Intel today launched a new family of AI-powered automotive processors (SDV SoCs).
The automotive market is one of the markets where Intel expects AI to have a major impact and transformation in the automotive world. Intel's focus on the automotive AI market is reflected in its acquisition of Silicon Mobility SAS, a design and manufacturing company. Production of SoC semiconductor chips to improve energy management in electric vehicles using artificial intelligence.
The acquisition, which was announced hours ago without further details, would enhance Intel's ability to use artificial intelligence technology to improve the efficiency of energy management in electric vehicles.
The acquisition announcement coincides with Intel's announcement of a partnership with the brand owned by Jelly Zicker to become the first original equipment manufacturer (OEM) to use Intel processors (SDV SoCs).
Intel and the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) also announced the formation of a committee to develop industry standards for electric vehicle energy management, chaired by Intel.
Companies-on-a-chip play a key role in powering car cockpits and entertainment systems, as well as safety measures such as radars, cameras and LiDAR, a remote sensing method used to inspect road surfaces for autonomous vehicles.
The task of AI and SoC processors is to analyze data in real time, accurately assess differences in decision-making, and ensure the safety of cars and drivers.
1st generation Intel SDV SoC with up to 12 cores and power consumption ranging from 12 to 45 W. These processors also feature an integrated GPU (Arc Xe) that supports four independent displays with up to 8K resolution. Due to the automotive industry's stringent safety standards, the SDV Series SoC is AEC-Q100 certified.
