The EyeQx chip comes from Mobileye, a maker of Hud, autopilot that Intel acquired, as the key pedal for the latter in the UAV space.
EyeQ4 EyeQ5 and the difference is that the former still need drivers to stay in the driver's seat, there will be a handful of operations still rely on manual intervention; while the latter is completely purely autonomous driving, the industry called Level 4/5, can achieve Baidu CEO Robin Li said the "driver in the back seat dancing and drinking" scene state.
Although based on 7nm, but the deployment of EyeQ5 autopilot system power consumption is 10W, the highest in the previous generation.It is reported that a single chip TDP is 5W, Intel requires the formation of dual CPU system.
EyeQ5's main rival is the NVIDIA Xaiver or Drive PX2 platform. The cores are based on Tegra Parker chips and are based on the 16nm process with up to eight ARMv8-A 64-bit CPU cores independently designed by NVIDIA. GPUs are based on the 'Volta' (Volt) architecture, but the power consumption is as high as 30 W. However, Xaiver will be introduced in 2018, that is, production cars can be on the road by 2020.
