Tesla cars will only have on models with CPU AMD; Versions with Intel are left out

Grok Artificial Intelligence has come to Teslas, allowing users to enjoy the power of AI to make their trips much easier. However, there is a significant limitation: AI services will be limited to AMD’s Ryzen -based infettirement systems.

This means that the oldest versions of Intel apparently do not have the AI assistant, mainly due to performance limitations. Which is another bad news for the company that had to dismiss several of its employees this past week.

For AMD, it’s excellent. And the Ryzen platform seems to be the only way Tesla gets the necessary computational performance.

Available information

You need to navigate to Settings> Software> Additional vehicle information To check the hardware features of your system and access Grok AI models at Tesla. By hour, the feature will be available only in the US.

Of course, even with the resource arriving in Brazil, by far, the initial challenge is to acquire such a vehicle. A cheap model (model 3) comes out for $ 310 thousand. While a Cybertruck can be purchased for almost $ 1.8 million. A much higher cost than a RTX 5090 or a RTX Pro 6000.

In addition, for now, the implementation of the AI model is limited to user interaction. I.e, It cannot access vehicle options such as navigation or climate control.

For those who can use the feature, they can probably have a lot of fun while traveling.

Migration from Intel to AMD

Tesla trusted Intel processors until 2021, When it migrated to AMD’s Ryzen Embedded platform, notably the V3000 series. These processors are equipped with the Zen 3 architecture and a setting of up to eight cores.

They are also known to be the most advanced computing platform in Tesla’s infoentatement systems. The change probably enters as part of the mistake Pat Gelsinger admitted to having done with AI.

Grok AI models require a cutting -edge computing power. Then Tesla had to discontinue the old Intel Atom platform. Since they have limited performance, there is a small chance that grok is available in them in some moment.

Integration with grok is available with the 2025.26 software update. Therefore, it is important to verify the version of the infentable system to take advantage of the feature.
