Tesla CEO Elon Musk showed of🧜f new Tesla car models in June and for gaming it was especialy noteworthy as Musk deಞmonstrated the in-car entertainment system was capable of running the graphically demanding Cyberpunk 2077 with impressively smooth performance.
The latest Model S is said to be able to run triple-A games with "PS5-level performance&q🅷uot; and now the innards running the show has been revealed.
Courtesy o🉐f a teardown video we now know the electric perfᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚormance car comes with a Zen 1+ AMD Ryzen CPU and discrete Navi 23 graphics powering the in-car gaming system.
The car's AMD Zen 1+ processor is a quad-core 45W APU with 500kb of L2 cache and 4MB of L3 cache, according to . As for the GPU, the Tesla is equipped with both a dedicated and discrete graphics card based on AMD's Navi 23. Tesla claims their car is capable of offering performance on a par with new-gen consoles.
In addition to these gaming specs, the Tesla Model S is kitted out with a 17-inch &quo🦹t;cinematic display", a 960-watt audio system, and an LG Innotek WiFi module for internet connectivity.
This movabl༺e console/computer feast will set you back a cool $130,000. But what is six-figures when you could drive a couple hundred miles into the desert, say, or to the other side of a (small) country, park up, and start gaming on a 17-inch screen? Only you can make that decision.
Back at the start of 2021, Tesla unveiled updated models of its Model X and Model S cars, showing off their gaming hardware additions, which supported "up to 10 terafl💦ops of processing power". While previous models were capable of running only less demanding titles such as Cat Quest and Cuphead, the 2021 models receive a big upgrade on the gaming side.
The hardware powers Tesla Arcade, an in-car gaming system, but now drivers can play the likes of Witcher 3 on specs similar to high-end gaming systems. We have yet to see official tests of how well the latest Model S and Model Xs run triple-A games however. But for the price, you'd hope they would run The Witcher 3, which is now an old-gen game, very well, at least.
