Make up? |? Liumao

Car matter 165438+ 10/0 news, a few days ago, foreign netizen Patrick? Shure broke the news, saying that Tesla hopes to put AMD's Navi? The core of 23 graphics card is applied to its own in-vehicle infotainment system.

According to public reports, as the core component of GPU chip, Navi? 23 will be built based on the second generation RDNA architecture, and its performance will be stronger.

At first, Tesla was in the computing center MCU(Media? Control? Unit) uses Tegra chips from NVIDIA. After that, Tesla turned to cooperate with Intel. Now it seems that in order to pursue more powerful computing performance, Tesla turned its attention to AMD.

First, well-known netizens broke the news: Tesla will put Navi? 23 Suitable for automobiles.

Patrick, a well-known whistleblower and Twitter user who signed up as a software engineer? Shure tweeted the other day, "Tesla wants to use Navi in their car? 23"。

In the subsequent message to netizens, Patrick? Shure confirmed it, Navid? 23 will be used in infotainment systems.

As of press time, Tesla and AMD have not adopted Navi? Comment on the 23 rd incident. Therefore, it is not clear when Tesla will switch to Navi-based MCU. 23-core GPU chip.

Twitter users broke the news

Second, foreign media forecast? Transfer to Navid? Or run more games.

According to foreign media electrek, Tesla initially established cooperation with NVIDIA in the supply of MCU chips, using Tegra chips from NVIDIA. Since then, Tesla's partner has moved from NVIDIA to Intel. Judging from the news of this exposure, Tesla's vision has changed again, but this time it is AMD.

Earlier, it was reported that Navid? 23 will be built based on AMD's second-generation RDNA architecture, and may be equipped with 32~40 sets of CU units.

In fact, foreign media have predicted that Tesla's cooperation with AMD this time is to enhance the performance of the in-vehicle infotainment system, so that car owners and passengers can play more games on the central control screen.

Conclusion: on the chip, Tesla is a two-pronged research and procurement.

Cars will become computers on wheels. In order to win the competition, automakers including Tesla need to constantly pursue more powerful performance.

Therefore, Tesla hopes that the in-vehicle infotainment system can perform better, so it is not surprising that the cooperative manufacturers and chips have been replaced many times.

What's more noteworthy is that Tesla is still developing its own chips in addition to purchasing the latest technologies from other chip manufacturers. At present, there are many mature products of computing chips for in-vehicle infotainment systems on the market, which are convenient for car companies to purchase directly; In contrast, there are not many mature products of autonomous driving chips. From this perspective, Tesla's self-developed procurement strategy also helps to maximize benefits.
