At first, we defined the Internet of Cars as being able to let everyone put down their mobile phones, but later we found that Apple's CarPlay and CarLife can achieve it. Now, the replacement of chips, the upgrading of intelligence, and the intelligent network in the fast lane are being swept up by the endless stream of new energy vehicles. It can be seen that the top of the intelligent cockpit not only refers to navigation, a variety of entertainment apps, but also intelligent voice interaction.
In the era of automotive intelligence, chips have become as important as the three major parts of traditional fuel. With the improvement of the manufacturing process, the performance of chips is becoming more and more powerful, and the integration is getting higher and higher, which can provide more computing power and data processing power, which means that it can support more applications.
In the past two years, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 cockpit chip has been well known, and nearly 100 new cars have been equipped with it. An 8-core 8155 automotive-grade chip can achieve the capability of one core and multiple screens, which is lower than the cost of multi-core and multi-screen consumer chip coverage. However, the once proud 8155 chip will gradually go down the historical stage, and more and more mid-to-high-end models have begun to choose to use Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 chip as the main control chip of the intelligent cockpit.
The Geely Galaxy e8 and BYD Han EV are the flagship C-segment sedans in their respective families, but their performance in the intelligent cockpit is very different. BYD Han EV is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 690 chip, which is a consumer-grade chip released in 2020, with low cost, easy to freeze, and slow response speed, and even been frantically complained about by "Di fans".
If the computing power of the chip is not enough, it will lead to jamming, and the processing power of the image and ** will be worse. The cost of consumer-grade chips is on average 20% to 30% lower than that of automotive-grade chips. In order to reduce costs, it is indeed not very kind to put consumer-grade chips on a flagship model.
BYD Han EV 15Although the 6-inch central control screen can be rotated and split into screens, the DILink intelligent network connection system supports voice assistants that can only operate some basic settings such as navigation and listening to songs. Gaode navigation, network** is also the most basic demand for entertainment functions, after opening the Douyin** applet, the rough resolution and the refresh speed of Caton will make your scalp tingle.
The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 carried by the Geely Galaxy E8 is Qualcomm's sixth-generation KRYO CPU, which is clearly distinguished from consumer-grade mobile phone chips through the architecture of four super cores + four large cores. Mobile phone chips pay more attention to energy efficiency ratio and heat generation, and usually add small cores that are more power-efficient, while automotive-grade chips use large cores because of better space, heat dissipation, and redundancy conditions, which are more conducive to performance release.
For a long time, we have regarded the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip as the ceiling of automotive-grade chips. The 8155 chip is manufactured using a 7nm process. With 8 computing cores and one core and multiple screens, it can support 4 2K screens or 3 4K screens.
The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 chip is built on a 5nm process, and its CPU computing power can reach 230K DMIPS, which is directly double the 100K DMps computing power in the 8155 era. Geely GalaxyE845inch8KThe resolution screen,It is not spliced with multiple screens,This kind of integrated unbounded large screen,There is no division point at all,Better immersion,The number of pixels is also higher。
Strong computing power and smooth operation experience, whether it is watching giant screen movies or playing Asphalt can be very smooth and stutter-free, you must know that this excellent racing game has always been the king of 3A in the mobile game industry.
No matter how good the hardware is, it is useless without the backing of software. Geely Galaxy E8 is equipped with Galaxy N OS-Unbounded Edition system,Its**The screen integrates a rich and dazzling small program,After the split screen display,The menu on the screen in front of the co-pilot can be almost the same as in the central control screen。 The authority to operate the functions of the car machine is not less than that of the main driver, rather than simple entertainment** + listening to songs.
Geely is the first to use Meizu Flymelink, which can map all the applications in the mobile phone to the car screen. In addition, the Galaxy NOS-Unbounded Edition system also supports HUAWEI HiCar and ICCOA CarLink mapping and projection functions.
The voice assistant of the Galaxy N OS-Unbounded Edition system can also support four-zone wake-up, full-time wake-up, multi-command in one sentence, full-screen visible and talkable, including booking air tickets and high-speed rail tickets and other services. This is not new, after all, it can interact with voice not only from inside the car, but also from outside the car. Suppose you are holding a very heavy object in your hands at the moment, standing outside the car and being able to open the trunk directly through the voice interaction system, this scene is more ceremonial than kicking the door open.
The five scenarios can change the cockpit environment according to different UI interfaces, combined with air conditioning and seats, bringing consumers an immersive experience. The profiled flat-bottomed steering wheel, which keeps pace with the times, allows the driver to read the information on the dashboard more clearly. The deeply integrated AI rhythm function will also automatically generate an artistic conception picture according to the lyrics when **song**, improving the immersive experience of the screen. The 8295 chip, which is aimed at the three major fields of audio-visual entertainment, games, and AI, has given the intelligent cockpit more room for evolution.
The 8295 chip, which has stronger computing power, means that the Galaxy E8 can process more data. In the field of intelligent driving, ADAS advanced driver assistance system provides drivers with more and more comprehensive real-time information, covering intelligent cruise control, lane departure warning, lane keeping assist, traffic sign recognition and many other functional modules.
Through 10 high-perception cameras, 12 ultrasonic radars, 5 millimeter-wave radars, 1 variable-focus solid-state lidar and other sensing devices, road information is captured and analyzed in real time, providing timely and accurate safety reminders and intervention for drivers to ensure driving safety.
The NOA highway automatic driving assistance system, which can realize lever lane change, autonomous entry and exit ramps, and functions such as **P valet parking, realizes L2+ driving assistance that is ahead of the same level, and also leaves more room for later OTA upgrades.
The development of intelligence is getting faster and faster, and it is common sense to buy new and not old. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 690 consumer chip used in the BYD Han EV is an older 8nm process technology, which will be much worse than the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 in terms of performance and energy efficiency. This also directly reflects the gap between the two cars in terms of playability of the intelligent cockpit and the functionality of the intelligent driving assistance system.
Therefore, Geely Galaxy E8's slogan of "killing the mainstream pure electric of the same level in seconds" in terms of computing power is indeed not bragging. Driven by the dual trends of intelligence and electrification, the Geely Galaxy E8 with the blessing of Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 chip is bound to lead the development trend of new energy intelligent vehicles at this stage and in the future.
At present, Geely Galaxy E8 has been listed, before January 31, you can enjoy 2000 deduction 8000 car purchase balance, 6000 yuan of optional **, unlimited brand 8000 yuan replacement subsidy, can be described as full of sincerity!
