Ambarella Launches Next-Generation 5nm Process AI SoC

Ambarella announced the launch of CV72AQ, an AI vision system-on-chip (SoC) based on Ambarella's next-generation CVflow®3.0 AI architecture, aimed at the automotive application market. Through the latest CVflowTM architecture, under the same power consumption, the AI performance of CV72AQ is 6 times higher than that of the previous generation product CV22AQ, and it can also efficiently run the latest deep learning algorithm based on Transformer neural network.

Efficient AI performance allows CV72AQ to simultaneously support the fusion of cameras, millimeter-wave radars, and ultrasonic radars. Combined with rich functions such as high-performance ISP image processing and H265 encoding, CV72AQ is an ideal platform for solutions such as front-view ADAS all-in-one machine, single-chip 6V5R "walking and parking all-in-one".

In the CV72AQ, Ambarella follows the "algorithm first" design concept and tailor-made for the CVflow 3.0 architecture, so as to achieve the best AI performance per unit of energy consumption. CV72AQ integrates Ambarella's next-generation ISP, which can provide excellent high-definition images even in extremely low light, and continues to maintain Ambarella's leading position in the image signal processing industry. CV72AQ has a high-efficiency video encoder that can support up to 8MP90 (720MP/s) image processing and simultaneous video encoding, which is 3 times better than the previous generation CV22AQ. The CPU performance of CV72AQ SoC is also improved by 2 times compared with the previous generation CV22AQ. It can provide a single-chip solution for front-view ADAS and multi-camera parking system, including camera and radar fusion, which not only reduces the overall BOM cost, but also reduces the software cost. Complexity.

Our latest SoC, CV72AQ, continues to accelerate innovation in the automotive market by delivering higher AI performance and throughput to the industry without increasing power consumption.

The president and CEO of Ambarella said: "Through the 5-nanometer automotive process and the third-generation CVFlow, higher chip integration, processing efficiency, and higher AI performance are achieved, making it possible to design a single-chip domain controller."

Using the proprietary Oculii™ Virtual Aperture Imaging (VAI) AI radar technology, Ambarella integrates hardware acceleration into the CV72AQ for fusion with camera image data and dynamic control between radar and camera. Ambarella Aocool's radar technology delivers 10x to 100x higher resolution than other traditional radar solutions on the market today. These radars and the ability to incorporate AI processing support automotive perception systems that can function even in harsh weather conditions such as rain, snow and fog, enhancing image data from cameras in dark environments at night.

Ambarella CVflow AI development platform provides a complete set of easy-to-use algorithm development and optimization tools, supporting all common machine learning frameworks. With its rich integration functions and excellent compatibility, this set of tools supports all Ambarella CV series AI SoCs. With this set of AI tools, CV72AQ further reduces product design and development costs and maximizes software reusability.
