NVIDIA launches a compact generative AI supercomputer, the Jetson Orin Nano Super Developer Kit, at $249 (reduced from $499). The palm-sized device offers up to 1.7x better generative AI performance compared to its predecessor, targeting developers, hobbyists, and students.
NVIDIA launches a compact generative AI supercomputer, the Jetson Orin Nano Super Developer Kit, at $249 (reduced from $499). The palm-sized device offers up to 1.7x better generative AI performance compared to its predecessor, targeting developers, hobbyists, and students.
The details
Performance Boost: Delivers 70% increase in performance (67 INT8 TOPS), 50% increase in memory bandwidth (102GB/s), and 1.7x improvement in generative AI inference performance. Features NVIDIA Ampere architecture GPU with tensor cores and 6-core Arm CPU.
Hardware Specifications: Includes an 8GB system-on-module (SoM) with a reference carrier board. Supports up to four cameras with higher resolution and frame rates than previous versions. Designed for running multiple concurrent AI application pipelines.
Software Ecosystem: Compatible with NVIDIA AI software suite including Isaac (robotics), Metropolis (vision AI), and Holoscan (sensor processing). Existing Jetson Orin Nano owners can access performance improvements through a JetPack SDK update.
Why it matters
This release makes edge AI development more accessible through lower pricing and improved performance. As AI shifts toward foundation models, the device provides an entry point for developers to experiment with generative AI, robotics, and computer vision applications at the edge.
