The two companies will work on developing an in-vehicle computing platform for next-generation electric vehicles, which can be expected for mass production in late 2023 for global rollout. Notably, the ECARX digital cockpit will be the first in-vehicle platform to be offered with AMD Ryzen Embedded V2000 processors and AMD Radeon RX 6000 Series GPUs along with ECARX hardware and software.

Leveraging ECARX’s extensive experience in automotive digital cockpit design and AMD’s advanced computing power and stunning visual graphic rendering capabilities, the duo aims to deliver an innovative in-car experience.

The collaborative digital cockpit will be enabled with advanced features including driver information mode, heads-up display, rear seat entertainment, multiple-displays, multi-zone voice recognition, high-end gaming, and a full 3D user experience.

“As car companies seek to deliver immersive experiences and intelligent features for their next-generation electric vehicles, the AMD-powered ECARX digital cockpit will address these needs for the global automotive market,” said Rajneesh Gaur, corporate vice president and general manager, Embedded Business, AMD. “We are excited to work with ECARX as our first strategic ecosystem partner in China for the digital cockpit using our Ryzen Embedded V2000 processors and Radeon RX 6000 Series GPUs.”
