Mobileye Announces Three New Chips to Boost Autonomous Driving
At CES in Las Vegas on January 4th, 2022, Mobileye announced the launch of three new chips.
According to Mobileye, EyeQ Ultra is the most powerful chip to date specifically designed for autonomous driving. EyeQ Ultra achieves energy efficiency under 176 TOPS and is built based on the 7th generation EyeQ chip technology architecture. This chip offers performance and power consumption that caters to the needs of autonomous vehicles, especially electric ones.
EyeQ Ultra’s performance is equivalent to that of ten EyeQ 5 chips combined. Leveraging a 5nm process, EyeQ Ultra can meet all requirements and applications of L4 autonomous driving, avoiding additional power consumption and costs caused by integrating multiple system chips. Similar to the previous generation EyeQ, EyeQ Ultra is co-designed with Mobileye software, allowing the chip to achieve high energy efficiency without sacrificing performance.
EyeQ Ultra is expected to be available for delivery by the end of 2023 and enter full vehicle regulation-level production in 2025.
In addition to the EyeQ Ultra chip, two new system integrated chips for driving assistance systems were also launched at CES — EyeQ 6L and EyeQ 6H.
EyeQ 6L is the successor to EyeQ 4, with a packaging size of only 55% of EyeQ 4. The chip has been available for sampling since last year and is expected to enter mass production in mid-2023, supporting L2 level driving assistance systems.
EyeQ 6H can achieve advanced ADAS and partial autonomous driving capabilities through a full perimetric camera configuration. In terms of computing power, it is equivalent to two EyeQ 5 system integrated chips. However, EyeQ 6H performs better in high load and supports visualization. This centralized solution provides all L2+ ADAS features, including multi-camera processing capabilities such as parking cameras, and can support third-party applications such as visualization parking and driver monitoring. The chip will start offering samples this year and is expected to enter mass production by the end of 2024.[//]: # (Markdown)
Mobileye announced last month that the shipment of EyeQ system-on-chips has exceeded 100 million units. Mobileye also revealed the mass production of autonomous taxis and announced the expansion of its autonomous driving car testing scale in various cities worldwide, including the United States, Europe, and Asia.
