A report claims Xpeng's Turing AI chip will achieve 750 TOPS of performance, slightly higher than the 700 TOPS rumored for Nvidia's Thor automotive chip platform.
Context
Recent industry reports highlight significant developments in automotive AI chips, with XPeng's self-developed Turing chip emerging as a notable contender. The Turing chip is touted to deliver a single-chip computing power of 750 TOPS, with some configurations integrating three chips for a combined total of 2,250 TOPS. This move by XPeng is seen as a strategic step to reduce reliance on external suppliers, particularly amidst challenges faced by NVIDIA.
NVIDIA's Thor chip, initially anticipated to offer up to 2000 TOPS and launch in mid-2024, has reportedly encountered delays, pushing mass production into 2025-2026. Furthermore, industry sources suggest that NVIDIA is primarily supplying a lower-spec version of Thor, estimated at around 750 TOPS. These developments underscore the dynamic landscape of AI chip development and supply chain considerations for automotive manufacturers.
