Continental and Telechips collaborate on Smart Cockpit High-Performance Computers

Korean semiconductor company Telechips supplies Continental with its Dolphin System on Chip (SoC) family. The SoC is adapted to the pre-integrated function set of Continental's Smart Cockpit High-Performance Computers (HPCs) and offers ideal system performance for cluster, infotainment and visualization of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). With the new hardware, a sweet spot between performance, costs, and reduced development times is achieved. The Smart Cockpit HPC is designed for typical cockpit setups with driver and central displays, as well as assistance systems with up to five cameras.  "Collaborating with Telechips, we are enormously reducing development effort and costs for automotive manufacturers. Thus, we will be able to serve our customers from order intake to series production in 18 months," explains Jean-François Tarabbia, Head of the Architecture and Networking business area at Continental.  The new Smart Cockpit HPC solution combines the powerful processors of the Dolphin family with pre-integrated functions, enabling great user experience beyond the premium segment.  “We are grateful to have established a collaboration with Continental, a global leader in automotive technology. Telechips, now adopted as the standard for Continental's Smart Cockpit HPC solution, has recently met key international standards such as ISO26262, TISAX, and ASPICE. This demonstrates full readiness for
