This chip has performed excellently in hardware video encoding competitions, leading in multiple metrics. Compared to V1, Cang Hai V2 has achieved significant improvements in compression ratio and codec processing capabilities, and it integrates intelligent analysis capabilities, supporting low-cost cloud rendering" datetime: "2026-05-27T09:16:03.000Z" locales: - [zh-CN](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/287745221.md) - [en](https://longbridge.com/en/news/287745221.md) - [zh-HK](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/news/287745221.md) --- # Tencent's self-developed Canghai V2 chip has entered the mass production phase and is scheduled to provide comprehensive services in the second half of the year According to Zhitong Finance APP, on May 27, Tencent (00700) announced that its self-developed codec series chip "Cang Hai" won first place in all evaluation metrics such as SSIM, PSNR, and VMAF at all speed levels from 30 to 240fps in the hardware video encoding competition held at Moscow State University (MSU), once again breaking the compression rate limit of hardware encoding and leading by over 30% in multiple indicators. In addition, the next-generation Cang Hai V2 chip has successfully "lit up" and entered the mass production cycle based on the scale of V1, with plans to provide comprehensive services in the second half of 2026. It is understood that MSU is an authoritative event in the field of video encoding and decoding, and this hardware encoder competition attracted over 40 products from well-known companies such as AMD, NVIDIA, and Intel. Tencent stated that since the start of research and development in 2019 to mass production in 2023, the Cang Hai V1 chip has been deployed in over 100,000 units across Tencent Cloud and Tencent's own scenarios (covering live streaming, video on demand, 4K transcoding, cloud gaming, etc.). Compared to the previous generation, Cang Hai V2 has achieved multi-dimensional technological iterations: **Unified architecture supports dual standards**: Cang Hai V2 adopts a unified hardware architecture that supports both H.265 and H.266 mainstream encoding standards. With no change in picture quality, the compression rate of H.265 has improved by over 10% compared to the previous generation, while H.266 has improved by over 30%, and the encoding and decoding processing capability of a single chip has doubled. **End-to-end quality enhancement**: Cang Hai V2 integrates CPU, GPU, and computer vision (CV) processing capabilities, allowing for intelligent analysis of video directly at the underlying level, supporting processing algorithms such as super-resolution, sharpening, dehazing, and denoising, achieving end-to-end upgrades in picture quality. **Native support for low-cost cloud rendering**: For high-concurrency scenarios such as cloud gaming, V2 has built-in GPU cores. The architecture allows rendering and encoding to share video memory on the same chip ### Related Stocks - [TCEHY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TCEHY.US.md) - [00700.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/00700.HK.md) - [TCTZF.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TCTZF.US.md) - [AMD.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AMD.US.md) - [NVDA.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDA.US.md) - [INTC.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/INTC.US.md) - [80700.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/80700.HK.md) - [HTCD.SG](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/HTCD.SG.md) - [NVD.DE](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVD.DE.md) ## Related News & Research - [TikTok Owner ByteDance Is Reportedly Offering AI Staff A Sweet Deal As Talent War Heats Up](https://longbridge.com/en/news/287641148.md) - [Tencent links PayPal to WeChat Pay network, enabling US users to spend across China](https://longbridge.com/en/news/287766313.md) - [One Trade To Rule Them All](https://longbridge.com/en/news/287438627.md) - [The Broadcom Stock Paradox: Why a $2 Trillion Valuation Ignores the Base Economics of Custom Chips](https://longbridge.com/en/news/287466832.md) - [One-stock ETF high reward and high risk with double-or-less-than-nothing leverage](https://longbridge.com/en/news/287521748.md)
