A new generation of Qualcomm 8295 flagship chip, is it really closed？

As the last large-scale auto show at the end of 2023, at the Guangzhou Auto Show, which just ended not long ago, many auto companies came up with brand-new products at the bottom of the box and across the times, which also made people feel the efficiency of product upgrading in rims. Among many brand-new automobile products and related accessories, I personally think that Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 chip must bear the brunt.

As we all know, in the past few years, the intelligent cockpit of the bicycle rim was designed and designed, and it was basically inseparable from the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip. A good intelligent cockpit was basically based on the computing power and rendering ability of the 8155 chip, and then more functions could be derived.

However, after Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 chip was born and mass-produced and loaded, Qualcomm 8295 will be the most likely chip for bicycle rims in the next two years. According to the official data, Snapdragon 8295 chip adopts the process of 5nm, and the AI computing power reaches 30TOPS. Compared with Xiaolong 8155(7nm), its overall GPU performance is improved by 2 times, 3D rendering performance is improved by 3 times, and functions such as integrated electronic rearview mirror, machine learning vision and passenger detection are added. One chip can drive up to 11 screens, which is basically considered as "far ahead". So what are the models equipped with 8295 chips nowadays? Is it necessary to take 8295 chip as the reference standard when buying a car in the future? Today we will have a brief talk.

First of all, it was unveiled at this Chengdu Auto Show, and there are four models that were officially announced to match the 8295 chip. Let’s talk about them one by one.

A whole new generation

The cockpit of this replacement has been greatly changed. The new car adopts a cockpit style similar to S, matching the 14.4-inch central control screen and the 12.3-inch passenger screen. Based on the blessing of the 8295 chip, the brand-new MBUX car system of the vehicle will be improved in processing instructions, running speed and software matching.

At the moment when the brand-new flagship chip has not been used, it is the first to equip the E-class with 8295, which will help the E-class to take the lead in breaking the game in the whole BBA camp and become a pioneer in intelligence, which is still of great significance.

Extreme krypton 007

As we all know, the intelligent performance of the previous models of Krypton brand, especially the Krypton 001, has not been so satisfactory. As the first product in the brand new era, Krypton 007 directly took out the combination of 8295 chip and Krgptai large model in the intelligent cockpit solution this time, and is currently conducting innovative research on the intelligent cockpit with Meizu. Under such software and hardware replacement, the intelligent performance of Krypton 007 is higher than that of the previous 001.

Jiyue 01

As the product of Baidu and the joint efforts, the performance of Extreme Yue 01 in intelligence is naturally remarkable. The 8295 chip is the base, the 35.6-inch 6K screen is the carrier, and there are 11 cameras, 12 ultrasonic radars and 5 millimeter-wave radars for driving assistance. However, it should be pointed out that as an emerging brand, even with Baidu and endorsement, it is not difficult to achieve a sharp increase in sales in the short term.

Yinhe E8

As a brand-new new energy sub-brand, Yinhe L6 and L7 have also made some achievements in the market at present, and Yinhe L8, which just appeared at the auto show, is also quite interesting, with a brand-new styling style, a 45-inch 8K large screen and a special-shaped steering wheel in the cockpit, and the addition of 8295 chips, the intelligent high probability will also become a big selling point of this model.

In short, these models, as the earliest models equipped with 8295 chips, have taken the lead in intelligence and have certain advantages. However, I want to tell you that although the 8295 chips have significantly improved their computing power compared with the previous 8155 and other car-level chips, this does not mean that the vehicles with 8295 chips will have a good intelligent performance and experience for users.

I believe everyone still remembers that there were many models equipped with 8155 chips, which claimed to be the first-class intelligent performance. In the course of users’ use, there was still a problem of car jamming, which was an objective fact in previous models such as Bo Yue L, Tiggo 9 and even Krypton 001.

Whether a car machine system can be used smoothly and the response efficiency is high or low requires not only a chip with high computing power, but also the design and optimization of the car machine system and even the heat dissipation of the big screen are very important. Let’s take a simple example. Even the best mobile phone, once the heat dissipation is not good, is it still serious? The same is true of the car machine.

Then there is the software matching degree and system optimization. If you can’t do it well, it’s no use even if the best chip comes. You can see this by referring to Tucki and some ideal models equipped with 820A before. Although the chip is not as good as others, the interactive experience is really smooth, right?

Having talked so much, I want to tell you that Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 chip has a very positive effect on the future development of smart cockpit and the research and development of functions. But for consumers, we should not take 8295 chip as a hard consideration when buying a car. If there is a hard requirement for intelligence, we should actually experience it, especially after experiencing it under extreme working conditions, before making a decision.

It can only be said that without good software matching, even the best chip is just a castle in the air.
