Tencent Cloud announced that its in-house developed Canghai series codec chips entered mass production. The company began research and development of these chips in 2019 and plans to provide services using them in the second half of 2026.
Tencent is moving its in-house Canghai codec chips from development into mass production, which gives the company a concrete hardware base for future services. The timeline matters because Tencent Cloud is linking chip production to a planned service launch in the second half of 2026, not just an internal test. For the streaming video stack, codec chips sit directly in the encoding path, so this is a signal that Tencent is committing resources to the infrastructure side of video delivery. Watch for any further detail on which Tencent Cloud services will use Canghai chips in 2H26.
