• This full reverse costing study has been conducted to provide insight on technology data, manufacturing cost andselling price of the Mobileye EyeQ4® processor.
• After releasing the EyeQ2® processor in 2010 and the EyeQ3 in 2014, the two vision processors at the core of theAutonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) revolution that has already saved hundreds of lives. Mobileye, leader on themarket, just launched in 2018 the EyeQ4® processor which offers 10 times the processing capability of the EyeQ3®.EyeQ4® supports now, in addition to the previous chips, mapping using REM, Driving Policy, Vehicle detection fromany angle and next generation lane detection.
• With the generalization on all vehicles of AEB and the arrival of the Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), thevision processor market is predicted to grow with an impressive CAGR of 90% from 2018 to 2024 according to YoleDeveloppement. In this highly competitive market, Mobileye is currently the leader of Camera-based AdvancedDriver Assistance Systems with products currently available in 160 car models from 18 original equipmentmanufacturers (OEM) including General Motors, Nissan, BMW and Honda.
• The EyeQ4 is still developed with STMicroelectronics, the manufacturer of the die. The EyeQ4 is based on the28nm FD-SOI low consumption technology from STMicroelectronics. Thanks to the SOI substrate, the EyEQ4 is 10time more powerful than the EyeQ3 for a power consumption only 20% upper.
• The EyeQ4-High® processor integrates four multi-threaded MIPS InterAptiv processor cores, coupled with six coresof the new generation of Mobileye’s Vector Microcode Processors (VMP), two Multithreaded Processing Cluster(MPC) cores and two Programmable Macro Array (PMA) cores.
• The EyeQ4-Mid® processor integrates three multi-threaded MIPS InterAptiv processor cores, coupled with fourcores of the new generation of Mobileye’s Vector Microcode Processors (VMP), one Multithreaded ProcessingCluster (MPC) core and one Programmable Macro Array (PMA) core. It can only process one camera while theEyeQ4-High can process 3 cameras.

After releasing the EyeQ2® processor in2010 and the EyeQ3® in 2014, the twovision processors have been at the core ofthe Autonomous Emergency Braking(AEB) revolution that has already savedhundreds of lives. In 2018 Mobileye, themarket leader, launched the EyeQ4®processor, which offers ten times theprocessing capability of the EyeQ3®.EyeQ4® adds supports for mapping usingRoad Experience Management, DrivingPolicy, vehicle detection from any angleand next-generation lane detection. Thevision processor market is predicted tohave an impressive Compound AnnualGrowth Rate (CAGR) of 90% from 2018 to2024 according to Yole Développement.Mobileye is currently the leader ofcamera-based ADAS, with productscurrently available in 160 car modelsincluding General Motors, Nissan, BMWand Honda.
The EyeQ4® chipsets are developed byMobileye and manufactured bySTMicroelectronics using the proprietary28nm Fully Depleted Silicon On Insulator(FD-SOI) low power consumptiontechnology. Thanks to the SOI substrate,the EyeQ4® is 10 times as powerful as theEyeQ3® for just 20% more powerconsumption.
The EyeQ4®-High and -Mid processors,found in the ZF S-Cam4 Tri-cam andMono-cam cameras, integrates multi-threaded Microprocessor from MIPS.These cores are coupled with the newgeneration of Mobileye’s Vector Micro-code Processors (VMP), Multithreaded
Processing Cluster (MPC) cores andProgrammable Macro Array (PMA) coresto manage up to three cameras at thesame time.
This report contains a complete teardownanalysis and a cost estimation of theEyeQ4®-High and-Mid processors. In afirst part, information about the packageand the overall die data: dimensions, maincharacteristics, markings ; are present.Then high-definition optical and SEMpictures of selected areas show the mainIntellectual Property (IP) blocks ans thetransistors' design. Finally, cross-sectionsof integrated circuits (ICs) allow tounderstand the manufacturing process.
The report features an exhaustivecomparison between the EyeQ4®-Highand -Mid versions and the previousEyeQ3®, highlighting the improvements,similarities and differences between thesethree circuits.
