From the disassembly, it can be confirmed that the Tesla car system uses a customized Ryzen embedded APU based on Zen1+ instead of the rumored Zen2-based chip. The chip number is “YE180FC3T4MFG”, which does not seem to match all existing products.

According to the report, the APU is a quad-core 45W APU with 0.5MB of L2 cache and 4MB of L3 cache. The model number indicates that it is a customized Ryzen V180F embedded chip, and “FG” means Picasso APU based on the updated Zen1 micro-architecture (called Zen+).

The system is equipped with an independent dedicated card based on the Navi 23 GPU, which may have 28 computing units (instead of the previously rumored 32), 1792 stream processors, and a clock frequency of about 2.8 GHz (not yet confirmed by Tesla). According to Musk, the GPU can provide performance similar to PS5, up to 10 TFLOPs processing power.

The complete parameters of the Tesla vehicle:

• Main processor: AMD Ryzen YE180FC3T4MFG (4 core 45W Ryzen Embedded) 512 KB L2 cache per core, 4 MB L3 cache

• GPU: AMD Radeon labeled 215-130000026, the closest guess is similar to Radeon Pro W6600 graphics card

• WiFi/BT module: LG Innotek ATC5CPC001

• Mobile communication Modem: Quectel AG525R-GL

• Gateway: SPC5748GSMMJ6

• DSP 1: ADSP-SC587W SHARC+ dual-core DSP with ARM Cortex-A5

• DSP 2: AD21584 SHARC+ dual-core DSP with ARM Cortex-A5

• Ethernet switch: Realtek RTL9068ABD
