On January 7, Qualcomm officially released its new autopilot computing platform, snapdragonride. The platform includes security system level chip, security accelerator and autopilot software stack, which can meet the computing requirements of the highest L4 / L5 autopilot. Qualcomm announced that the platform will be delivered to automobile manufacturers and first tier suppliers for preliminary development in the first half of 2020, and the vehicles carrying the platform are expected to be put into mass proction in 2023

interpretation: as early as 2012, Qualcomm entered the automotive chip field. Up to now, the cumulative amount of orders from Qualcomm in the automotive sector has reached $7 billion, up from $6.5 billion two months ago

however, the previous chips were all communication and entertainment chips. At the press conference, Qualcomm disclosed that it has been more than four years since it launched the autopilot chip. In 2017, Qualcomm obtained the license of automatic driving test in California. The purpose of this test is to verify its chip

currently, one of the biggest pain points of autopilot chips is that it is difficult to achieve the balance between computing power and power consumption. From the beginning, Qualcomm decided to make use of its accumulation in the mobile phone chip instry to make high computing power and low power ASIC chips. Snapdragonride, the L4 level automatic driving computing platform released by Qualcomm, is equipped with two self-developed automatic driving processors ml (ASIC), GPU and CPU

snapdragonride platform can achieve the highest computing power of 700tops with 130W power consumption. If this plan can be realized, then Qualcomm's automatic driving scheme is quite competitive in terms of computing power. For example, compared with the 144tops / 72W of Tesla hardware3.0, the energy efficiency advantage of Qualcomm's procts is obvious

among the mass proction schemes, Huawei's mdc600 has the strongest computing power, with 352tops computing power and 352w power consumption; Next is NVIDIA's drivepegasus, with 320tops computing power and 500W power consumption

according to the plan, the computing power of agxorin, the computing platform of Orin based on the next autopilot chip, can reach 2000tops, but the power consumption can also reach 750W, which can hardly be applied to mass proction vehicles

in contrast, Qualcomm's autopilot computing platform does not need a fan or liquid cooling system, but uses a simpler passive air cooling system to achieve higher reliability

snapdragonride platform also reces the number of chips and turns them into L2-L3 automatic driving solutions with computing power of 60-120tops or ADAS solutions with computing power of 30tops. At this CES, Qualcomm and GM reached a cooperation on ADAS business

in terms of business model, Qualcomm's approach is relatively open. It can provide full stack solutions, or only sell chips, algorithms and sensor solutions, which can be handled by customers themselves

in the future, v2x chip will also be one of the important revenue sources of Qualcomm in the automotive business

in addition, through its car to cloudservice, Qualcomm also provides technical support for car companies in cloud computing and Ota. It is worth mentioning that its car to cloudsoftsku supports the security upgrade of chipsets

4. Huawei has many sources of capital, including government investment, national projects, regional projects, venture capital, plus profits, etc; Both Qualcomm and apple have specialized chip R & D teams, so the initial capital investment of Huawei is not necessary. Huawei chip design should avoid the existing intellectual property rights, and expect to surpass the existing chip design, so it needs more investment.

Recently, according to relevant media reports, Qualcomm has been allowed to supply 4G chips to China. Previously, Huawei's chip supply was in trouble e to the impact of sanctions. Due to the lack of mobile phone chips, according to the report of canalys, an investigation agency, Huawei's global mobile phone shipment in the third quarter was 51.7 million, down 23% year on year, ranking second and being overtaken by Samsung

but independent research and development of chips is not just a matter of a certain brand or a certain automobile enterprise, and the growth of the instry needs the concerted efforts of many parties. At present, China's autonomous driving technology and chip research and development still have a long way to go. If there are more enterprises like Zero run, which focus on core technology research and development, this road may be easier, and the future of China's automobile instry is also worth looking forward to

8. With the rapid development of economy, China pays more attention to the chip instry than ever before. From 2015 to 2016, the number of Chinese chip design enterprises increased sharply from 736 to 1362. In 2017, the total number of domestic chip design enterprises reached 1380, accounting for 14.5% of the world. In recent years, the state and enterprises have increased investment in "China chip" and made some achievements in chip R & D. China's independent R & D "chips" have also come out one after another

chip is a knowledge intensive instry, so it is not urgent to make chips. So what are the representative "chips" made in China so far< The first general-purpose CPU in China, Loongson, has been mentioned by the Institute of computing, Chinese Academy of Sciences. The processor procts developed by Loongson include Loongson No.1, Loongson No.2 and Loongson No.3, covering small, medium and large CPU procts

loongson-1 is a general-purpose CPU and the first general-purpose CPU in China. It uses RISC instruction set. On August 10, 2002, the first loongson-1 Loongson xia50 was successfully taped. The frequency of loongson-1 is 266MHz< On April 18, 2005, loongson-2 was successfully developed. The highest frequency of loongson-2 is 1GHz. Using 0.18 micron technology, its actual performance is equivalent to that of pentium-4 at 1GHz, which is 10 to 15 times of that of loongson-1. Loongson-2 prototype can run a complete 64 bit Chinese Linux operating system, full-featured Mozilla browser, multimedia player and open office office suite, and has the basic functions of desktop PC< The Loongson 3 series includes Loongson 3a and Loongson 3B. The operating frequency of Loongson 3A ranges from 900MHz to 1GHz. It is the first domestic commercial 4-core processor with a peak computing power of 16gflops. Loongson 3b is the first domestic commercial 8-core processor with 1GHz main frequency, accelerated support vector operation, 128gflops peak computing power and high performance / power ratio

Loongson is not only addicted to the laboratory's "chip procts", it has been successfully taped and applied on the Beidou satellite launched by China in 2015

there is a gap between Loongson procts and mainstream CPUs in terms of performance, especially in terms of computing power and power consumption. It is impossible for Loongson procts to compete with Intel procts. However, with the enhancement of domestic R & D strength, there is great room for improvement in the future, so it is not impossible to seize the domestic market< 2. Jm5400, the first domestic GPU with completely independent intellectual property rights, has always been a "core disease" in China and has been monopolized by NVIDIA and other foreign enterprises for a long time. In April 2014, Jingjia microelectronics successfully developed the first domestic graphics processing chip with completely independent intellectual property rights - jm5400, which has achieved or better than commonly used foreign procts in many aspects

jm5400 adopts 65nm CMOS process, the maximum clock frequency of the kernel is 550MHz, and the maximum clock frequency of the memory is 800MHz. The software is configurable. Two groups of DDR3 memories are packaged on chip, each with 32 bits in width, and a total capacity of 1GB. The power consumption does not exceed 6W. The internal function moles can be turned off independently, which can further rece the power consumption. FCBGA 1331 pin, MCM package< Jm5400 was successfully taped in May 2014, which can be widely used in graphics generation and display fields with high reliability requirements. It can meet the functional and performance requirements of graphics system in airborne, shipborne and vehicle environment, and fully replace M9, m54, M72, M96, imx6 and other foreign chips. At present, jm5400 has been determined to be used in a number of national major projects such as Shenzhou spaceship. This "Chinese core" will be widely used in domestic computers in the future< It is reported that jm7000, the upgraded version of jm5400, has been successfully developed and taped. It adopts more advanced 28nm technology in hardware, increases the capacity of on-chip video memory and integrates CPU core. In terms of function, the hardware HD decoding capability is increased, higher version of OpenGL is supported, and higher speed bus interface is supported. In terms of performance, the image processing capacity is increased by more than 2 times, and the bus bandwidth is increased by hundreds of times

as a proct with special significance, jm5400 can't be compared with NVIDIA's procts in terms of performance, but it is still worth encouraging. I hope it can occupy China's GPU market as soon as possible and break the foreign monopoly<

3. Hisilicon Qilin 970 chip, the world's first intelligent mobile phone AI computing platform with built-in independent NPU

Huawei Hisilicon is a semiconctor company, formerly known as Huawei integrated circuit design center, which has attracted much attention e to its independent research and development of Qilin chip. Hisilicon Qilin 970 chip is a domestic chip proct with cross era significance

the biggest feature of Kirin 970 chip is that it has set up a special AI hardware processing unit NPU (neural network) to process massive AI data. It adopts TSMC 10nm process and adopts hIaI mobile computing architecture for the first time. Its AI performance density is much better than CPU and GPU. When processing the same AI tasks, it has the advantages of high performance and low cost, Kirin 970's new heterogeneous computing architecture has about 50 times energy efficiency and 25 times performance advantages

on October 16, 2017, at the electronics show in Munich, Germany, Huawei released the first mobile phone mate 10 with Kirin 970. This year, Huawei disclosed to the media the upgraded version of Huawei's Kirin 970 chip, the Kirin 980 chip, which has a higher performance. It is reported that it adopts TSMC's 7Nm technology, carries Cambrian 1m artificial intelligence NPU, integrates the latest a77 core architecture of arm, and has a maximum dominant frequency of 2.8GhZ.

In the past two days, the masses in Europe, as well as those in the north and south of China, have been jumping back and forth between great joy and great sorrow

for example, in China, both SAIC Volkswagen and FAW Volkswagen want the right to start id.4, so they decided to go hand in hand. The two brothers graally began to stabilize after the drum brake storm. Now that the new car has arrived at the store, we will visit the store in the near future. You can also look forward to it

in line with the principle of "if you can't beat him, you will become him", I boldly suggest that you two join Tesla and strive for the cause of electrification. Maybe you can become the most attractive people in 2021

To sum up, the public is also magical. Id.3 is in full swing here, id.4 is ready to go into China, DIS is struggling there, Thomas leaves. As soon as these two people leave, who knows how to change Volkswagen's new energy and electrification strategy next year

but in any case, this year Volkswagen also resisted the epidemic, launched id.3, id.4 brothers and other heavy new energy vehicles, and successfully carried out the electrification route; The responsibility for the emission gate incident is also being borne. As a famous auto manufacturer in the world, we believe that Volkswagen's downturn is only temporary. Let's look forward to Volkswagen's performance next year
