Technical details
Dragonwing IQ10 is Qualcomm's flagship robotics processor for humanoids and advanced AMRs, launched at CES 2026 with an end-to-end physical-AI stack. It combines up to 18 Oryon CPU cores (Qualcomm cites more than 5x IQ9 CPU performance), an Adreno GPU and a Hexagon NPU rated up to 700 sparse INT8 TOPS for concurrent perception, planning and VLA/VLM inference. A safety-certifiable real-time subsystem, up to 20 concurrent cameras and industrial I/O (PCIe Gen 5, 10GbE with TSN) target production robots. Figure is collaborating with Qualcomm on next-generation compute architecture.
