CORE-8550JD4
CORE-8550JD4 AI SoM

Powered by the Qualcomm QCS8550 AI processor with a 48 TOPS NPU, it supports mainstream AI models and features the Adreno 740 GPU for ray tracing and 8K video. The cognitive ISP supports up to a 100MP single or triple 36MP camera, all in a compact design with a 260-pin gold finger interface.

AI Processor QCS8550

Features an octa-core Kryo CPU in the QCS8550, powered by the ARM architecture with a clock speed of up to 3.36 GHz, delivering robust support for high-performance computing and multitasking.

Private Deployment

Supports private deployment of large-scale Transformer models (including Qwen, Llama, Gemma, DeepSeek-R1, and Phi series) and mainstream deep learning frameworks like TensorFlow, PyTorch, and ONNX.

Ray Tracing Technology

Equipped with the Adreno 740 GPU, it delivers full ray tracing support and is compatible with OpenGL ES 3.2, Vulkan 1.2, and OpenCL 3.0. Combined with Hexagon Neural Processing, it significantly boosts both graphics and AI computing performance.

8K Video Codec

Supports advanced video processing with 8K@60fps/4K@240fps decoding and 8K@30fps/4K@120fps encoding, delivering exceptionally detailed and smooth ultra-high-definition visuals.

36MP Triple Camera

Equipped with the Qualcomm Spectra Cognitive ISP featuring triple 18-bit ISPs and 2x DPHY 1.2/CPHY 2.0 interfaces, it supports flexible camera configurations up to a triple 36MP, dual 64MP+36MP, or a single 108MP setup for multi-stream vision systems.

4nm Low-Power Design

Built on a 4nm process for high efficiency and stable performance, it is ideal for always-on devices. With hardware interface compatibility to NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX/Nano, it enables rapid hardware platform iteration.

Gold-Finger Package

Features a compact 69.6mm × 45mm form factor with a standard 260-pin gold finger SODIMM interface, weighing just 16g for easy installation and broad compatibility across diverse device scenarios.

Development Toolchain

A comprehensive suite is provided—including an AI model optimization tool, video processing SDK, and reference design with full documentation—to enable efficient secondary development and accelerate the creation of proprietary products.
48 TOPS NPU Computing Power

Integrated 48 TOPS NPU supports mixed-precision computation (INT4 to FP16), enabling powerful edge AI capabilities such as intelligent data processing, voice recognition, and image analysis for most terminal devices.
