Qualcomm QCS605, QCS603 10nm SoCs announced for IoT devices

Qualcomm today announced "Vision Intelligence" Platform which includes a pair of new 10nm FinFET SoCs; QCS605 and QCS603 SoCs that are mainly designed for camera-equipped IoT home and industrial gadgets. The new SoCs integrate Qualcomm's advanced image signal processor (ISP) and Qualcomm Artificial Intelligence (AI) Engine, ARM-based multicore CPU; eight Qualcomm Kryo 360 CPU cores, Hexagon 685 Vector Processor, and Adreno 615  GPU. It also includes Qualcomm's advanced camera processing software, machine learning and computer vision software development kits (SDKs), connectivity and security technologies. The company says that the platform is optimized to support industrial and consumer smart security cameras, sports cameras, wearable cameras, virtual reality (VR) 360 and 180 cameras, robotics, smart displays, and more. It also said that KEDACOM and Ricoh THETA are planning to bring products based on the Qualcomm Vision Intelligence Platform. The Vision Intelligence Platform supports up to 4K video resolution at 60 frames per second (fps), or 5.7K at 30 fps. It features a dual 14-bit Qualcomm Spectra 270 ISP that supports dual 16 megapixels sensors. Additionally, the Vision Intelligence Platform includes advanced vision processing capabilities that are necessary for IoT segments such as staggered HDR, advanced electronic image stabilization, de-warp, de-noise, chromatic aberration correction, and motion compensated temporal filters in ...
