Intel Atom Processors To Be Used in Nissan Infotainment Centers Starting in 2013
Intel announced yesterday that the next-generation in-vehicle infotainment system (IVI) for select NISSAN vehicles will be powered by the Intel Atom processor beginning in 2013. The IVI system features an innovative twin-display that was unveiled in the Infiniti LE, a luxury zero-emissions concept vehicle, at the New York International Auto Show this week. Infiniti is the luxury vehicle brand of the NISSAN Motor Company. This is fairly interesting news as this is a relatively new market for Intel, but it appears they have broken into the automotive market! The Intel Atom Processors that will be used in NISSAN vehicles will be the same Atom processors that you can find on other devices like smartphones and tablets. You can see the interior of the Infiniti LE in the image below.
“Technology and vehicles are integral components of everyday life and by combining the two, we can we achieve a truly connected, mobile lifestyle,” said Ton Steenman, vice president of Intel’s Intelligent Systems Group. “The processing power of the Intel Atom processor enables NISSAN to deliver information and entertainment to drivers and passengers simultaneously in a safe manner and opens the door to more enjoyable driving experiences.”
