Video Core Next

Video Core Next is AMD's brand for its dedicated video encoding and decoding hardware core.

Background

Video Core Next is AMD's successor ASIC to both UVD and VCE.[1] It can be used to decode, encode and transcode ("sync") video streams, for example, a DVD or Blu-ray Disc to a format appropriate to, for example, a smartphone. Unlike video encoding on a CPU or a general-purpose GPU, Video Core Next is a dedicated hardware core on the processor die. This application-specific integrated circuit design can allow for a much more power efficient video processing.[2][3]

Support

Video Core Next supports: MPEG2 Decode, MPEG4 Decode, VC-1 Decode, H.264/MPEG-4 AVC Encode/Decode, HEVC Encode/Decode, and VP9 Decode.[4]
