Advanced digital cockpit will be powered by AMD Ryzen™ Embedded V2000 Processor and AMD Radeon™ RX 6000 Series GPUs

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Aug. 04, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) today announ­ced a stra­te­gic col­la­bo­ra­ti­on with ECARX, a glo­bal mobi­li­ty tech com­pa­ny. The com­pa­nies will work tog­e­ther on an in-vehic­le com­pu­ting plat­form for next-gene­ra­ti­on elec­tric vehic­les (EVs), expec­ted to be in mass pro­duc­tion for glo­bal roll­out in late 2023. The ECARX digi­tal cock­pit will be the first in-vehic­le plat­form to be offe­red with AMD Ryzen Embedded V2000 pro­ces­sors and AMD Rade­on RX 6000 Series GPUs along with ECARX hard­ware and software.

Com­bi­ning the exten­si­ve expe­ri­ence in auto­mo­ti­ve digi­tal cock­pit design of ECARX with AMD advan­ced com­pu­ting power and stun­ning visu­al gra­phic ren­de­ring capa­bi­li­ties, the com­pa­nies aim to deli­ver an inno­va­ti­ve in-car expe­ri­ence. The digi­tal cock­pit will launch with advan­ced fea­tures inclu­ding dri­ver infor­ma­ti­on mode, heads-up dis­play, rear seat enter­tain­ment, mul­ti­ple-dis­plays, mul­ti-zone voice reco­gni­ti­on, high-end gam­ing and a full 3D user experience.

“As car com­pa­nies seek to deli­ver immersi­ve expe­ri­en­ces and intel­li­gent fea­tures for their next-gene­ra­ti­on elec­tric vehic­les, the AMD-powered ECARX digi­tal cock­pit will address the­se needs for the glo­bal auto­mo­ti­ve mar­ket,” said Raj­nee­sh Gaur, cor­po­ra­te vice pre­si­dent and gene­ral mana­ger, Embedded Busi­ness, AMD. “We are exci­ted to work with ECARX as our first stra­te­gic eco­sys­tem part­ner in Chi­na for the digi­tal cock­pit using our Ryzen Embedded V2000 pro­ces­sors and Rade­on RX 6000 Series GPUs.”

“The glo­bal auto­mo­ti­ve indus­try is trans­forming towards an intel­li­gent future at an unpre­ce­den­ted pace with demand for com­pu­ting power and gra­phics capa­bi­li­ties rapidly incre­asing,” said Ziyu Shen, Chair­man and CEO of ECARX. “With this col­la­bo­ra­ti­on, we will fur­ther enable OEMs and tier 1 sup­pli­ers to enhan­ce their digi­tal cock­pit expe­ri­en­ces as they seek to crea­te grea­ter con­su­mer value through intel­li­gent con­nec­ted cars.”

The auto­mo­ti­ve EV mar­ket, as well as the tech­no­lo­gy requi­red to sup­port it, repres­ents an unpre­ce­den­ted growth oppor­tu­ni­ty in the years ahead accor­ding to ana­lyst firm, Stra­tegy Ana­ly­tics. “EV adop­ti­on is now a key under­ly­ing fac­tor for growth in the auto­mo­ti­ve semi­con­duc­tor mar­ket and the asso­cia­ted semi­con­duc­tor demand is fore­cast to grow at a CAAGR of 31% over 2021 — 2026,” said Asif Anwar, exe­cu­ti­ve direc­tor – PBCS and EVS, Stra­tegy Ana­ly­tics. “The EV revo­lu­ti­on is here, with next-gene­ra­ti­on EV plat­forms at the lea­ding edge of domain- and zonal-based archi­tec­tu­re dri­ving adop­ti­on of the digi­tal cock­pit, ADAS and the con­nec­ted vehicle.”

About AMD Ryzen Embedded V2000 Processors

The Ryzen Embedded V2000 Series pro­ces­sors are the second gene­ra­ti­on desi­gned for auto­mo­ti­ve in-vehic­le info­tain­ment and instru­men­ta­ti­on appli­ca­ti­ons, plus addi­tio­nal appli­ca­ti­ons such as indus­tri­al edge, thin cli­ent, and miniPC sys­tems. For cus­to­mers and appli­ca­ti­ons that need high-per­for­mance dis­play capa­bi­li­ties, the Ryzen Embedded V2000 Series pro­ces­sors can power up to four inde­pen­dent dis­plays simul­ta­neous­ly in 4K reso­lu­ti­on as it is equip­ped with up to eight CPU cores and seven GPU com­pu­te units. A sin­gle AMD Ryzen Embedded V2000 Series pro­ces­sor pro­vi­des up to 2x¹ the mul­ti-threa­ded per­for­mance-per-watt, up to 30 per­cent² bet­ter sin­gle-thread CPU per­for­mance and up to 40 per­cent³ bet­ter gra­phics per­for­mance over the pre­vious generation.

About AMD Rade­on RX 6000 Series GPUs

AMD Rade­on RX 6000 Series GPUs are built upon the breakth­rough AMD RDNA™ 2 gra­phics archi­tec­tu­re, the only gra­phics archi­tec­tu­re that spans from next-gene­ra­ti­on desk­top PCs, lap­tops and con­so­les to mobi­le devices and auto­mo­ti­ve info­tain­ment sys­tems. Engi­nee­red from the ground up for supe­ri­or per­for­mance and power effi­ci­en­cy, AMD RDNA 2 archi­tec­tu­re offers up to 2x hig­her per­for­mance⁴ and up to 50 per­cent more per­for­mance-per-watt⁵ in sel­ect titles com­pared to the pre­vious-gene­ra­ti­on AMD RDNA architecture.
