Qualcomm has just announced its latest intelligent automotive platforms, the Snapdragon Cockpit Elite and Snapdragon Ride Elite. The big news here is that both systems will be powered by the company’s Oryon CPU architecture, which promises up to 3x faster CPU and 12x greater AI performance versus its predecessors, among numerous other improvements. In other words, expect better computing power for enhanced vehicular safety, automated driving data handling, and in-car infotainment.
At the Snapdragon Summit in Hawaii, Qualcomm has its new Snapdragon Cockpit Elite and Snapdragon Ride Elite automotive platforms, both powered the Qualcomm Oryon CPU architecture, on hand for all to see. Compared to the current fourth generation platforms, Snapdragon Cockpit Elite and Snapdragon Ride Elite promise more compute and AI performance, enhanced network capabilities, up to 3x more graphical performance (via an upgraded Adreno GPU), as well as increased performance for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and infotainment processing.
Qualcomm has become a leader in centralized computing for many of today’s software-defined automobiles. However, with the lean towards more AI integration with passenger interfaces and driver assistance systems, the company rebalanced their platforms to better address market needs. Nakul Duggal, group manager for Qualcomm automotive, industrial, and cloud stated in a news release, “With our strongest performing compute, graphics and AI capabilities, coupled with industry leading power efficiency and cutting-edge software enablement for digital cockpits and automated driving, these new Elite Snapdragon automotive platforms address the industry’s needs for higher compute levels, empowering automakers to redefine automotive experiences for their customers.
