At CES 2025, Vivek Bhan, Senior Vice President and General Manager of High-Performance Computing at Renesas, appeared onstage with Stephen Frey from Honda during a press conference to announce that we have entered into a joint development agreement with Honda to create a high-performance system on chip (SoC) tailored for software-defined vehicles (#SDVs).
By 2030, AI performance requirements for SDVs will be 500x higher than today, demanding enormous data processing capabilities with low power consumption. That’s why we’re excited to collaborate with Honda to integrate our recently announced automotive R-Car 5th generation SoC and an AI accelerator customized for Honda’s AI software with chiplet technology. Together, we aim to provide the world’s top-class 2000 TOPS level AI processing performance with 20 TOPS/W power efficiency—enabling the future of mobility! Our solution will power Honda’s upcoming EV models in the “Honda 0 Series,” launching in the late 2020s.
Thanks to the moon, I love the video all the way to the end. Especially like this "Renesas’ R-Car solutions provide enhanced AI performance through the utilization of multi-die chiplet technology and the integration of AI accelerators into its SoC." Now spinning back to 2023 (courtesy of WaihikJoe)

Renesas manufacture the Akida IP on its R-Car V3H system-on-a-chip (SoC) platform. The Akida IP is a neuromorphic processor that is designed to accelerate artificial intelligence (AI) applications. It is based on Brainchip's Akida neuromorphic processor architecture, which is inspired by the human brain. The Akida IP is capable of running AI applications at much lower power consumption than traditional processors. This makes it ideal for a wide range of applications, including edge AI, automotive, and industrial automation.
The Renesas R-Car V3H SoC is a powerful and versatile platform that is well-suited for the Akida IP. It features a quad-core ARM Cortex-A72 processor, a quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 processor, and a Neural Network Engine (NNE). The NNE is a dedicated accelerator for neural network processing. It is based on Renesas's Synergy architecture and is designed to accelerate AI applications.
The collaboration between Renesas and Brainchip is a significant development for the AI industry. It brings together two leading companies with complementary technologies. Renesas has a strong track record in manufacturing and delivering high-performance SoCs. Brainchip has developed a leading-edge neuromorphic processor architecture. Together, they are well-positioned to bring the Akida IP to market and accelerate the adoption of AI.
Here are some of the benefits of using the Renesas-manufactured Brainchip Akida IP SoC:
- Low power consumption: The Akida IP is designed to run at very low power consumption, making it ideal for edge AI applications.
- High performance: The Akida IP is capable of running AI applications at high performance, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
- Flexibility: The Akida IP can be used in a variety of applications, including edge AI, automotive, and industrial automation.
- Scalability: The Akida IP can be scaled to meet the needs of different applications.
