Tesla has a new gaming computer inside its electric vehicles that can compete with the latest game consoles.
New Tesla gaming computer
With the launch of the new Model S and Model X, Tesla announced a new in-vehicle gaming computer:
“Up to 10 teraflops of processing power allow for in-car gaming on a par with today’s newest consoles via Tesla Arcade. Wireless controller compatibility allows you to play anywhere. “
A well-known chip maker, Patrick Schur, posted a diagram of the new Tesla gaming computer with AMD Navi 23 GPU:
The system is integrated and connects directly to two touch screens within the Model S and Model X to play, watch entertainment and perform some other functions:
CEO Elon Musk also revealed that the new computer has more storage space to be able to handle more games on the platform at the same time.
The videocardz website compared the specs with the existing next generation consoles – showing that it really fits well based on the specs available:
Tesla is entering the video game business
As we reported earlier, Tesla has a team of software engineers working on video games in Seattle and has recently started to form a similar team in Austin.
The automaker is building a video game platform called Tesla Arcade inside its vehicles and is working with video game studios to port games to it.
At the moment, it’s mainly to create some added value to your ownership experience, but Tesla may have bigger plans for games inside its vehicles.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has recently indicated that he believes “entertainment will be critical when cars are driving”, which he thinks Tesla can achieve later this year.
In preparation for this, the automaker has released more video games on its Tesla Arcade and has indicated that it can turn it into a business.
We saw evidence that Tesla plans to offer paid packages of different video games inside its vehicles, which would begin to enter the same business as Valve’s Steam, Playstation Store or Xbox Live store.
