So it's going to be Qualcomm and Nvidia going head to head for automotive chipset market?
- robert_foss 10y agoWhomever spins smartphone/tablet ASICs will likely be a viable contender in that race. Don't forget about HiSilion, Rockchip, Allwinner, Spreadtrum, and MediaTek.
- dharma1 10y agoI guess many vendors will have ASIC co-processors for some ML operations pretty soon. The ones you listed are giving Qualcomm a run for its' money in mobile space, but automotive is a tough one to get into. Nvidia and especially Freescale/NXP already have automotive market share (and investment in the space)
- protomok 10y agoI'm just curious what happens to Freescale's i.MX product line...i.MX directly competes in the automotive SOC space with QCOM.
- digikata 10y agoI hope it survives, I've always liked the i.MX line.
- revelation 10y agoFeels like deep learning is here to stay so I don't see how they are going to have any fighting chance.
- mrpippy 10y agoAlso Renesas (itself a combination of NEC, Hitachi and Mitsubishi's semi division) is popular among the Asian manufacturers. Both auto OEMs (Honda, Toyota, etc.) but tier-1 suppliers (Pioneer, Fujitsu Ten, Panasonic).
