Hyundai’s next-gen in-vehicle infotainment systems will be powered by Samsung Exynos Auto V920

Samsung Electronics has partnered with Hyundai Motor Company to power the automaker's next-generation in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) systems. The Exynos Auto V920, Samsung's third-generation automotive processor for advanced IVI systems, has been chosen for this collaboration, marking the first joint effort between the two companies in the field of automotive semiconductors.

The Exynos Auto V920 boasts significant upgrades in CPU, graphics, and neural processing performance. These improvements enable the processor to deliver an exceptional in-vehicle experience by facilitating a real-time display of critical driving information, seamless playback of graphics-rich video content, and support for gaming on multiple displays.

Built on a 10-core Arm CPU design, V920 offers a processing performance that is 1.7 times greater than the previous generation. The processor supports LPDDR5 memory, enabling efficient management of up to six high-resolution displays for dashboard, infotainment, and rear seat entertainment systems, along with up to twelve camera sensors for capturing crucial visual information.

The Samsung Exynos Auto V920 also brings significant enhancements to graphics and artificial intelligence (AI) performance, improving the visual presentation on displays and optimizing driver interaction with in-car information. The processor also integrates advanced GPU cores to provide graphics processing capabilities that are up to two times faster than the previous generation.

The V920's neural processing unit (NPU) incorporates the latest computing cores, delivering a performance that is 2.7 times greater than its predecessor. This enables support for advanced driver monitoring features, allowing for better detection of the driver's state and swift assessment of the surrounding environment.

In terms of safety, the Exynos Auto V920 includes an embedded safety island that complies with Automotive Safety Integrity Level B (ASIL-B) requirements. This safety island detects and manages faults in real time, ensuring the security of the IVI system.

The anticipated rollout of Hyundai's next-generation IVI systems is expected by 2025.

"We are thrilled to be collaborating with Hyundai Motor, a prominent global mobility manufacturer, and we anticipate that this partnership will further solidify our position in the automotive infotainment space," said Jae Geol Pyee, Executive Vice President of Sales & Marketing, System LSI Business at Samsung Electronics.
