Video Code Engine (VCE, was earlier referred to as Video Coding Engine,[1] Video Compression Engine[2] or Video Codec Engine[3] in official AMD documentation) is AMD's video encoding application-specific integrated circuit implementing the video codec H.264/MPEG-4 AVC. Since 2012 it was integrated into all of their GPUs and APUs except Oland.
VCE was introduced with the Radeon HD 7000 series on 22 December 2011.[4][5][6] VCE occupies a considerable amount of the die surface at the time of its introduction[7] and is not to be confused with AMD's Unified Video Decoder (UVD).
As of AMD Raven Ridge (released January 2018), UVD and VCE were succeeded by Video Core Next (VCN).
