Arm's newly announced automotive processor AE is equipped with the Neoverse V3AE , an automotive model of the Neoverse series of processor cores for data centers that adopt the Armv9 architecture .
Neoverse V3AE enables customers to take advantage of data center-class performance from Arm's high-performance, energy-efficient architecture and improves AI and security technologies in their vehicles. Furthermore, Arm stated, ``This will help further improve the performance of advanced driver assistance systems, which are accelerating with advances in AI technology.''
Arm also announced a Cortex-A processor based on the Armv9 architecture customized for the automotive industry. Cortex-A processors include the Cortex-A720AE, which has the flexibility and sustained performance to support a wide range of software-defined vehicles (SDVs), and the Cortex -A720AE , which has enhanced functional safety features and is highly power efficient. -A520AE '' and Mali-C720AE , an image processing chip that comfortably supports demanding computer vision applications.
To support these new processors, Arm is expanding its
Referred to as a 'total design ecosystem,' CSS provides a more convenient and accessible way to design with pre-integrated and validated blueprints for laying out basic designs for various data center use cases. It is possible to convert to . This will enable the creation of custom chips with superior power efficiency, reducing development costs and speeding time to market for customized SoCs.
According to Arm, Arm CSS for Automotive will be available to customers starting in 2025.
Regarding the design cycle for automotive chips, Arm also said, ``In the traditional development process, silicon development occurs after the IP is first delivered.As such, a prototype chip is completed only after development has begun.'' 'And only once the chips arrive will software developers be able to start building applications.' 'By using the AE and Arm CSS for Automotive that we announced today, software developers can start building applications without waiting for the chip to arrive, and by the time the chip is actually developed, it is already ready for release. It will be in place.”
Arm said: 'This announcement opens new opportunities for the automotive industry for the next generation of SDV, reducing time to market and paving the way for a future where cars, trucks and buses become more intelligent. This is an important step towards achieving this goal.'
