The Qualcomm 8397 is the fifth-generation Snapdragon intelligent cockpit chip platform from Qualcomm, capable of supporting intelligent features such as on-device AI computing power, multimodal interaction and multi-screen linkage. The project designation covers the first batch of models in the customer's overseas product matrix. Subsequent series of models from the customer under the same platform will also be based on the 8397 Platform. The project's overseas scope covers major regions worldwide, including Europe, Central and South America and Canada, the Middle East, Asia-Pacific, Central Asia, Africa and Oceania.

The project designation marks another substantive breakthrough in PATEO's globalization strategy. It represents a leap in the company's cooperation with the leading new energy vehicle OEM, from the domestic market to a global footprint and from a mature technology platform to a next-generation platform, while further underscoring the customer's strong recognition of the company's deep technological expertise, platform-based R&D framework and global delivery capabilities.

From serving global automakers to partnering with Chinese brands in their global expansion, PATEO is advancing its globalization strategy on two complementary fronts. This cooperation is not an isolated project, but rather a further deepening of the partnership with an existing leading customer. The partnership has expanded from the domestic market to overseas markets and from a mature platform to a next-generation platform, reflecting the customer's strong confidence in the company's capabilities spanning technology development through global mass production delivery. It also serves as a typical example of an expanded partnership with an existing customer.

As the project enters the mass production and delivery cycle, its commercial value is expected to become increasingly evident. Overseas projects typically involve more demanding technical and compliance requirements, while offering relatively more favorable pricing and gross margins, which can help improve the company's overall profitability. At the same time, after entering the overseas supply chain of the leading new energy vehicle OEM, the company is expected to secure additional orders as the customer extends the same platform to more models and markets worldwide. The customer's overseas models have long product lifecycles and broad market coverage, and subsequent series of models under the same platform will all be based on the 8397 Platform, which is expected to provide the company with a more stable source of revenue.
