Chery unveils automotive chip lineup spanning AI computing, silicon carbide and vehicle control

Chery unveiled its Ziwei automotive chip lineup at its global innovation conference on October 20. The portfolio comprises C-series central computing chips, S-series automotive silicon carbide chips and M-series vehicle-control chips, extending the automaker’s semiconductor development across computing and power electronics. The C100 central computing chip targets on-device physical AI. Chery said a vehicle configuration with two neural processing units can deliver up to 2,400 TOPS, with memory bandwidth of 600GB per second, to support physical-world models with 100 billion parameters. Its S1500 silicon carbide product supports a voltage rating of 1,500V. Chery also announced that its eight-inch silicon carbide wafers have entered mass production, reducing costs by more than 30%, and displayed five chip-packaging families designed to cover its vehicle platforms.
