On December 16, news emerged indicating that Lenovo Group is intensifying its collaborative efforts with Infineon Technologies, aiming to jointly propel the next stage of autonomous driving technology forward. Lenovo's premier autonomous driving domain controllers, namely the AD1 and AH1, seamlessly incorporate Infineon's AURIX™ microcontroller technology. This integration offers robust backing for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), while also achieving remarkable energy efficiency and high-speed data communication capabilities.

The AD1 is constructed upon the NVIDIA DRIVE Dual Thor-X platform, boasting a single-chip CPU performance of 87@SPECRate_int2017 and an AI computing prowess of up to 2000TOPS@INT8. This enables it to support flexible computing power allocation for intricate scenarios, such as those encountered in Robotaxi services and unmanned freight transportation.

On the other hand, the AH1, which is built on the NVIDIA DRIVE Thor-U platform, delivers a computing power of 700TOPS, nearly tripling that of its forerunner. It leverages the Arm V9.2-A architecture and incorporates a novel Transformer engine, substantially boosting inference efficiency and supporting functions like urban NOA (Navigate on Autopilot) and valet parking.

The partnership between the two companies is geared towards driving enhancements in automotive-grade safety travel systems and expediting the commercialization of autonomous driving technology through synergistic endeavors in the realm of 'computing power + chips.'
