As you know, wherever an automobile news is made, wherever a production process is mentioned, the phrases “chip crisis” or “semiconductor material crisis” are added immediately after this information. The worst part is that this problem, which was triggered by the corona virus epidemic that started in late 2019 and gradually became a global crisis, seems to occupy our agenda for a while, in line with the expectation that Covid-19 will continue its impact in 2022.
However, there is no good news from the industry. The latest of these good news came from Samsung.
Seeing the increasing chip demand in the automobile world and realizing that there is a big cake here, Samsung turned its focus to the automobile industry and started to supply chips to Volkswagen as its first important customer.
According to the statement made by the parties, the new generation chips produced by Samsung will be used in the multimedia system produced by LG Electronics for Volkswagen.
When we look at the details of this trade, which started with 3 different chips in the first place, the chip named Exynos Auto T5123 will draw the audio and video load of the multimedia system, the S2VPS01 Power IC chip will have a power management function for fixed electricity support, and the Exynos V7 chip will have four screens and 12 cameras. It has been learned that it can meet the needs of even the most robust multimedia systems in terms of providing as much support as possible.
