为了支持这一最新的技术平台，英特尔推出了自适应控制单元(即ACU)，该单元专为电动汽车(EV)动力系统和区域控制器应用而设计。ACU专为电动汽车设计，能够适应快速变化的需求，包括高效控制动力总成、精确调节电池管理、自动驾驶功能以及车辆的能量优化，是英特尔汽车软硬件一体战略中的关键组成部分。Intel will launch a brand new adaptive control solution and AWS virtual design environment at the International Consumer Electronics Show in 2025.
According to reports, Intel (INTC.US), the established chip manufacturer from the USA, launched a significantly expanded product portfolio and new partnerships at the 2025 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) aimed at accelerating the transition of Global Auto Manufacturers towards electrification and the "software-defined automobile" business.
It is understood that Intel now offers a complete set of exclusive technology platforms for whole vehicle integration, which includes high-performance computing, next-generation in-vehicle high-performance discrete graphics cards, AI technology with large AI model Software, power management, and localized controller solutions.
To support this latest technology platform, Intel has launched the Adaptive Control Unit (ACU), designed specifically for electric vehicle (EV) power systems and regional controller applications. The ACU is tailored for electric vehicles and can adapt to rapidly changing needs, including efficient control of powertrains, precise battery management, autonomous driving functions, and energy optimization of the vehicle, making it a key component in Intel's integrated Hardware and Software strategy for Autos.
Combining Intel's strengths in Hardware with compatible Software solutions, Intel will be positioned more favorably in the field of intelligent edge systems for electric vehicles, contending with strong competitors in the automotive chip sector such as NXP Semiconductors, STMicroelectronics, NVIDIA, and Qualcomm, providing more integrated and intelligent integrated Hardware and Software solutions for Autos.
The collaboration with Amazon's Cloud Computing platform AWS is another important initiative for Intel's strategy in the automotive sector. Through AWS's virtual design environment, Intel provides Auto Manufacturers with an efficient and flexible cloud platform for developing, simulating, and testing automotive systems and applications. This virtual design environment allows automotive engineers to conduct virtual vehicle performance testing without relying on actual Hardware, thereby accelerating the Software Development and validation processes for vehicles. By combining Cloud Computing and virtualization technologies, Intel and AWS not only enhance development efficiency but also provide Auto Manufacturers with cross-regional and cross-departmental collaboration capabilities.
Transitioning from a pure PC chip supplier to a provider of an integrated Automotive Hardware and Software ecosystem is one of the breakthrough plans Intel seeks to enact in order to escape the "darkest moment" following a significant downturn in recent performance and operational difficulties. Through the release of a series of products and solutions showcased at CES 2025, Intel demonstrates to Global investors its ambitions in the integrated Hardware and Software ecosystem within the automotive industry, striving to boost investors' Call sentiment towards Intel.
At CES 2025, Intel demonstrated that this long-established chip giant not only hopes to become a Hardware supplier for electric and Smart Automobiles (such as vehicle-grade central processors, GPU-level accelerators, control units, etc.), but also strives to provide a more complete software and Hardware integrated Intel ecosystem vehicle solution through its own AI technology, virtualization design platform, and close collaboration with partners like AWS, actively promoting the Industry towards intelligence, software definition, and cloud virtual collaboration.
