On October 22, local time, Qualcomm announced at the 2024 Snapdragon Summit the launch of the latest product in the Snapdragon ® Digital Chassis ™ solution portfolio-the Snapdragon Extreme Edition Automotive Platform.
It includes two products in total: the Snapdragon Cockpit Extreme Edition Platform and the Snapdragon Ride Extreme Edition platform, as the name suggests, are aimed at smart cockpit and smart driving scenario applications respectively.
It is understood that the Snapdragon Extreme Edition platform uses a Qualcomm Orion CPU specially tailored for automobiles, which has a three-fold improvement in performance compared with the previous generation of top-level platforms, and a unified architecture.
It also supports end-to-end models, which means that the entire vehicle factory will It is possible to achieve cabin and driving integration through a SoC.

At the same time, the NPU and GPU performance of the new platform has also been significantly improved.
According to Qualcomm, the Snapdragon Ride Extreme Edition platform is equipped with a dedicated NPU designed for multimodal AI, which is 12 times better than the previous generation cockpit platform.
It can better support real-time external environment and in-vehicle data processing, further strengthening the system.
Real-time decision-making, adaptive response and proactive assistance features.
The NPU is equipped with a Transformer accelerator and vector engine, and supports mixed precision, aiming to achieve low-latency, high-precision and efficient end-to-end Transformer.
, Not only that, through software virtualization and multiple operating systems, the Snapdragon Extreme Edition platform also supports flexible centralized processing, providing concurrent and multitasking capabilities for multiple sensors, rich user experience, and audio enabled by advanced AI and supporting virtualization.
The Extreme Edition automotive platform is equipped with a powerful and efficient camera system that supports more than 40 multimodal sensors, including up to 20 high-resolution cameras, achieving 360-degree all-round coverage and in-vehicle monitoring.
Its advanced image signal processor (ISP) also provides clear, sensitive visuals in extreme driving conditions.
At the same time, the Snapdragon platform is compatible with the latest and upcoming automotive sensors and formats, using AI-enhanced imaging tools to optimize image quality, enhance the in-car experience and advanced features.
In addition, for off-hand autonomous driving with predictable demand, the new platform also supports context-aware applications, including real-time driver monitoring and enhanced object detection.
The improved Qualcomm ®Adreno™ GPU can meet the needs of games, multimedia and dynamic driving information through advanced rendering capabilities.
, It is reported that Qualcomm is currently carrying out technical cooperation with car companies including Ideal and Mercedes-Benz to deploy the Snapdragon Extreme Edition platform into future mass production models of relevant brands.
The new Extreme Edition automotive platform is expected to be available in 2025.
