SemiDrive, an automotive semiconductor company building SoCs and MCUs for the software-defined vehicle, has licensed and integrated Cadence Tensilica HiFi 5s DSPs into its X10 next-generation AI cockpit SoC, where they form the audio and voice subsystem. X10 has secured production collaborations with several leading automakers. The two companies worked together to bring premium, multi-zone audio and always-on voice into a single-chip cockpit design, without the external audio silicon that architectures of this class have traditionally required.
