Qualcomm QCS8550
The Qualcomm QCS8550 (marketed as Qualcomm Dragonwing) is a system-on-chip aimed at robotics and IoT applications, built on the same silicon as the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 (SM8550) mobile platform. It is manufactured on a 4 nm process.
Its compute section combines an octa-core Qualcomm Kryo CPU (1 Prime core at 3.2 GHz, 4 Performance cores at 2.8 GHz and 3 Efficiency cores at 2.0 GHz), a Qualcomm Adreno 740 GPU with hardware ray tracing, and a Qualcomm Hexagon NPU. The AI engine delivers up to 48 TOPS at INT8 precision (12 TOPS at FP16; up to 52 TOPS combined).
The SoC supports LPDDR5/LPDDR5X memory, video decode up to 8K and the AV1 codec. With on-device AI inference it is used, among others, as the onboard compute module of the FF Master Mini educational humanoid.
