View on Renesas.comOverview
The Renesas RZ/V2H combines quad Cortex-A55 application cores, dual Cortex-R8 real-time cores, and a Cortex-M33 for system management alongside Renesas' proprietary DRP-AI3 accelerator delivering up to 80 TOPS at an industry-leading 10 TOPS/W power efficiency — a 10x improvement over previous generations. The chip also integrates a separate DRP engine for hardware-accelerated OpenCV and dynamics calculations. Designed for next-generation robotics, it unifies vision AI and real-time motor/sensor control in a single SoC.
