## Summary

Arduino's new Ventuno Q single board computer pairs a Qualcomm Dragonwing IQ8 (IQ-8275) octa-core SoC with an STM32H5F5 Cortex-M33 microcontroller for real-time I/O. It ships with 16GB LPDDR5, 64GB eMMC, an M.2 NVMe socket, 2.5GbE, Wi-Fi 6, 4K HDMI, dual USB 3.2 ports, CAN-FD, Raspberry Pi and Arduino UNO compatible headers, and a 104x LED matrix. The Qualcomm SoC runs Ubuntu/Debian while the STM32H5 MCU runs Zephyr-based Arduino core, all managed through Arduino App Lab. Pre-orders open at an introductory price of $299.

## Questions this post answers

### What SoC and microcontroller does the Arduino Ventuno Q use?

The Arduino Ventuno Q combines a Qualcomm Dragonwing IQ8 (IQ-8275, aka QCS8275) octa-core Kryo Gen 6 Edge AI SoC with an STMicro STM32H5F5 Arm Cortex-M33 microcontroller running at 250MHz. The Qualcomm chip includes an Adreno A623 GPU and a Hexagon NPU delivering up to 40 dense TOPS, while the STM32H5 handles real-time I/O.
