8.8 billion transistors!Geely released the first domestic 7nm automotive chip, the performance is not inferior to Qualcomm

Last month, in Geely’s “Smart Geely 2025 Campaign”, it was announced that the first self-developed 7nm process car SOC “smart cockpit chip” chip was about to be mass-produced, which made netizens very excited at that time.

The day before yesterday, this chip was officially released in Wuhan, named “Longying One”, and this is also the first domestic 7nm car-grade cockpit chip.

However, the publisher is not Geely, it is Xinqing Technology. What is the relationship between Xinqing Technology and Geely? Xinqing Technology was jointly funded and established by Ekatong Technology and Amou China.

Ekatong Technology was co-founded by Geely Li Shufu and Shen Ziyu, so Xinqing Technology is actually an automotive chip company under Geely, so Xinqing Technology releases chips, which is equivalent to Geely release chips.

From the performance point of view, this chip is very powerful. It uses TSMC’s 7nm process and 87-layer Circuits. The Die area is 83 square millimeters, integrated 8.8 billion transistors, 4+4 8-core CPU design, and 14-core GPU.

Among them, the four large CPU cores are ARM’s A76, the main frequency reaches 2.4GHz, the four small cores are A55, the CPU computing power reaches 90K DMIPS, the AI ​​computing power reaches 8TOPS, and the 14-core GPU reaches 900GFLOPS of computing power , The overall performance is very close to Qualcomm’s 7nm flagship smart cockpit chip 8155, at the same level.

What’s interesting is that when this “Dragon Eagle One” is a single one, it can be a smart cockpit chip, which can realize all that a smart cockpit can achieve, such as digital dashboard, HUD, infotainment, 360-degree visibility, high-definition navigation, and smart voice. Features.

And two “Dragon Eagle One” can also be integrated into a controller, then the two “Long Eagle One” chips together can realize L2 automatic driving functions, including assisted driving, automatic parking, remote Functions such as parking can be regarded as one core with multiple functions.

According to Xinqing Technology, this chip will be mass-produced and put on cars next year. Not only Geely will use it, but also automakers other than Geely.

In the era of fuel vehicles, chassis, gearboxes, and engines are the core. But in the era of smart cars, the three-electric system (battery, Electronic control, motor), automatic driving, and smart cockpit are the core.

Self-driving and smart cockpits are inseparable from chips, so car-regulated chips are the core of the core and the true soul of a car. According to SAIC, the soul is in one’s own hands, not the soul is someone else’s, and oneself is just the body.

And Geely must think so too, so that’s why it ended up making its own core, wanting to start from the chip, and truly take the soul in its own hands. What’s more, Geely has many brands, and it is very necessary to consolidate technical strength and build industrial advantages. Therefore, core manufacturing is also very necessary and a key part.
