Radxa VMARC-Q9075 Packs 200 TOPS AI in an 82mm SMARC Module

Radxa VMARC-Q9075 Qualcomm Dragonwing compute module

Radxa has expanded its embedded portfolio with the VMARC-Q9075, a high-performance Qualcomm Dragonwing compute module built around the Dragonwing IQ-9075 platform. The SMARC-format module measures 82 × 80mm and targets edge AI, robotics, machine vision, and industrial applications that need substantial compute performance in a compact design.

The VMARC-Q9075 combines an eight-core Kryo Gen 6 CPU running at up to 2.36GHz with an Adreno 663 GPU and a Hexagon Tensor Processor capable of up to 200 Sparse TOPS of INT8 AI performance. It also integrates 36GB of LPDDR5 memory, 128GB of UFS 3.1 storage, and a four-core Cortex-R52 MCU for real-time control workloads.
