SHENZHEN, China, Aug. 8, 2024 - In a strategic move to empower automakers with groundbreaking opportunities, Intel unveiled its first discrete graphics processing unit (dGPU), the Intel® Arc™ Graphics for Automotive, at its AI Cockpit Innovation Experience event.
To advance automotive AI, the product will be commercially deployed in vehicles as soon as 2025, accelerating automobile technology and unlocking a new era of AI-driven cockpit experiences and enhanced personalization for manufacturers and drivers alike.
Discrete Power, Scalable Platform
Intel's entry into automotive discrete GPUs addresses growing demand for compute power in increasingly sophisticated vehicle cockpits. By adding the Intel Arc graphics for Automotive to its existing portfolio of AI-enhanced software-defined vehicle (SDV) system-on-chips (SoCs), Intel offers automakers an open, flexible and scalable platform solution that brings next-level, high-fidelity experiences to the vehicle.
Automakers can now design a single vehicle platform that scales across trim levels. Entry and mid-level models can leverage the Intel SDV SoC, while higher-end vehicles can benefit from the added horsepower of the dGPU for even more premium features. This approach streamlines development as software is fully compatible across the integrated GPU and the discrete GPU.
Intel's Vision: A Human-Centric Automotive Future
Intel's AI Cockpit Experience showcased a future where in-vehicle AI creates intuitive and personalized interactions among the driver, passengers and vehicle that can personalize the ride and optimize the drive.
"Intel's strategy is to bring the power of AI into devices of every size and shape, and we're thrilled to bring that expertise and our vast open AI ecosystem to the automotive industry," said Jack Weast, vice president and general manager of Intel Automotive. "China's rapid electric vehicle development cycles and advanced technological adoption make it an ideal testing ground for our next-generation technologies."
Key features of Intel's AI cockpit solution:
Building Blocks for The Future
Intel provides the building blocks for a future where driving is smarter, safer and more personalized than ever. The increased compute power offered by the dGPU opens a world of possibilities for automakers to differentiate their brands today. With the added confidence, they are ready to deliver a new level of AI-driven experiences to their customers tomorrow.
Intel aims to be the go-to partner for automakers. The company's XPU strategy, robust AI accelerator software ecosystem and optimization capabilities provide a strong foundation for innovation in the automotive space.
