September 10,under GeelyLynk & Co brand luxury smart enjoy super powerSUV–Lynk & Co08 Officially listedAsA one that focuses on intelligent networkingNew flagship,Lynk & Co08 With its comprehensive configuration of rich software and hardware, it will further meet users’ various needs for intelligent experience.
First of all, in terms of cockpit intelligence, Lynk & Co 08 is equipped with the Antola 1000 Pro computing platform developed by Yikatong. The platform integrates two 7nm "1" chips of Core Engine Technology, with an NPU computing power of up to 16TOPS and a GPU computing power of 1800G FLOPS. While supporting a variety of cockpit entertainment interactions and rich application ecosystems, the 16 TOPS NPU computing power of the dual "1" can also provide L2-level auxiliary driving functions including assisted parking, remote parking and other full-scene parking.

Public information shows that the mass production of the Lynk & Co 08 is the first domestic car-grade high-end smart cockpit chip, using the most advanced 7-nanometer process of the car-grade chip, integrated 87-layer circuit, 8.80 billion transistors, it has 8 CPU cores (of which the large core is Cortex-A76), integrated with programmable NPU core. It is understood that in the core SoC "No. 1" used in the Ekaton Antola 1000 Pro computing platform, the AI computing power is enabled by the "Zhouyi" NPU developed by Arm Technology, a well-known semiconductor IP manufacturer. It has many innovations in high-performance computing power, AI performance, and other aspects. It helps the vision/voice algorithm in the cabin, as well as autonomous parking and L2-level assisted driving, to meet the requirements of high performance, high reliability and high safety for vehicle-grade hardware. In March this year, Core Engine Technology and Arm Technology also announced that they will continue to deepen cooperation in the field of high-end vehicle-grade chips. It is worth mentioning that Core Engine Technology is jointly funded by Geely’s Ekaton and Arm.
In terms of car and machine, Lynk & Co 08 is equipped with LYNK Flyme Auto, an intelligent cockpit car and machine system jointly created with Meizu. Through deep integration with mobile phones, it realizes "silky" operation. At the same time, it also takes the lead in launching industry-leading "non-sensory" to unlock the car, "non-sensory" navigation flow, "non-sensory" application cross-border and other triple non-sensory experiences, and has developed four industry-leading functions such as non-sensory connection, unbounded desktop, hardware sharing, and Inter-App communications visibility.
In addition, in terms of intelligent driving, Lynk & Co 08 is also equipped with two Huashan No. 2 A1000 chips from Black Sesame Smart. The chip is equipped with an 8-core A55 1.6GHz CPU, and the single computing power reaches 58TOPS (INT8) and 116TOPS (INT4), helping Lynk & Co 08 realize a number of ADAS intelligent driving auxiliary features.
This means that the smart cockpit and smart driving part of Lynk & Co 08 use all domestic chips. According to the monitoring data of the Institute of Intelligent Automobile of High Technology, in 2022 the front of passenger cars in the Chinese market (excluding import and export) will be equipped with Qualcomm platform cockpit domain controller 566,200 units (an increase of more than 100% year-on-year), accounting for 32.79% of the overall market. With the official debut of Lynk & Co 08, it also broke the situation that high-performance car standard chips are monopolized by foreign manufacturers, providing a new choice for Chinese car companies.
It is not difficult to see that on the basis of domestic self-developed chips, Lynk & Co 08 is fully meeting the various needs of users for intelligent experience with super-strong software and hardware comprehensive configuration. At the same time, it also takes the user as the core, and once again interprets the new definition of "luxury experience".
