The Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ Automotive Cockpit Platform, Gen 3, leverages our proven heterogeneous compute capabilities, including the multi-core Qualcomm® AI Engine, Qualcomm Spectra™ Image Signal Processor (ISP), fourth-generation Qualcomm® Kryo™ Central Processing Unit (CPU), Qualcomm® Hexagon™ Processor, sixth-generation Qualcomm® Adreno™ Visual Subsystem, and more. The Qualcomm AI Engine optimizes the AI capabilities of all primary Snapdragon cores including CPU, GPU, and the Hexagon Processor. The new Hexagon Processor includes Hexagon Vector eXtensions (HVX) and a dedicated Hexagon Tensor Accelerator (HTA) to provide exceptional AI acceleration for a more power-efficient implementation of edge-based machine learning use-cases such as Natural Language Processing and Object classification. Third-generation Snapdragon Automotive Cockpit Platforms also feature the Qualcomm® Secure Processing Unit, engineered to help protect personal and vehicle data, and Qualcomm® Vision Enhanced Precise Positioning based camera sensors and computer vision capabilities to support differentiated use-cases on lane-level crowdsourcing of drive data for building map layers.

Snapdragon Automotive Cockpit Platforms are highly integrated with virtualization support across multiple hypervisors—addressing the domain convergence of infotainment and driving systems. This helps automakers meet the increasing complexity demanded by the consolidation of the digital cluster and infotainment domains. They also offer comprehensive software support for Android and LINUX high-level and real-time operating systems, and include flexible and scalable software mixed criticality solutions, multiple engine control unit (ECU) consolidation, high-resolution and refresh rate displays, basic to multi-zone audio, luxury Hi-Fi with multi-mic echo cancellation and noise reduction, state-of-the-art 2D and 3D graphic visualization, and protected entertainment content.

Snapdragon Automotive Cockpit Platforms also provide scalable architecture with differentiated experiences using the same software architecture and framework. This allows consumers to enjoy a harmonized user experience regardless of the vehicle tier, all while leveraging the same software framework.
