Qin Lihong: High memory bandwidth, real computing power, efficient collaboration, and stable mass production are the four core standards for measuring advanced automotive chips.

Mars Finance news: Recently, NIO executive Li Hong provided a full, comprehensive explanation of the Shenji NX9031 intelligent-driving chip. He directly confronted the chaos in the in-vehicle chip industry—such as parameter “water-filling” and concept marketing—and redefined the core evaluation standards for high-end advanced in-vehicle chips, breaking the industry’s one-sided publicity error of “thinking only in terms of computing power.”

In the current AI intelligent-driving era, the chip’s overall task-scheduling and dispatching capability is far more important than theoretical computing power on paper. Only the four hard-core standards—high memory bandwidth, real computing power, efficient coordination, and stable mass production—can truly define an advanced in-vehicle chip.

To address the industry’s rampant vague concepts around sparse and dense computing power, and the widespread disorder in which computing power figures are inflated by 3–6 times, NIO insists on hardcore self-research and development, refuses “text-only marketing,” and does not mislead users with one-sided parameters.

On the performance side, the Shenji NX9031, with an ultra-high bandwidth of 546GB/s, lays a solid foundation for performance. It thoroughly avoids data congestion, allows the chip’s performance to be fully unleashed, and significantly outperforms most self-developed products in the industry. Meanwhile, the chip is equipped with top-tier ISP image sensors, delivering excellent low-light perception capabilities, which provide fundamental support for precise road-condition recognition in intelligent driving.

In the area of multi-chip collaboration, this chip achieves seamless millisecond-level switching between dual chips, with coordination efficiency leading the industry. In the mass-production stage, the 5nm process Shenji NX9031 has already exceeded 250,000 units installed on vehicles, validated through massive real-vehicle road-testing verification. With genuinely solid hardware parameters, coordinated technologies, and mass-production capability, NIO has set a new industry benchmark for in-vehicle intelligent chips.
