Some time ago, many friends disassembled the Xiaomi SU7 Max car and found that its autonomous driving chip uses NVIDIA's Orin X computing power chip, a total of 2, a single computing power of 254TOPS, and two of them are 508TOPS.
In fact, it's not just Xiaomi cars, let's take a closer look at domestic new energy vehicles, autonomous driving chips, most of them use NVIDIA's Orin X computing power chips, some one, some 2.
The data shows that in 2023, in the field of autonomous driving chips equipped with NOA models as standard, Nvidia will win a 48.9% share, which is really far ahead, while the second place is the domestic horizon, with a share of 35.5%, and Huawei's share is only 7.9%.
What's more, many domestic cars and top models basically use Nvidia's chips, and only domestic chips are used in medium and low configurations......
As for why, of course, the performance of domestic chips is not enough, and autonomous driving requires extremely strong computing power.
For autonomous driving chips, there is no such thing as ecology, as long as there is computing power, so for a long time, domestic chip manufacturers are also working hard, and recently, China's strongest autonomous driving chip was born.
Horizon Robotics has released a new generation of on-board intelligent computing solutions with a computing power of up to 560TOPS "Journey 6" series chips, the strongest Journey 6P, with a computing power of up to 560TOPS.
As mentioned earlier, NVIDIA's strongest autonomous driving chip is Orin X, each with 254TOPS, and many domestic cars use 2 to form 508TOPS computing power, while Horizon Journey 6P, one has 560TOPS computing power, and one top Nvidia 2, do you say it's amazing?
It is conceivable that many domestic car machines will choose domestic chips in the future, after all, the computing power is stronger. You must know that there is no ecology in the intelligent driving chip, the algorithm is self-developed by car companies, and the chip used by anyone is the same.
Then the history of Nvidia for domestic car flagships and low-level Chinese-made chips may also change, becoming domestically produced for flagships and Nvidia for low-to-medium configurations.
In fact, as mentioned earlier, Horizon has a 35.5% market share, second only to Nvidia. By the end of 2023, Horizon's chip shipments have also exceeded 4 million, and it is expected to exceed 5 million in Q1 of 2024. Among them, BYD Automobile, there are more than one million cars using the Journey series chips, which is the largest customer of Horizon.
At present, Horizon has cooperated with BYD, Ideal, Weilai, Xiaopeng, Xiaomi and many other car companies to apply it to the domestic cars of these brands.
It can be seen that there is no thing that Chinese chips can't do, as long as they work hard, they can also defeat foreign manufacturers and break foreign monopolies, what do you think? Next, I hope that domestic cars will support domestic chips, so we don't have to rely on imports to avoid being stuck.
