Providing Performance & Security for the Connected Car
High Horsepower Computing
Powering through 1GB per second of data generation and beyond is a breeze for the connected cars coming down the road. Infotainment, ADAS, sensor systems, communications and more demand the ability to handle real-time data and lots of it. With the technology that makes possible high-performance computing and the fastest networking devices, Rambus interface IP for memory and chip-to-chip connections enable the blazing fast performance needed in chips for connected cars.
Going Beyond GPUs with GDDR6
Supported by Micron Technology, SK Hynix and Samsung, GDDR6 SGRAM will feature a maximum data transfer rate of 16 Gbps, along with an operating voltage of 1.35V. GDDR6 offers higher densities compared to previous-generation graphics memory. In addition, GDDR6 doubles the speed (12–16 Gb/s) of GDDR5 and provides more than 5X the 3.2 Gb/s speed of DDR4. Although initially targeted at game consoles and PC graphics, the latest iteration of GDDR is expected to be deployed across multiple verticals, with Micron specifically highlighting the data center and automotive sector.
Secure OTA Communications
Rambus end-to-end security comprises a tightly integrated security ecosystem that enables simple and rapid integration into automotive supply chains. Chips and devices can be securely provisioned at time of manufacture, and securely managed through cloud-based services over the entire lifetime of a vehicle. Our cloud-based software platform enables automakers and partners to deliver Feature-as-a-Service (FaaS) by leveraging provisioned cryptographic keys and identities.
Protecting Safety, Revenue and Brand: Combating Counterfeit Semiconductors in the Automotive Supply Chain
The counterfeit market for semiconductors is real, sizable and growing. Industry analysts peg the current market for fake semiconductors at $75B. Counterfeit chips pose great risk to driver comfort and safety, to say nothing of the severe negative consequences they present to automaker revenues and brand. The good news is there are immediate and cost-effective measures available to secure the semiconductor supply chain and stop counterfeiters in their tracks.
