Tesla begins to deliver Model 3/Y with AMD Ryzen chips in North America
Previously, there were reports that Tesla began to deliver Model Y Performance in China, and its manufacturing information showed. This model is equipped with an AMD Ryzen processor, which replaces the Intel Atom A3950 processor (quad-core/1.6GHz) used in the past, which is the same as the 2021 Model S and Model X.
Recently, according to information released by Twitter user @teslascope, it is shown that the Model 3 and Model Y produced by Tesla’s factory in Fremont, California, are equipped with MCU3 (Infotainment Computer with AMD Ryzen). The first batch of products has been delivered. Tesla should gradually adopt the same AMD solution to fully replace Intel’s chips.
In the past few years, Tesla has cooperated with Nvidia, Intel, and AMD. Tesla used Nvidia’s SoC in the original model but started to switch to Intel Atom processors on Model 3 and newer versions of Model X and Model S three years ago, and this year began to change to AMD’s customized products.
At this year’s Taipei Computer Show, AMD CEO Dr. Lisa Su has confirmed that Tesla’s new cars will use AMD’s customized products. Subsequently, Elon Musk held the delivery ceremony of the new electric car at the California factory, showing the first model using the new in-vehicle infotainment system. It is equipped with AMD’s APU, which is a customized Ryzen V180F embedded chip, based on Zen+ architecture, 4 cores, and 8 threads, 2MB of L2 cache, 4MB of L3 cache.
