Recently, there has been a blockbuster news in the field of smart cars: MediaTek's MT8673 automotive-grade chip has achieved an astonishing score of 1149043 in the Antutu car machine version of the running score, surpassing 8295 and becoming the performance overlord of the car machine chip list. This achievement has made the entire market very excited, which undoubtedly brings new vitality to the smart car market.
Compared with the list of Antutu vehicle-machine version of the vehicle-grade chip in July, MT8673's score has exceeded 8295, directly winning the first place in the performance of the current stage of the vehicle-machine chip list, and becoming the strongest car core in the overlord class. Combined with a series of performances of MediaTek Dimensity automotive cockpit platform during this year's Beijing Auto Show, MT8673 should be the CT-Y0 guessed by Antutu.
During this year's Beijing Auto Show, MediaTek brought 3 Dimensity automotive cockpit platforms in one go, in addition to the CT-Y0 and CT-Y1 with 4nm process, there is also CT-X1 with 3nm process, bringing amazing computing power breakthroughs to the intelligent cockpit. Through more advanced manufacturing processes, stronger performance and leading generative AI capabilities, it has brought the possibility of reshuffling the entire automotive chip market. Now, the CT-Y0 with 4nm process has been so strong, directly slaughtering the performance ranking of Antutu car machine. The subsequent 3nm CT-X1 is likely to achieve cross-generational crushing when it is launched. This wave of pressure next door is estimated to be difficult to connect.
Moreover, in the face of the market trend of "AI + automobile", MediaTek, which leads end-side generative AI, is making efforts to "AI define the cockpit". The Dimensity automotive cockpit platform integrates the Armv9 architecture, equipped with a powerful AI computing unit and end-to-end generative AI lightweight technology, which can run a variety of mainstream large language models and AI drawing functions in the vehicle, and supports advanced AI safety and entertainment applications such as in-vehicle voice assistants based on 3D graphical interfaces, rich multi-screen interaction and display technology, and driving alertness monitoring.
For the in-car audio and video entertainment experience that smart car users are particularly concerned about, the excellent computing power brought by the advanced manufacturing process of the Dimensity automotive cockpit platform can bring the ultimate audio and video experience of one core and multiple screens, and the CT-Y0 can support three sets of 3K screens to display content at the same time. In addition, MediaTek also brings cinema-level video quality into the car cockpit through industry-leading MiraVision display enhancement technology, allowing users to easily enjoy a stunning and eye-friendly high-quality entertainment experience in the car.
In addition, the CT-Y0's rich technology can also bring users a better experience for intelligent interaction, in-vehicle entertainment and driving safety. The Dimensity automotive cockpit platform is built with a modem, 5G T-BOX, dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), as well as a flagship-level HDR ISP image processor, which supports a variety of intelligent image optimization technologies such as AI noise reduction and AI 3A, which can provide high-quality imaging effects in various complex road conditions, and also supports functions such as 360-degree surround view outside the car, driving record and in-cabin monitoring and care, which can achieve more viewing angle coverage and monitoring. It greatly improves the perception of the surrounding environment of smart cars, reduces blind spots in the field of vision, makes safe driving more worry-free for users, and can also increase the in-car entertainment experience.
MediaTek's innovation in the cockpit platform of smart cars is not only a technological breakthrough, but also an overall improvement of user experience. Although it is not yet known which car the CT-Y0 will be unveiled in, it is foreseeable that MediaTek's technology will bring more surprises to the smart car market. Let's look forward to witnessing this moment of change.
