In the evolution of automotive technology, the smart automobile cockpit is designed to seamlessly integrate advanced computing power, intuitive user interfaces, and cutting-edge connectivity. The smart cockpit redefines the driving experience. To empower these functionalities smoothly, MediaTek recently introduced its brand-new Dimensity Automotive platform.
The latest CT-X1 of the Dimensity automotive cockpit chipset is based on a 3nm process, while the CT-Y1 and CT-Y0 are based on a 4nm process, delivering an amazing breakthrough in computing power for the smart cockpit. With the first 5G NTN satellite broadband technology in Ku-band, an in-vehicle 3GPP 5G R17 modem, in-vehicle high-performance Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth combo solution, the Dimensity Automotive Connectivity Platform delivers a wide range of smart connectivity capabilities.
The Dimensity Automotive Cockpit Platform integrates the Armv9 architecture with a powerful AI computing unit and end-side generative AI lightweight technology, which meets the accuracy of AI calculations and at the same time makes more efficient use of memory bandwidth and memory capacity.
Adopting a 3nm process, Dimensity CT-X1 has strong flagship computing power, supports AI Large Language Models with 13 billion parameters, can run a variety of mainstream Large Language Models (LLMs) and AI mapping functions (Stable Diffusion) in the car, and supports advanced in-car voice assistants based on 3D graphical interfaces, rich multi-screen interactions and displays, and driver alertness monitoring. AI safety and entertainment applications that run on the car side not only improve safety but also enjoy advantageous features such as high responsiveness and low latency.
The highly integrated Dimensity Car Cockpit Platforms CT-X1, CT-Y1, and CT-Y0 help automakers to shorten development time and accelerate the time-to-market process. For example, with a built-in modem, 5G T-BOX, dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), it can also be built with a flagship HDR ISP image processor that supports various intelligent image optimization technologies such as AI noise reduction and AI 3A, which can provide high-quality imaging results in various complex road conditions.
At the same time, it also supports functions such as a 360-degree surround view outside the car, driving record, and in-cockpit monitoring and care, to better serve road traffic safety. In terms of multimedia, the Dimensity Car Cockpit platform supports one core and multiple screens and brings cinema-grade video quality into the car cockpit through MediaTek MiraVision display enhancement technology, bringing users a high-quality in-vehicle entertainment experience; the platform also integrates an audio DSP, which provides surround sound with the help of in-vehicle audio systems.
