and plans to release more devices later this year.

　　In the field of intelligent cockpit chips, competition is particularly fierce. As early as 2023. MediaTek announced a collaboration with NVIDIA to develop an integrated CPU chip for automotive SoC, providing a complete set of in car artificial intelligence cockpit solutions for the next generation of software defined cars; After landing in Tesla's cockpit, AMD has reached a cooperation agreement with Yikatong in the field of intelligent cockpit, accelerating its layout in the Chinese intelligent cockpit market; Xinchi Technology launched a heavily upgraded full scene cockpit processor X9SP at the Shanghai Auto Show in April. At the 2024 CES exhibition, the addition of AMD's latest cockpit chip means that in the 7nm process field, there will be new chips that have passed vehicle certification on board.
