Samsung Electronics will provide its newest automotive chips to power Hyundai Motor cars' infotainment system, the duo's first collaboration in auto chip solutions.
 
The chipmaker said on Wednesday that the Exynos Auto V920 is the next-generation in-vehicle infotainment processor. The chip is tailored for automobiles, providing driving information in real-time and high-quality graphic footage for rear seat entertainment systems that is on par with graphics on high-spec games.
 
The delivery time is set for 2025.
 
The third-generation processor supports the advanced low-power Double Data Rate 5 chip, which enables the efficient management of up to six high-resolution displays for dashboard and infotainment, and up to 12 camera sensors capturing visual information. 
 
The central processing unit of the latest processor is made of 10 cores, developed by British chip designer ARM, with an improvement in performance that is 1.7 higher than the previous model. 
 
"Significant improvements have been made to the processor’s graphics and artificial intelligence performance, enhancing the visual presentation on displays and optimizing driver interaction with in-car information," the company said in a statement. 
 
These improvements include the next-generation Graphics Processing Unit, which at its maximum doubles the processing ability compared to the previous model, providing a higher-quality Graphical User Interface. 
 
The performance ability of the processor's Neural Processing Unit is 2.7 times better compared to the previous model, as well as a safer driving experience thanks to enhanced driver monitoring features that better detect the driver's condition and swiftly assess the vehicle's surroundings.
 
Exynos Auto V920’s safety system supports Automotive Safety Integrity Level, a risk classification standard for automotive components defined by the International Organization for Standardization. The levels are categorized under A, B, C and D based on the probability and acceptability of harm, with A representing the lowest degree and D the highest degree of automotive hazard.
 
“We are thrilled to be collaborating with Hyundai Motor, a prominent global mobility manufacturer, and we anticipate that this partnership will further solidify our position in the automotive infotainment space,” said Jae Geol Pyee, Executive Vice President of Sales & Marketing, System LSI Business at Samsung Electronics. “Through close collaboration with our global customers and ecosystem partners, we will continue to create state-of-the-art automotive chip solutions that offer a safe and enjoyable mobility experience.”
