The smart cockpit field also needs "It's rolled up to the sky"!

Just last night, Yikatong released four new products in Wuhan, namely the intelligent cockpit computing platform Antora 1000, Antora 1000 Pro, and the global The cockpit platform Makalu and the central computing brain Super Brain.

▲Ekatong has released four products in a row

Antola 1000 and Antola 1000 Pro are smart cockpit products jointly developed by Ekatong and Xinqing Technology. The capabilities of the Dragon Eagle No. 1 chip have been fully utilized, making the product performance reach the leading level in the industry.

Makaru, on the other hand, directly released a technological nuclear bomb, integrating AMD Ryzen Embedded V2000, which can play 3A masterpieces directly on the car, which is close to Tesla.

Super Brain, the central computing brain, is Ekatong’s first product that supports cabin-driving integration. It can support up to NOA, which can help car companies reduce development costs and realize smart driving and smart cockpits within limited investment. double promotion.

Generally speaking, Yikatong’s press conference tonight is indeed very informative. During the press conference of more than an hour, Shen Ziyu, chairman and CEO of Yikatong, showed off the four products almost non-stop. This product also shows Yikatong’s continuous investment in intelligence.

And these products are also very competitive. As these products gradually enter the market, competition in the global smart cockpit field is also increasing. It will be more intense. 1. Two consecutive cockpit platforms have won mass production projects

Antola uses the Dragon Eagle 1 chip, which has an advanced 7nm process, uses a multi-core heterogeneous computing power cluster, and uses 8 The core CPU, 14-core GPU and programmable NPU can provide 100K DMIPS computing power and 900G FLOPS graphics rendering capabilities. It integrates high-performance programmable NPU and multiple acceleration engines, and has the characteristics of high performance and low power consumption.

Longying One also adopts an independent hardware safety island design to achieve full-link functional safety of hardware and reduce development time and costs.

This product is also the first to be equipped with LPDDR5, which increases the data transmission speed by 50% and the data transmission bandwidth by 50%. It can also reduce power consumption by 10% and supports 6400MHz and up to 16GB. Highest specification.

In order to make the hardware work better, Yikatong also released the Cloudpeak software system simultaneously, which can better take advantage of the hardware. Cloudpeak is a product for the world and is a product jointly developed by Yikatong and Volvo.

Antola is mainly divided into two products, namely Antola 1000 and Antola 1000 Pro.

Antola 1000 has made efficient integration. The module pins are reduced by 40% compared to the SoC patch, which reduces the difficulty of production; the motherboard is reduced from 12 layers of second-order blind burial to 8 layers of through holes. , the area was reduced by 10%. On the other hand, this product reduces a large number of components, reduces PCB costs by 80%, and can also significantly reduce faults.

▲Ekatong Antola 1000 configuration introduction

Overall, Antola 1000 can help customers optimize more than 20% of the development cycle.

So, what can Antola 1000 achieve?

Shen Ziyu introduced on the spot that Antola 1000 can be connected to four 2-megapixel cameras, supports up to 12 cameras, supports HUD display and 360 surround view system; it also supports 4K resolution entertainment screens , and can even be expanded to 4 screens.

▲Ekatong Antola 1000 port configuration

Antola 1000 has a large capacity of 64/128/256GB storage and supports LPDDR5/LPDDR4X memory, which can reach 8/ 12/16GB, supports both BT 5.2 Bluetooth and WIFI 6, supports access to ETH gateway and AUD microphone.

In addition, it can also be connected to CAN/LIN/Flexray, etc., and the more popular mobile phone interconnection can also be implemented.

From this aspect, this product is already competing with the top cockpit computing platforms on the market. ability.

But Yikatong is not just satisfied with this. It also released Antola 1000 Pro on site, which uses two Dragon Eagle 1 chips to provide double the computing power of CPU, GPU and DSP. Supported, the NPU computing power reaches 16TOPS, which can meet the needs of high computing power-aware fusion pre- and post-processing scenarios.

Xinqing Technology also customized a high-speed interconnection bus for Yikatong, and the measured PCIE 3.0 Lane transmission speed reached 7.28GT/s. The inter-module video stream delay is 51% less than the industry’s mass-produced flagship platform.

▲Ekatong Antola 1000 Pro configuration

More importantly, compared to Antola 1000, Antola 1000 Pro is an integrated cabin and berthing product. , which can provide driving assistance functions from L0 to L2, including safety alarm, comfort assistance and safety control. In addition, it also supports the development of complete full-scenario parking lot parking functions, providing APA assisted parking and RPA remote parking. Car etc.

▲Ekatong Antola 1000 Pro configuration

This product also supports diverse intelligent driving functions OTA, high-speed interface interconnection V2X and real-time cloud services to meet customer needs to the greatest extent .

In addition, the scalability of this product is also very powerful, which can meet various platform requirements and provide a variety of interfaces.

▲Yikatong Antola 1000 Pro port configuration

In order for customers to better get started with these two products, Yikatong also provides a complete development kit series, with It has three major advantages: ease of use, efficiency improvement, and cost reduction.

At present, these two products are not futures. It is understood that Yikatong has reached cooperation with FAW Group, and Antola 1000 will be installed on Hongqi brand models.

Although the performance of the above two products is already very superior , but Yikatong was not satisfied with this, and immediately launched its third blockbuster product - the next-generation smart cockpit computing platform Makalu. Officials said that this product will define the ceiling.

▲Yikatong Makalu

So what is the difference between this product?

From a hardware perspective, Makalu uses AMD Ryzen Embedded V2000 automotive-grade processor, which also uses the 7nm advanced process. The APU has 6 cores and 12 threads, and the GPU has 28 Compute unit, 1792 stream processors.

▲Ekatong Makalu configuration

At the same time, Makalu has powerful performance of 394K DMIPS and graphics rendering capability of 10.1T FLOPS, supports up to 32GB of independent memory, and provides groundbreaking 8GB independent video memory.

Makaru also has a unique Cloudpeak Virtualization capability base. The computing power utilization of this product exceeds the industry general level by 11.7%, and the virtualization performance loss is reduced by 67% compared with the industry average. It can give full play to the ultra-high energy efficiency of heterogeneous computing platforms and can also provide the next generation of smart cockpit products. Software and hardware capability base.

For this product, Yikatong calls it "probably the most powerful computing platform in the history of smart cockpits."

Looking specifically at the product, Makalu supports desktop-level computing platforms The latest graphics processing interface and Unreal Engine 5 also support 3D environment rendering and panoramic spatial audio.

And what can these do? Yikatong also gave the answer at the scene. Users can play games directly in the car, and they can also directly play 3A masterpieces. Playing "Tomb Raider" with a car and a machine was also directly demonstrated on the big screen at the scene.

▲Ekatong Makalu supports playing AAA masterpieces on the car and console

Previously, only Tesla could experience this feature on the latest Model S/X car and console.

At the event, Yikatong Technology also reached an ecological strategic partnership with Unreal Engine. In the future, it will create an immersive user experience through desktop-level 3D vision and support large-scale 3A games. and rich Epic Games Store game ecology.
