Qualcomm is once again making waves in the tech industry with the announcement of its Snapdragon 8295 chip, specifically designed for the automotive industry. This 4th-gen Automotive Cockpit Platforms chip is set the way we interact with our cars, offering improved performance and advanced features.
The Snapdragon 8295 boasts a 5nm process and AI computing power of 30TOPS, delivering 2 times better GPU performance and 3 times better 3D rendering performance compared to the previous Snapdragon 8155 (7nm). Additionally, the Snapdragon 8295 offers integrated electronic rearview mirror, machine learning vision (rear view, surround view), passenger monitoring, and information security features, all on a single chip, making it a standout option for automotive manufacturers.
During the Automotive Technology and Cooperation Summit, Qualcomm also introduced its ADAS intelligent driving chip 8650 and its cockpit-integrated chip Snapdragon 8775. The company presented a panoramic display of its automotive ecosystem cooperation solutions, demonstrating its commitment to providing a full range of options for automotive manufacturers.
With a shift to a smaller 5nm process, the 8295 has a whopping 30 trillion operations per second of AI muscle, double the graphics performance, and triple the 3D rendering power of its predecessor, the Snapdragon 8155. Talk about a major glow up! The boosted performance allows the chip to power up to 11 high-res touchscreen displays at once for an ultra-immersive experience.
The 8295 also packs some next-gen capabilities like an integrated electronic rearview mirror, machine learning-powered surround view monitoring, passenger emotion tracking, and beefed up security. With all these futuristic features, the backseat driving experience is getting a huge upgrade.
Snapdragon 8295 chip is a promising development for the automotive industry, and its advanced features and improved performance are set to make driving a more intuitive and immersive experience. If the 8295 lives up to its promises, the connected car is going to get a lot more advanced, and a lot more fun, in the coming years. The open road’s never looked so good!
