Trends

Since the first car was invented, there has been a vast improvement from better engines to designs. But for decades, the progress of in-vehicle infotainment system was very slow, and it had consisted of just a radio, tape deck and CD player. However, with the faster advancement in smartphone, consumer electronics and other computing devices, consumer’s increased expectation for faster, connected and convenient features also got into the car.

Drivers want to receive driving assistant information in real time with high quality graphics and quick response. And passengers want to enjoy diverse entertaining features similar to mobile experiences they enjoy.

To satisfy such demand, in-vehicle infotainment system’s main processor’s performance is becoming drastically important as it is required not only to control diverse information on multiple displays with always-on connected environment whilst ensuring reliability for safety.

Performance boosts for infotainment evolution
The Samsung Exynos Auto is a market proven solution that offers superb performance. To deliver a highly enjoyable in-vehicle infotainment experience, the main processor needs to be versatile and powerful enough to handle diverse tasks from driving assistance to entertainment in a connected environment. The Samsung Exynos Auto, built on a cutting-edge fabrication process, features advanced CPU, GPU and an LTE modem to enable the next level of in-vehicle infotainment.

CPU
The Samsung Exynos Auto features powerful CPU with the advanced multi-core technology to deliver right amount of processing power for each given tasks. Notably, Samsung’s own custom-designed CPU core offers higher single and multi-thread performance through a completely clean sheet design to handle multiple OS on multiple displays in the vehicle.
Graphic Processing Technology
For an advanced multi-display in-vehicle infotainment system with highly graphical driving assistant and multimedia, graphic processing capability is very important. The Samsung Exynos Auto features an advanced GPU with the latest graphic processing technique to deliver powerful performance for a highly responsive and detailed graphical end user experience.
FinFET Process
The FinFET is the most advanced process technology that overcomes the limitation of planar structure for faster performance and low power consumption. The latest Samsung Exynos Auto solutions are built on 10nm or 14nm FinFET process to maximize its capability for the next level performance-intensive infotainment scenarios.
Modem
The Samsung Exynos Auto supports connected in-vehicle infotainment environment with its integrated market proven LTE modem. In addition to 2G and 3G cellular networks, the Exynos Auto supports LTE-Advanced broadband with carrier aggregation and MIMO for faster and reliable connection. Furthermore, with telematics support, the Exynos Auto delivers safer and enriched in-vehicle experience. In the coming future, the Exynos Auto will be leading the deployment of lightning fast 5G network.
Immersive experience
in every space
For an immersive infotainment experience, diverse information and entertaining contents are processed and displayed on multiple display stationed at different domains within a vehicle. As not all tasks are processed in the same way and requires different tools to do so, the processor needs to support and run multiple operating systems on separate displays at the same time.

Multiple Displays
The Exynos Auto supports up to four full HD displays. It enables appropriate information or contents to be displayed on the designated displays located at several domains within the vehicle.

For example, in a vehicle that features the Exynos Auto, driving assistant information can be displayed on HUD(Head-Up Display) and electronic instrument cluster while other multimedia contents or an application displayed on a main infotainment display stationed at the center console and the backseat for enjoyable riding experience for both the driver and the passengers.
Multiple OS
To ensure diverse subsystems to handle each task correctly, an in-vehicle infotainment system needs to support multiple operating systems which are specially designed for particular purpose such as RTOS(Real-Time Operating System) designed for time critical subsystems and GPOS(General Purpose Operating System) designed for general application. With the powerful computing performance, the Exynos Auto for automotive supports multiple OS including Android, Linux and QNX via Hypervisor running multiple virtual machines.
Great quality with
great ease
The Exynos Auto solutions are available as a standalone SoC or SIP(System-in-Package) module for each customer’s needs. Notably, SiP module integrates a processor with other Samsung components including DRAM and PMIC for required specification of each segment from premium to entry level. In addition, the module has a Pin2Pin compatibility with other modules at different performance level resulting in faster time to market and saving development cost.
