Arm China Unveils Next-Generation VPU IP

[Technology Launch] Arm China has introduced the 'Linglong' V560/V760 Video Processing Unit (VPU) IP, capable of reducing bitrates by up to 80%.

Core Development: 'Linglong' VPU Enters Full AI Video Scenarios as a Hexagonal Warrior

Arm China announced its next-generation Video Processing Unit IP—'Linglong' V560/V760 (codenamed 'Emei')—on March 24, 2026, targeting high-resolution, low-latency video processing demands driven by the convergence of intelligent driving and smart cockpit systems. Supporting mainstream codecs including H.266, this IP leverages a multi-core heterogeneous architecture and Content-Aware Encoding (CAE) technology to achieve up to 80% bitrate reduction at equivalent visual quality.
