Volkswagen Getting Xpeng Turing Chips Next - CleanTechnica
Volkswagen is set to adopt Xpeng’s new Turing AI chip for upcoming vehicle models, marking a shift from Nvidia’s Orin X chip previously used. These models, developed in collaboration with Xpeng, are planned for launch next year and will target the Chinese market. This partnership reflects Xpeng’s strategy to expand its business by leveraging its AI chip technology and attracting long-term partners, positioning itself as a technology leader beyond just manufacturing its own vehicles. Volkswagen and Xpeng are jointly developing two mid-class segment Volkswagen brand cars, combining their respective strengths. Volkswagen has also invested $700 million in Xpeng, underscoring its confidence in the startup’s technological capabilities amid a competitive automotive landscape. This collaboration highlights Volkswagen’s commitment to innovation and strategic partnerships to enhance its electric vehicle offerings in China.

XPENG’s latest electric SUV, the G7, has made a strong market debut, securing 10,000 pre-orders within just 46 minutes of availability. Priced starting at RMB 235,800 (approximately $32,870), the G7 offers advanced features including an 800V electrical architecture, 5C superfast charging, and a CLTC-rated range of 702 kilometers (436 miles), though real-world range may be somewhat lower. The vehicle is positioned between XPENG’s G6 and G9 models in terms of size and pricing, with dimensions of 4,892 mm in length and a wheelbase of 2,890 mm. A notable technological highlight of the G7 is its use of XPENG’s new Turing AI chip in the Ultra trim, delivering over 2,200 TOPS of computing power and enabling Level 3 autonomous driving capabilities. The Max trim retains the Nvidia Orin X chip. The G7’s combination of competitive pricing,

China has begun mass production of the world’s first non-binary AI chips, developed by Professor Li Hongge and his team at Beihang University. These chips integrate traditional binary logic with probabilistic computing through a novel Hybrid Stochastic Number (HSN) system, overcoming key limitations of current chip technologies such as high power consumption and poor compatibility with older systems. The new chips offer enhanced fault tolerance, power efficiency, and multitasking capabilities via system-on-chip (SoC) design and in-memory computing algorithms, making them suitable for applications in aviation, manufacturing, and smart control systems like touchscreens. The development leverages mature semiconductor fabrication processes, including a 110-nanometer process for initial touch and display chips and a 28 nm CMOS process for machine learning chips. The team’s innovations enable microsecond-level on-chip computing latency, balancing hardware acceleration with software flexibility. Future plans include creating specialized instructions and chip designs to further optimize hybrid probabilistic computing for complex AI tasks such as speech and image processing. Despite the promising advancements, challenges remain regarding compatibility and long-term reliability, indicating that widespread adoption and impact will require further development and validation.
