Technology highlights: Industry-leading 5nm automotive-grade process

As the industry‘s first high-level intelligent driving chip to be manufactured using the 5nm automotive-grade process, the technological advancement of “Shengui NX9031” is self-evident. With more than 50 billion transistors, a 32-core CPU (large and small core architecture), built-in LPDDR5X cache, self-developed ISP supporting 26bit bit-width, and processing latency of less than 5ms, the “Shengui NX9031” achieves the industry‘s leading level of computational power, data processing speed, and energy-efficiency ratio. These powerful hardware configurations enable the NX9031 to reach the industry‘s leading level in terms of computing power, data processing speed and energy efficiency. In addition, its self-developed high-efficiency NPU acceleration unit is 4.3 times faster than competitors in BEV class algorithm performance, and the Transformer algorithm is 6.5 times faster than competitors, demonstrating Azalea‘s deep expertise in AI algorithm optimization.

Second, the significance of self-research: mastering core technology and enhancing competitiveness

There are far-reaching strategic considerations behind Azera‘s choice to develop its own intelligent driving chip. Li Bin pointed out that intelligent electric vehicles have become the high point of scientific and technological innovation, and AI is the core basic ability of intelligent electric vehicle enterprises. Through self-developed chip, Azalea can not only master the core technology, reduce the dependence on external suppliers and improve the stability of the supply chain, but also form a unique technological advantage in the field of intelligent driving and enhance market competitiveness. In addition, self-developed chips can also effectively reduce costs, improve the cost-effectiveness of products, and bring consumers a more high-quality, economical travel experience.

System integration: full-volume release of SkyOS-SkyPivot

At the same time as announcing the success of the “Shengui NX9031” chip, Azalea also released its vehicle-wide operating system, “SkyOS - Sky Hub”. The system, which took 4 years to develop, connects intelligent hardware, computing platforms, communication and energy systems, and realizes unified management and coordination of Vehicle Link, vehicle control, intelligent driving, digital cockpit, mobile apps, etc. SkyOS-Sky Hub‘s features of high bandwidth, low latency, and large computing power provide powerful software support for the “Shengui NX9031” chip, making it possible for both the system and its operating system to work together. The high bandwidth, low latency and large computing power of SkyOS-Sky Hub provides strong software support for the “Shengui NX9031” chip, enabling the two to be closely integrated to enhance the performance and experience of intelligent driving.

Market Impact: Leading Industry Trends and Promoting Technical Progress

The success of the “Shengui NX9031” chip not only marks Azera‘s leading position in the field of intelligent driving technology, but also has a far-reaching impact on the entire intelligent electric vehicle industry. On the one hand, by developing its own chip, Azalea has broken the monopoly of foreign brands in the high-end intelligent driving chip market, setting an example for Chinese automotive enterprises. On the other hand, the high performance and efficiency of “Shengui NX9031” chip will promote the progress and upgrade of intelligent driving technology in the whole industry, and promote the popularization and application of intelligent driving technology.
