Yesterday, TESLA announced its updated Model S, which brings a range of new features, including a new infotainment system that brings 10 power TFLOPs, the same power as Sony’s PS5 and supposedly equipped with Navna 23 GPU based on RDNA 2 from OMG.
TESLA Model S 2021 features the same gaming power as Sony’s PS5 and can run Cyberpunk 2077, allegedly based on AMD’s Navi 23 RDNA 2 GPU
According to TESLA, its infotainment system will be based on the Tesla Gaming Arcade platform. It comes with a 17 “main cinematic screen that features a 2200×1300 resolution and a secondary screen for second row passengers.
TESLA claims that its infotainment system allows for up to 10 TFLOPs of processing power that is on par with current generation consoles, such as the Sony PS5. The infotainment system is compatible with the wireless controller and allows you to play anywhere. And although TESLA does not mention any specifications for this particular system, the hardware scenario gives an idea of what could be under the hood of the latest S model.
One of the first people to report that the Tesla Model S would run on an AMD RDNA 2 GPU was Patrick Schur, who is a highly respectable insider for several hardware leaks. According to him, the TESLA Model S will use the Navi 23 GPU, which is a derivative of the Navi 2 SKUs and the smallest in the group. The Navi 21 GPU is featured in cutting edge and flagship designs, while the Navi 22 GPU will focus on the main segment. The Navi 23 GPU will be aimed at the entry segment, but it is still no match for the existing consoles.
In a block diagram that originates from TESLA Motors itself, it is shown that the Navi 23 GPU will actually power the infotainment system on the Tesla Model S 2021. It has a 128-bit bus interface with four 2 GB DRAM modules that allow 8 GB of GDDR6 memory (K4ZAF325XM arrays). The memory would operate at 14 Gbps to provide a total bandwidth of 224 GB / s. The AMD Navi 23 GPU would connect to the main B2B connector via a PCIe Gen 3 x8 link and feature HDMI 1.4.

There are no specifications for the configuration of the supplied GPU, but it is speculated that the Navi 23 GPU would have a maximum of 32 computing units or 2048 cores. A clock speed of up to 2.44 GHz would be required to achieve 10 TFLOPs of computing power. Other details mentioned in the GPU block diagram include a 4-phase power regulator and several thermal diodes and a 100 MHz oscillator. Details about the TDP or thermal output of the AMD Navi 23 GPU are not mentioned.

He can play Cyberpunk
– Elon Musk (@elonmusk) January 28, 2021
Elon Musk himself says that the infotainment system can play Cyberpunk 2077, which means that the system has enough power to run all the games released so far. The Plaid Model S 2021 will ship next month and costs $ 79,990. You can learn more about it here.
