The automotive cockpit chip market is in fierce competition, MediaTek + Nvidia want to surpass Qualcomm

During the auto show, the debut of the 3nm Dimensity automotive cockpit platform CT-X1 caused quite a stir in the industry and was considered the number one natural enemy of its competitor 8295. Also unveiled were the Dimensity automotive cockpit platforms CT-Y1 and CT-Y0, which use a 4nm process. With the help of the Dimensity automotive cockpit platform, automakers can upgrade the intelligent experience from flagship (CT-X1) to high-end (CT-Y1, CT-Y0) models, meeting the needs of different positioning models for high computing power and strong AI.

According to AnTuTu, MediaTek demonstrated a smart cockpit solution based on CT-Y1 at the Dimensity Automotive Platform Communication Conference. As a 4nm automotive-grade chip, the AnTuTu car version has a running score of over 1.07 million, equal to Snapdragon 8295, reaching the top flagship level. The CT-X1, built with 3nm technology, was unveiled at the same time, with a performance 30% stronger than Snapdragon 8295 (a very conservative number from the architecture point of view), and AI computing power 4-5 times stronger, fully demonstrating the strength of the strongest automotive computing chip. In an era when the degree of automotive intelligence is getting higher and higher, the strongest automotive chip is Dimensity!

Industry insiders said that the rapid success of MediaTek's cockpit platform is inseparable from another industry giant, NVIDIA. With the strong alliance with NVIDIA, the leader in AI, the Dimensity automotive cockpit platform holds the two trump cards of the strongest AI and the strongest computing power for cars, which makes MediaTek likely to break the existing pattern and make MediaTek + NVIDIA > Qualcomm a new highlight in the industry. The deep integration of AI and computing technology is an inevitable trend in the development of the smart car industry.

As an old player in the automotive industry, MediaTek's Dimensity automotive platform has maintained a sustained growth momentum in the market. The global market shipments of Dimensity automotive cockpit platform have exceeded 20 million sets, and the Dimensity automotive connectivity platform has been adopted by the world's leading automakers. The shipments and market share of key components such as Dimensity automotive satellite navigation systems and power management chips continue to grow, and the progress of Dimensity automotive driving platform is also very smooth. NVIDIA is a well-known pioneer and leader in the field of artificial intelligence and computing. The two parties announced a cooperation in May last year. This cooperation fully leverages the advantages of their respective automotive product portfolios and combines the best capabilities of both parties. MediaTek develops automotive SoCs with integrated NVIDIA GPU chiplets, equipped with NVIDIA AI and graphics computing IP, to jointly provide excellent solutions for the new generation of smart cars.

A year later, a series of Dimensity automotive cockpit platform SoCs combined with AI technology were unveiled at the NVIDIA GTC conference. The C-X1, C-Y1, C-M1 and C-V1 cockpit platform chipsets that were unveiled integrated the advanced Armv9-A architecture and AI computing and NVIDIA RTX graphics processing technology accelerated by NVIDIA's next-generation GPUs, supporting deep learning functions to create a highly competitive AI cockpit experience, bringing users of all levels of vehicles a cockpit experience far beyond the past.

In the mobile phone market, you can always trust the performance of MediaTek CPUs. Combined with NVIDIA's top AI and GPU graphics technology, the two parties have jointly created a powerful and feature-rich AI cockpit solution that is enough to dominate the entire cockpit chip industry. At the same time, as leading players in the field of AI, the two parties have worked together in automotive AI to lead the continued development of the AI-defined cockpit era. Under the trend of cockpit integration in the future, the cooperation between the two parties based on the ecosystem of high-computing AI and high-capability AI is undoubtedly more efficient and is the optimal solution for the upgrading of the smart cockpit industry.

Today, new energy vehicles are leading the global trend, and China's new energy vehicles are rising strongly. In the long run, the entire automobile market has huge growth potential. Facing the general trend of AI-defined automobiles, the in-depth cooperation of technology giants has demonstrated a strong market influence, which poses a considerable challenge to MediaTek's competitors. It is the fierce competition in products and technologies that is the driving force behind the continuous innovation and development of the automobile industry.
