Auto Chip Developer SiEngine Unveils Its First Smart Cockpit Chip

Wuhan-based car chip designer SiEngine Technology Co. Ltd. has unveiled its first automotive-grade smart cockpit chip which it says is scheduled to enter mass production and be installed in vehicles by the end of 2022.

The launch of the new system-on-a-chip (SoC) named DragonHawk 1, which will be made by Taiwan chipmaker TSMC using its advanced 7-nanometer (nm) manufacturing technology, comes as a global semiconductor crunch wreaks havoc on the automotive sector with many carmakers cutting their outlook for deliveries.
