2024 Automotive Cockpit Controller Report: X86 vs. ARM – AMD V2000 & Intel Malibou Lead X86 AI

The “Automotive Cockpit Domain Controller Research Report, 2024” has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s collection. This report highlights the competition between x86 and ARM architectures in the automotive cockpit market, where AMD’s V2000 and Intel’s Malibou Lake lead the x86 AI cockpit space.

The ECARX Makalu computing platform is the first to mass-produce the AMD V2000, making a significant impact on the automotive industry. Qualcomm has long dominated the high-end cockpit system-on-chip (SoC) market, with the ‘ARM + Android’ framework being the standard for smart in-vehicle infotainment (IVI). However, with increasing demand for advanced features such as 3D human-machine interfaces (HMI), AI models, and large-scale gaming, automakers are now focusing on the ‘x86 + Linux’ architecture.

ARM-based CPUs offer good heat dissipation, though they lag in performance. In contrast, x86 CPUs, known for their high computing power and ability to run large software, are becoming more attractive despite their higher heat dissipation requirements. Tesla has adopted the x86 architecture, using a Linux-based operating system for IVI.

AMD and Intel are emerging as key players in the x86 automotive space, with AMD’s Ryzen V1000 gaining a foothold in Tesla models and other smart cockpits. AMD’s next-generation Ryzen V2000A, featuring a 7nm process and superior computing power, outperforms Qualcomm’s SA8295P. It supports multiple 4K displays, dual Gigabit Ethernet, and has passed automotive-grade certifications.

Partners such as ECARX, Cinemo, and Visteon have adopted AMD’s V2000A platform, integrating AMD’s Radeon RX 6600 series graphics cards. The ECARX Makalu platform supports multiple operating systems through virtualization technology, further pushing the boundaries of intelligent vehicle technology.

As automotive intelligence moves into its 2.0 phase, the competition focuses on cross-domain integration and global electronic architecture. Tier 1 suppliers, like ECARX, which integrate chips, software, and applications, are expected to play a significant role in the evolving intelligent vehicle market.
