To achieve Honda's vision for SDVs, Renesas and Honda have agreed to develop a high-performance SoC computing solution tailored for core ECU designs. Leveraging TSMC's cutting-edge 3nm automotive process technology, the SoC is designed to significantly reduce power consumption.
The chip combines Renesas' fifth-generation R-Car X5 SoC series with Honda's independently developed AI accelerator optimized for AI software. This integration is expected to deliver one of the industry’s best AI performances while maintaining high energy efficiency. The SoC’s chiplet solution will provide the AI performance required for advanced functionalities such as autonomous driving (AD), all while keeping power consumption low.
Chiplet technology enables the flexible creation of customized solutions and allows for future upgrades to enhance functionality and performance.
