NXP Semiconductors announced Friday that it will become the first automotive chip company to jump to TSMC's 5nm process technology for the next generation "high-performance safe compute" automotive platform. NXP and TSMC expect to deliver the first sample devices to NXP's key customers toward the fall of 2021.

As "massively parallel innovations" happen in the automotive industry, car OEMs must deal with "exploding software, tremendously expensive bill of materials and improved safety" in their vehicle architecture, Henri Ardevol, executive vice president and general manager, Automotive Processing at NXP, told EE Times. With the new automotive processing platform built on N5P, an enhanced version of TSMC's 5nm technology, NXP hopes to move OEMs' "socket-by-socket" discussion to that of "entire vehicles."
