BYD Secretary to the Board Li Qian: Will Continue to Invest and Focus on the Semiconductor Sector; China's First Automotive-Grade 4nm Intelligent Driving Chip, Xuanji A3, Has Started Mass Production

BYD officially announced that its first automotive-grade 4nm intelligent driving chip, "Xuanji A3", has started mass production. This marks the company's formal expansion in the automotive semiconductor sector from traditional power and analog chips to logic computing chips, further improving its full-link design and manufacturing capabilities.

Intelligent driving is the core application scenario of AI large models and machine learning on the vehicle side, placing extremely high demands on AI inference chips with high computing power and low power consumption. The mass production of the 4nm process intelligent driving chip means that BYD is providing underlying computing power support for edge-side AI perception and decision-making to meet the growing computing demands of high-level autonomous driving.

This move has a significant impact on the industry chain. Automakers' self-development of core AI computing chips helps reduce reliance on external suppliers and optimizes vehicle costs and hardware-software synergy efficiency. As automotive intelligence evolves, the value of semiconductors in the entire vehicle increases significantly, and mastering core intelligent driving chips has become key for automakers to build an intelligent moat.

In the future, BYD's continued investment in semiconductor design and production will accelerate the popularization of intelligent driving technology. This integrated hardware and software self-development model not only enhances the vehicle's own intelligent experience but may also reshape the collaborative landscape of the domestic automotive and AI chip industries.
