LAS VEGAS - Intel Corp (NASDAQ: NASDAQ:INTC) announced its plans to acquire Silicon Mobility SAS, a specialist in electric vehicle (EV) energy management systems, as part of its strategy to expand its artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to the automotive market. The acquisition is pending necessary regulatory approvals.
The technology giant also introduced a new family of AI-enhanced software-defined vehicle system-on-chips (SoCs) at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) on Tuesday. These SoCs are designed to improve in-vehicle experiences through AI capabilities, such as driver and passenger monitoring systems.
Zeekr, a brand under Geely Holding Group, is set to be the first original equipment manufacturer (OEM) to implement Intel's new SoC technology, aiming to bring advanced GenAI living room experiences to its next-generation vehicles.
Furthermore, Intel is committed to establishing the industry's first open automotive chiplet platform, which will allow customers to integrate their own chiplet designs into Intel's automotive products. This initiative is expected to provide OEMs with greater flexibility and cost efficiency in developing custom SoC solutions.
Intel's acquisition of Silicon Mobility is intended to extend its reach beyond high-performance computing to include intelligent power devices, which are crucial for efficient energy management in EVs. Silicon Mobility's technology portfolio includes SoCs that are co-designed with advanced software algorithms, promising significant improvements in vehicle energy efficiency.
