US chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) has entered a partnership with NIO (NYSE:NIO) to supply chips to the Chinese electric vehicle maker.

NIO will use AMD’s EPYC family of processors in its HPC (high-performance computing) platform, which is expected to speed up AI deep learning training and shorten product development cycles, AMD mentioned in a video posted on Weibo.

AMD’s chips will only be used in NIO’s vehicle development, instead of in production vehicles.

NIO is currently using Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM) chips in the vehicle’s smart cockpit, and the smart driving chips are coming from Mobileye and Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA).
