On April 20, Hubei Xinqing Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as: Xinqing Technology), a leading overall solution provider of automotive electronic chips, ushered in another new milestone during the Shanghai Auto Show – the new new energy medium-sized SUV model of Lynk & Co 08, which is equipped with two 7-nanometer car-grade intelligent cockpit chips of Xinqing Technology "No. 1", made its debut at the Shanghai Auto Show. The "No. 1" got on the Lynk & Co 08, which not only shows that the strong strength of Xinqing Technology in the field of domestic high-end automotive chips has been certified by the market, but also breaks the situation that high-performance car-grade chips are monopolized by foreign manufacturers, providing Chinese car companies with a new choice.
Based on the world’s leading 7-nanometer process design, XQ Technology’s car-grade smart cockpit chip "No. 1" has a high-performance computing power cluster, an independent NPU with 8-core CPU, 14-core GPU, and 8 TOPS AI computing power. Its powerful audio & video processing capability can support up to 7-screen high definition picture output and 12-channel video signal access, and is the first in the industry to be equipped with dual HiFi 5 DSP processors.
The high-performance heterogeneous computing architecture of "XL-1" provides surging computing power, taking the cockpit experience of Lynk & Co 08 to the next level. The model adopts dual "XL-1" solutions, and the powerful CPU and GPU computing power can smoothly support its industry-first 92-inch giant canopy HUD, with a resolution of 2K, real-life navigation covers three lanes, and supports mobile Inter-App communications to watch movies and play games, further providing an immersive cockpit experience.
In addition, the 16 TOPS computing power of the dual "XL-1" supports the auxiliary driving functions of L0-L2, including APA assisted parking, RPA remote parking and other full-scene parking, and is equipped with multi-channel cameras, which significantly improves the safety and convenience of driving. It is also worth mentioning that the "XL-1" chip is also equipped with the "black technology" of eye tracking function. AR-HUD can adjust the best viewing angle in real time according to the height of the driver’s eye, which is more conducive to eye focus during driving.
By cooperating with Meizu Flyme Auto system, "No. 1" can give full play to its high performance, low power consumption and high integration characteristics, empower Lynk & Co’s smart and sensory digital cockpit experience, and truly elevate the human-machine interaction experience of cars and machines to the level of mobile phones, opening a new era of advanced intelligence.
Dr. Wang Kai, Director and CEO of XQ Technology, said, "It is of great significance to us that the’No. 1 ‘has been selected and carried by the new Lynk & Co 08.’ No. 1 ‘sets the standard for the most advanced products in the international market in the fields of design, process and performance, and can help customers continue to exceed in the field of intelligence, so as to achieve full-scene intelligent connectivity and smart travel. XQ Technology is committed to providing better choices for OEMs in terms of performance, overall cost, and information security. The combination of’No. 1’ and Lynk & Co 08 will set a new benchmark in the industry. We will continue to use our own R & D strength and expertise to promote domestic chips to higher standards and empower the development of intelligent vehicles in China."
As the global automotive industry sprints towards intelligence, smart driving and cabin and parking integration, as two popular trends in the automotive field, have ushered in a boom in rapid development. "No. 1" can perfectly support the cabin and parking integrated solution, thus enabling OEMs to significantly reduce costs and upgrade technology to the direction of cabin and parking integration.
The localization of chips is of strategic significance in the development of smart cars, and the independent core technology mastered by Xinqing Technology helps to ensure the security of the automotive supply chain. "No. 1" has built-in independent functional safety islands and information safety islands, and different processor clusters independently serve different functional domains, which can meet the high security and reliability requirements of the Chinese market for vehicle-grade chips, and escort the information security of automobiles.
The "No. 1" is equipped with the new model Lynk & Co 08, which will cooperate with the Lynk & Co brand to achieve intelligent and electric transformation, build core competitiveness, and create higher value and ultimate experience for users. In the future, Xinqing Technology will also continue to focus on forward-looking layout, accelerate product iterative upgrades, better meet the needs of China’s smart car market, and realize the beautiful vision of "allowing everyone to enjoy driving".
