Tesla's AI chip is 10 times faster than NVIDIA's

On Wednesday, Tesla CEO Elon Musk confirmed that his company was secretly developing an AI chip for cars from the past three years, at a rate 10 times faster than the current chip of NVIDIA.

Elon Musk once owned Zip2, X.com (now PayPal) in the past, and now is Tesla, SpaceX, SolarCity, Hyperloop, OpenAI, Neuralink, and The Boring Company.

Elon Musk said that the Tesla chip that Tesla is developing for its cars will open the door to fully autopilot.

Tesla's AI chip is 10 times faster than NVIDIA's current chip.

Tesla's achievement also helps the company less dependent and NVIDIA, thereby being able to control more and improve the effectiveness of its AI-based automation projects.

Pete Bannon, an engineer managing the Apple A5 development process in 2016, is the one who helped Tesla get a chip 10 times faster than the NVIDIA chip. Faster hardware ownership will bring better autonomous functions to Tesla's cars, while self-developing AI chips show Tesla is ready to face the competition directly in the car market. self-reliance is extremely fierce competition.

Here is Elon Musk's words about the new chip his company is developing:

"I am a hard fan of NVIDIA, they create great things. But using a GPU, basically like a simulated mode, and suddenly walking on the road, the car gets stuck in the wind. The transmission process between the GPU and the last CPU is the cause of the system being pinned in. Therefore, we have to develop a separate, secret chip from the past 2-3 years but I think maybe it's time to let everyone know because the news goes out anyway.

Pete and his team have worked wonderfully to create this chip - the world's most advanced "computer" designed specifically to perform self-propelled tasks. There are some things like this: while NVIDIA's current hardware can operate at 200 fps, Tesla's chip can reach 2,000 fps. This is a well-designed chip, and we will scale up the development team as well as increase investment as quickly as possible. I think Tesla has owned the best "weapon" in the world, but we still want to develop it more. "
