A renowned technology expert shared what might well be a block diagram that describes some details of the gaming system / GPU infotainment of the gaming system / infotainment of the Model S and the Model X update. Based on the information presented in the leak, it appears that Tesla’s car gaming system would indeed be on par with some of the most popular consoles on the market.
Patrick Schur, which has earned a reputation for leaking details about upcoming technology, shared the image on its Twitter page. According to the leaked block diagram, Tesla will reportedly use an AMD Navi 23 GPU for its integrated infotainment system, which would be equipped with 16 Gb (2 GB) Samsung GDDR6 memory chips (K4ZAF325XM). Considering that there are four modules represented in the leaked diagram, it appears that Tesla’s infotainment system will have 8 GB of memory in total.
It should be noted that the memory is 14 Gbps and is coupled to a 128-bit memory bus, which should provide a maximum bandwidth of 224 GB / s, similar to the Xbox Series S. The diagram also shows that the system offers DisplayPort and HDMI 1.4 Connections along with PCIe Gen4 x8 (8 Gb / s), which are connected to integrated monitors and a board-to-board (B2B) connector.
Tesla’s official Web pages for the Model S and Model X update note that the in-car gaming system offers up to 10 teraflops of processing power, which is comparable to those offered by dedicated game consoles like the Sony PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X. As noted in a videocardz.com report, Tesla would have to employ 32 computing units from the GPU Navi 23 (2048 flow processors) clocked at least 2.44 GHz to achieve such FP32 computing power.
Interestingly, rumors that Tesla was using the AMD Navi 23 GPU for its next generation infotainment system have been around for some time. Last November, Schur noted on Twitter that the EV manufacturer was looking to use the AMD Navi 23 for its vehicles’ infotainment systems. The leaker said in a later tweet that AMD and Tesla were not very happy with the information he posted.
Overall, it seems that Elon Musk was not kidding when he observed that Teslas would be able to run high-level games, such as Cyberpunk. After all, ten performance teraflops and an AMD Navi 23 GPU may seem overkill for an infotainment system and automotive games, but it does provide Tesla’s electric vehicles with enough computing power to run high-quality games. Some of them have been suggested recently, such as Witcher III, which is featured on the Model S and Model X update pages, and Cyberpunk, which Elon Musk personally mentioned on Twitter.
