News Highlights:

• Arm introduces latest addition to the Arm Safety Ready program, a new “Automotive Enhanced” processor designed to help enable safe next generation driver experiences
• Optimized for 7nm: Cortex-A65AE is Arm’s first multithreaded processor with integrated safety for handling sensor data in autonomous and high throughput needs in IVI/cockpit systems
• Simultaneous multithreading optimized for high throughput workloads and offers best performance efficiency

Winning the trust of consumers is critical, and to deliver these trusted experiences car makers need solutions that achieve the right balance of innovation and safety while being deployable, scalable and ready for mass production. A broad range of compute is required to meet the needs of tomorrow’s vehicles, and one size will not fit all when it comes to the compute powering these vehicles.

Today, we are announcing the Arm Cortex-A65AE as the latest addition to Arm’s Automotive Enhanced portfolio of IP, designed for more efficient processing of the multiple streams of sensor data being generated in next generation vehicles, which will help enable new driver experiences safely.
