It might seem – a car and a gaming console – what could Tesla Model S Plaid and PlayStation 5 have in common? And there is a similarity. Tesla’s engineers equipped the vehicle’s onboard computer with incredible power. What’s the point of spending on a PlayStation 5 if you can buy a car with a gaming console included.
Tesla Model S Plaid – the car of the future
The declared technical specifications are for motorists. Range – 625 km, acceleration to 100 km/h in 2 seconds. Electric motor, suspension, driving characteristics. In terms of IT technologies, other capabilities attract attention. The onboard computer of the Tesla Model S Plaid has a performance of 10 TFLOPS. Yes, this same power can be delivered by the Sony PlayStation 5 gaming console.
The onboard computer is built on an AMD Navi 23 chip. It uses RDNA 2 architecture, with 2048 stream processors. All operate at the same frequency – 2.44 GHz. In fact, if you connect the vehicle system to the Internet, you can safely mine Bitcoin.
But Tesla offers something more interesting. Namely – games on the onboard computer display. A photo of the Tesla Model S Plaid interior has appeared online. Clearly visible on the screen is the game The Witcher 3. By the way, the new Cyberpunk 2077 computer can also run it. However, you won’t be able to play while driving with autopilot enabled. Games start when the “manual brake” mode is on. But this is a computer – any restrictions can be bypassed if you have the desire.
