Samsung Electronics has teamed up with Infineon and NXP to develop next-generation automotive semiconductor technology solutions, aiming to address the rising demand for high-performance computing chips in future smart vehicles, according to a report published by TrendForce on June 5. The evolution of autonomous driving technology has driven the need for increased computing power in automotive chips. Samsung is leveraging its expertise in memory and processor technologies to introduce advanced process technologies, typically used in mobile devices, into the automotive sector.
The collaboration focuses on key developments, including the creation of automotive-grade processors using 5-nanometer process technology. It also emphasizes the codesign of memory and processors to enhance chip stability in extreme temperatures, improve real-time processing capabilities, and bolster security features. The newly developed chips will feature advanced neural processing units (NPUs) to better execute autonomous driving algorithms. Additionally, Samsung is working on more integrated system-on-chip (SoC) solutions that combine multiple functions into a single chip, thus saving space and reducing power consumption.
