In the field of new energy vehicles, autonomous driving chips are very critical!

Currently, Tesla still has the strongest autonomous driving chip among new energy vehicle brands worldwide.

Tesla’s self-developed FSD chip is currently No. 1 in the world.

Each Tesla FSD chip is equipped with two HW3.0 chips, and the computing power of a single chip reaches 72TOPS. However, the computing power of the two HW3.0 chips is not doubled, but has a global redundancy design.

To put it simply, in the FSD chip, the two HW3.0 chips are redundant with each other. If any functional area in a single chip is damaged, it can be replaced by another chip, thus greatly improving the stability of the FSD chip.

Compare Niveda's AGXX chip, the computing power of a single chip is only 30TOPS.

As for the EyeQ chip of another ME company, it is even better.

"What’s wrong with autonomous driving chips?"Anliang asked.

The self-driving chip of the Titan project is an independent design solution. It is the core value of the Titan project. The biggest reason why Anliang fully accepted the Titan project is that the Titan project has an independent design plan for the self-driving chip.

Jin Myung-eun sighed. ,"The autonomous driving chip we designed is based on the 5nm node, and the process of dark core technology cannot reach the 5nm level."

In the past, the Titan project belonged to Apple. Apple could naturally cooperate with Taichi or Sansang to produce 5-nanometer node autonomous driving chips.

However, Dream Future Graphene Technology Group is different!

Although Taichi and Sansang The company has not officially announced sanctions and cut off supply to Dream Future Graphene Technology Group, but if Dream Future Graphene Technology Group wants to produce autonomous driving chips through Taiji Electric and Sansang, it will definitely be blocked by Bald Eagle. An Liang has even already I thought about what kind of rhetoric the bald eagle would have.

According to the bald eagle's disgusting practice, the bald eagle should say that the new energy vehicles of the Titan project are suspected of threatening the national security of the bald eagle.

After all, the new energy vehicles of the Titan project will inevitably be equipped with cameras and millimeter waves. Radar detection systems, etc., these things will become means of stealing information in the mouth of the bald eagle.

"Is there any solution? An Liang asked, and added,"I want to hear feasible solutions!"

Jin Ming'en responded,"Don't worry, Mr. An, we have an alternative plan.""

"We have two alternatives."Kim Myung-eun explained,"Although our self-driving chips are designed according to the 5-nanometer process, we can use the 7-nanometer process or the 14-nanometer process to manufacture self-driving chips."

"According to the strength of dark core technology, there will definitely be no problems with the 14-nanometer process for autonomous driving chips. As for the 7-nanometer process for autonomous driving chips, the yield rate should be relatively low." Jin Ming'en added.

Jin Ming'en added,"Although the comprehensive performance of the autonomous driving chip we designed will decrease and the energy consumption will increase when using the 7-nanometer process or the 14-nanometer process, we also have compensation solutions.."

More advanced chip manufacturing processes tend to bring higher performance and lower energy consumption.

Just like mobile phone chips.

Every time the mobile phone chip update process, the performance of the mobile phone chip will be further improved and the energy consumption will be reduced. For example, Apple's mobile phones have this development pattern.

Jin Ming'en added,"If we choose the 7-nanometer process solution, the yield rate at the 7-nanometer process node based on dark core technology will be less than 70%. In addition, With the increasing complexity of autonomous driving chips, I am worried that the yield rate will further decline, thereby significantly increasing chip costs."

"If you choose the 14nm process solution, the yield rate of dark core technology is as high as 93%. Although autonomous driving chips are very complex, the 14nm node process is very mature, so the yield rate can be guaranteed." Jin Ming'en explained the advantages of the 14-nanometer process.

An Liang grasped the key point,"What is the gap between them in terms of performance?"

Jin Ming-en cited data and explained,"If the performance of our autonomous driving chip designed based on the 5-nanometer process is set to 100 points, then the performance score for the 7-nanometer process will only be about 70 points; for the 14-nanometer process, the performance score will be about Only 35 points"

"Dropped so much?"An Liang frowned.

Jin Mingen responded affirmatively,"The two processes of 14 nanometers and 7 nanometers are very different. There is indeed a very big gap in performance. Mr. An, you can refer to the situation of mobile phone chips. Most mobile phone chips start from 14 nanometers. When upgrading to the 7-nanometer process, the performance is basically improved by 100%."

Still taking Apple's mobile phone chip as an example, the A10 chip uses a 16nm process technology. The 16nm process technology is actually the same as the 14nm process technology, it's just a digital game. The subsequent A12 processor is the world's first A mobile phone chip using a 7-nanometer process is equivalent to twice the performance of the A10 processor.

Although the A12 is indeed more advanced in design, the process cannot be ignored.

"Since the performance gap is so huge, what are your remedies?"An Liang asked.
