Qualcomm said on the 2nd that it expanded its Dragonwing lineup by unveiling the Qualcomm Dragonwing Q-2390 and IQ-2390 processors ahead of IFA 2026 in Berlin, Germany. The two processors are highly integrated platforms designed to lower the barrier to using intelligent devices across the consumer, institutional sector, and industrial fields.
Dragonwing Q-2390 is a processor targeting commercial, corporations, and consumer products with tight expense, power, and size constraints. It combines application compute, on-device artificial intelligence (AI) processing, camera and display support, LTE Cat 4 and GPS-based positioning, wired and wireless connectivity, and security features into a single platform. It is applied to point-of-sale (POS) systems in retail, unattended terminals, access control devices, smart home appliances, smart agriculture, home robots, exercise equipment, and enterprise devices.
Dragonwing IQ-2390 is the first product of the new IQ2 series and an industrial processor that complements the existing IQ10, IQX, IQ9, IQ8, and IQ6 series. Aimed at small edge devices in industrial automation, oil and gas, utilities, and energy, it combines machine vision and AI compute acceleration with dual gigabit wired networking that supports time-sensitive networking (TSN) for use in human-machine interfaces (HMI), programmable logic controllers (PLC), gateways, industrial vision systems, and building automation and energy management solutions. It supports operation in temperatures from minus 30 degrees to 115 degrees Celsius and in vibration and shock environments, making it suitable for factories and outdoor industrial sites.
Both processors are equipped with a Qualcomm Kryo CPU with four compute cores, a Qualcomm Adreno 704 GPU, and a real-time RISC-V MCU, and support the Linux, Android, and Zephyr OS operating systems.
Jeff Arnold, Deputy Minister and vice president and head of auto telematics and consumer, consolidation, industrial, and embedded Internet of Things (IoT) at Qualcomm Technologies, said, "AI is fundamentally changing how connected devices are designed and built, but many product lines still struggle with expense, complexity, and integration," adding, "With these processors, we can extend intelligence to a much broader range of devices, from retail systems, smart appliances, and consumer robots to industrial controllers, machine vision systems, and core infrastructure."
