MIPS has recently launched the P8700 Series RISC-V processor, which is designed to enhance the performance and efficiency of autonomous vehicles and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).
The processor is built on the RISC-V RV64GC architecture and incorporates features that optimize power usage and cost efficiency. It supports out-of-order multi-threading and coherent multi-core and multi-cluster configurations, making it suitable for the computational needs of modern automotive applications.
The P8700 is designed to meet the ASIL-B(D) functional safety standard and includes fault detection mechanisms to handle critical data processing tasks in autonomous driving scenarios.
MIPS aims to provide a processor that can efficiently manage the large amounts of data generated by sensors in real-time. The P8700 is also designed to support software-defined vehicles and offers a flexible and scalable solution.
MIPS has established partnerships within the automotive sector and is actively engaging with OEMs to integrate its technology into upcoming vehicle models. The P8700's architecture is tailored for data-intensive processing tasks, enabling automotive OEMs to develop high-performance compute systems that consume less power and better utilize AI accelerators.
MIPS is positioned as a key player in the ongoing transformation of the automotive industry towards greater autonomy and intelligence.
