The Neoverse V3AE processor is at the core of the AE lineup–a significant move to port Neoverse technology into the automotive sector for the first time. The V3AE is designed to deliver server-class performance, providing a more than 50% uplift in per-core performance over its predecessor, the Cortex-A78AE. The Neoverse V3AE integrates Armv9's novel security features, such as memory tagging extensions, pointer authentication, branch target identification, and hardware-based virtualization support.

"From our discussions with partners, it's very clear that with this growing demand for AI, there was a need for more high performance in automotive," Vachani said. "These autonomous use cases demand more and more raw CPU performance for the AI workloads. To deliver on this need, we looked to our cores that were being developed by the data center market."

Complementing the Neoverse V3AE are the Arm Cortex-A720AE and Cortex-A520AE processors. The Cortex-A720AE, purpose-built for automotive applications, offers sustained performance and system-on-chip (SoC) design flexibility. The device is tailored for a broad spectrum of SDV applications, from infotainment systems to more complex autonomous driving functions. The Cortex-A520AE, on the other hand, is engineered for power efficiency, incorporating functional safety features to scale across a wide array of automotive applications, ensuring both performance and safety.
