Revving Up Innovation: Arm and Intel’s New Technologies Drive the Future of AI-Enabled Vehicles

Wednesday, March 20th, 2024

In the rapidly evolving automotive sector, two technological giants, Arm and Intel, are making significant announcements, each promising to revolutionize the development and capabilities of AI-enabled vehicles. Here’s a detailed comparison of their respective announcements to provide insights into their offerings and the potential impact on the automotive industry.

Arm’s Automotive Innovations

Arm’s announcement, spearheaded by Dipti Vachani, SVP and GM of the Automotive Line of Business, focuses on a series of industry firsts designed to accelerate the development cycle of automotive technologies by up to two years. The key highlights from Arm include:

Introduction of Arm Automotive Enhanced (AE) Processors: These new processors are designed to bring Armv9 and server-class performance to automotive applications, specifically AI-driven use cases like autonomous vehicles and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS).
Future Arm Compute Subsystems (CSS) for Automotive: Aimed at further reducing development time and cost, these subsystems promise maximum flexibility for high-performance automotive systems.
Virtual Prototyping Solutions: For the first time, Arm offers the ecosystem the ability to develop software on virtual prototyping solutions before physical silicon is available, greatly accelerating development cycles.

The next-generation AE processors, including the Arm Neoverse V3AE, Cortex-A720AE, Cortex-A520AE, Cortex-R82AE, and Mali-C720AE, are tailored for the automotive industry, offering improvements in AI capabilities, security, and virtualization.

Harnessing the power of the ecosystem in the era of custom silicon on Arm

Friday, October 20th, 2023

By Mohamed Awad, SVP and GM, Infrastructure Line of Business

The world’s insatiable demand for compute will only continue to accelerate with the proliferation of AI. The need to process massive amounts of data gathered and transmitted by billions of devices is challenging the industry to innovate in a more specialized way. The rising cost and complexity of SoC design compounds this pressure and is driving the demand for more affordable, efficient, and performant solutions.

From AI to 5G, cloud data centers to the edge, the technology leaders building the next era of computing infrastructure are turning to custom silicon to unlock the specialized processing they need to scale.

We answered this call by introducing Arm Neoverse Compute Subsystems (CSS), a faster, lower-risk path to custom silicon for infrastructure. Neoverse CSS provides Arm technology in a new way, delivering pre-integrated and pre-verified solutions that bring more value than discrete IP to our partners. We are lowering the cost of development and accelerating time to market while allowing our partners the flexibility to focus their resources on innovation and differentiation. Partners can quickly leverage Neoverse CSS to design SoCs that are custom-built and optimized for their specific use cases.

Cadence, ARM and Samsung Tapeout Industry’s First Cortex-A-Based 14nm/FinFET Chip

Thursday, December 20th, 2012

ARM (LSE: ARM) (NASDAQ: ARMH) and Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDNS) announced the tape-out of the first 14-nanometer test chip implementation of the high-performance ARM® Cortex™-A7 processor, the most energy-efficient applications processor from ARM. Designed with a complete Cadence® RTL-to-signoff flow, the chip is the first to target Samsung’s 14-nanometer FinFET process, accelerating the continuing move to high-density, high-performance and ultra-low power SoCs for future smartphones, tablets and all other advanced mobile devices.
