NVIDIA launches three new automotive chips to advance autonomous driving technology

NVIDIA recently launched three new automotive chips - Orin-X, Thor-X and Thor-X-Super, designed to meet the needs of automotive application scenarios of different complexity. The Orin-X chip has 12 cores, based on the ARM Cortex-A78AE architecture, with a performance of 240 KDMIPS, suitable for low-power task scenarios such as ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System). The Thor-X chip has 14 cores, based on the ARM Neoverse V2 architecture, with a performance of 630 KDMIPS, suitable for multi-tasking environments such as vehicle domain controllers. As for the Thor-X-Super chip, it has 28 cores, also based on the ARM Neoverse V2 architecture, with performance increased to 1260 KDMIPS, which is more suitable for complex scenarios, such as the centralized computing needs of autonomous driving systems.
