Samsung Announces Its First Exynos-Branded Auto V9 Processor, Partners With Audi (venturebeat.com) 32

Posted by msmash from the race-begins dept.
Samsung is starting the year off with a push to expand the reach of its chips. The company today announced Exynos Auto V9, its first auto-branded processor under the Exynos umbrella, as it looks to gain traction in the in-car infotainment space. From a report: The company says the Exynos Auto V9 chip is designed to power in-vehicle infotainment systems, with support for multiple displays. The South Korean tech company said it has partnered with Audi to power the car maker's next generation in-vehicle system, which is expected to hit the road by 2021. As for the specs, the Exynos Auto V9 is based on 8-nm process technology and features the first generation variant of the recently unveiled Cortex-A76 CPU cores (which clocks up to 2.1 GHz), and ARM Mali G76 GPU.

The announcement highlights Samsung's growing ambition to diversify its chips business as revenue from its mobile division drops. In Q3 of last year, revenue from Samsung's mobile division was down by 10 percent. At the same time, the company's decades-old chip business is growing rapidly.

  • Samsung makes devices which burst into flame. Audi makes devices which are a horrible nightmare to maintain, and they discontinue critical parts while people are still trying to maintain their vehicles. (They've dropped most of the engine, transmission and differential mounts for my A8, for example, and nobody makes substitutes for most of them.) Hey, you got my #donotwant in my #donottrust!

    • This is why I can't wait for the future where 3D printing becomes sophisticated enough to fabricate parts for situations like that. Even it's the type of horribly expensive machinery that only an auto shop could afford, it's still better than the current situation where the parts are far more difficult (and expensive) to come by.

        Yeah, I'm going to have to let the car go because I just don't have the resources right now to figure out how to make poly bushes, or even hard aluminum ones.

    • Samsung did the right thing and recalled all affected products, which was exactly one. Meanwhile a couple of iPhones have bursted into flames in the past and Apple simply doesn't care. If anything, Samsung is the leader in customer protection. But I am sure you slashdot beards wouldn't be satisfied with anything less than the public execution of the CEO, or him committing sepuku (despite being Korean). BTW anything from VW is a nightmare to own. Setting out to buy a reliable and maintainable vehicle and end
      • Just to be clear, if it's a vehicle from FCA, GM, Ford, VW or a Merc that isn't an S-class, just walk away. Honda has lost their quality too, but better than the rest.
    • Great, two companies with beyond shitty customer service are combining to deliver "Next level" shitty products and services to stupid people with more money than brains!
  • I get it...information & entertainment...but I hate the word. Anyway, that's probably too off-topic for this discussion.

    Seeing how Samsung Smart TVs are choke-full of adverting and tracking, I expect that Audi cars will now also be choke-full of advertising and even more tracking.

    Do not want.

      That doesn't follow. These are CPUs, not systems they're selling.

      It's quite interesting since I guess it gives them a platform with a much higher envelope than phones. My guess is they'll do the new stuff in the auto ones before figuring out how to get the power draw down for use in power and heat constrained systems.
