VVP vs VIP Performance - VVP vs VIP Performance Hi altera, I would like to know if there's any performance as well as resource improvement on VVP compared to VIP. I am evaluating the possibility of porting an old project on C10 GX I6 grade which using scaler II,CSC II, mixer.. Thank you. Replies: Re: VVP vs VIP Performance Hi JLee25​ For the fmax detail between grade 5 and grade 6 , you may refer to our device datasheet https://docs.altera.com/r/docs/683828/current/intel-cyclone-10-gx-device-datasheet/intel-cyclone-10-gx-device-datasheet?contentId=EP31Bak3TZHiyvdju2DWUg https://docs.altera.com/r/docs/683485/current/cyclone-10-gx-device-overview/cyclone-10-gx-device-overview Hope that clarified, Regards, Wincent Replies: Re: VVP vs VIP Performance Hi Wincent_Altera​ , Thank you. Do have any idea about the performance difference between C10 GX I5 vs I6? The performance I mean is fmax. Replies: Re: VVP vs VIP Performance Hi JLee25 , We do not have an official release datasheet to differentiate between both of VVP vs VIP. But I can lay down some of the suggestion based on my understanding/experience , hope that could help you to be more clear as what you need to choose for your project. In common way, VIP = smaller & simpler for low-performance designs, while VVP = significantly more efficient when performance scales up. VIP is a legacy video processing architecture that is simpler and uses fewer resources for low-resolution, single-stream designs, but it typically supports only 1 pixel per clock and does not scale well for high resolutions like 4K. VVP is a newer, more advanced architecture that supports multiple pixels per clock, making it much better for high-resolution, high-frame-rate, and multi-stream applications. While it may use slightly more logic and introduce higher latency, it provides better overall efficiency, especially in complex pipelines, with improved DSP and memory usage. In summary, VIP is suitable for simple and existing designs, while VVP offers better scalability, performance, and long-term support for modern video systems. Hope that clarified, Next I will suggest to talk with any Altera's FAE or your Local Altera's Distributor for the product recommendation (I believe they can have a better review on your project requirement and provide the best product/IP that fit well with your project. Let me know if there is anything else you think I can better assist you. Regards, Wincent_Altera - 2026-05-18
