“Intel is taking a ‘whole vehicle’ approach to solving the
industry’s biggest challenges. Driving innovative AI solutions
across the vehicle platform will help the industry navigate the
transformation to EVs,” said Jack Weast, vice president and general
manager of Intel Automotive. “The acquisition of Silicon Mobility
aligns with our sustainability goals while addressing a critical
energy management need for the industry.”

The EV transition alongside customer demand for in-vehicle
experiences fuels Intel’s strategy to enable the SDV. Intel also
announced a commitment to deliver the industry’s first open
UCIe-based chiplet platform for SDVs. Intel will work with imec to
ensure the packaging technologies meet the rigorous quality and
reliability requirements of the automotive industry. Intel will
also chair a new industry-defining international standard for EV
power management.
Today, Intel SoCs are in more than 50 million vehicles, powering
infotainment, displays, digital instrument clusters and more.
Tomorrow, Intel’s expanded AI-enhanced “whole vehicle” roadmap will
move the industry toward a more scalable, software-defined and
sustainable future.
Intel to Acquire Silicon Mobility to Unlock a More
Sustainable Electrified Future
Silicon Mobility SAS, a portfolio company of Cipio Partners and
Capital-E, is a fabless automotive silicon and software company
that designs, develops and deploys EV energy management SoCs.
Silicon Mobility’s SoCs feature industry-leading accelerators
purpose-built for energy delivery and co-designed with highly
advanced software algorithms for significant gains in vehicle
energy efficiency.
Silicon Mobility’s technology portfolio will extend Intel’s
reach in the vehicle beyond high-performance compute into
intelligent and programmable power devices. The acquisition is
subject to necessary approvals.
Intel’s Open Platforms to Bring AI PC Experience to the
Car
The new family of AI-enhanced SDV SoCs address a critical
industry need for power and performance scalability. The family of
SoCs feature AI acceleration capabilities from Intel’s AI PC
roadmap to enable the most desirable in-vehicle AI use cases, such
as driver and passenger monitoring.
A demo showed 12 advanced workloads – including generative AI,
e-mirrors, high-definition video conference calling and PC games –
running concurrently across multiple operating systems, including
mixed critical use cases. The demo shows how automakers can
consolidate legacy electronic control unit (ECU) architecture to
improve efficiency, manageability and scalability – all while
integrating their own custom solutions and AI applications.
“Intel’s AI-enhanced SDV SoCs combine the best of AI PC and
Intel data center technologies necessary to support a true
software-defined vehicle architecture,” Weast said.
Zeekr First to Bring Intel-powered GenAI Experience to
Next-Gen EVs
Geely’s Zeekr brand will be the first OEM to use Intel’s new
family of SDV SoCs. Andy An, president of Geely Holding Group and
CEO of Zeekr Company Limited, explained how forward-compatibility
on Intel systems combined with Intel AI acceleration will allow
Zeekr to continually scale and upgrade services to enable next-gen
experiences customers demand, such as generative AI-based voice
assistants.
Open Standards Key to Industry Success
To fuel a faster, smoother transition to EVs and a sustainable
SDV, Intel and SAE International announced a committee to deliver
an automotive standard for Vehicle Platform Power Management
(J3311). Intel will chair the committee.
Inspired by proven-in-use power management techniques from the
PC industry’s ACPI standard, the new SAE standard will accelerate
progress by adopting and enhancing advanced power management
concepts from the PC industry, helping all EVs become more
energy-efficient and sustainable.
The standards committee currently includes industry
representation from Stellantis, HERE, and Monolithic Power
Solutions (MPS). The committee is open to additional industry
participation, with the goal of delivering the first draft standard
within 12 to 18 months.
Intel Commits to Open Automotive Chiplet Platform
Intel also announced its intent to work with R&D hub imec to
ensure Intel’s advanced chiplet packaging technologies meet the
strict quality and reliability requirements necessary for
automotive use cases.
The move underscores a commitment to be the first automotive
supplier to support the integration of third-party chiplets into
its automotive products. This gives OEMs the freedom and choice to
incorporate a custom chiplet into an Intel roadmap product at a
fraction of the cost of a fully custom SoC. The ability to mix and
match chiplets further eliminates the risk of vendor lock-in and
fosters a more scalable software-defined architecture.
