NVIDIA has announced the Jetson Orin Nano Super Developer Kit as a new addition to its line of development hardware for artificial intelligence. It is a generative AI “supercomputer” that fits in the palm of a hand and will sell for only $249half the cost of the previous model.
As the AI landscape continues to evolve, the impact of devices like the Jetson Orin Nano Super in democratizing the development of artificial intelligence technologies, services and models will play an important role.
Aimed at developers, hobbyists and students, the kit offers great performance for AI tasks, up to 67 INT8 TOPS (trillions of operations per second), which represents an increase of 70% compared to the previous model. It also increases its memory bandwidth by 50%, reaching 102 GB/s, and promises up to a 1.7x improvement in generative AI inference performance.
At the core of the Jetson Orin Nano Super is an Ampere architecture GPU with tensor cores, along with a 6-core ARM CPU. This combination enables multiple pipelines of concurrent AI applications and high-performance inference. The kit supports up to four cameras and offers higher resolution and frame rate compared to the previous ones.
The device enables real-time decision making and responsiveness by processing data locally on devices. The kit includes a extensive software supportincluding NVIDIA AI tools like Isaac for robotics, Metropolis for Vision AI, and Holoscan for sensor processing. The company highlights community support and tutorials available through the Jetson lab.
NVIDIA highlights the versatility of the kit and suggests that it is suitable for create chatbots with large language models (LLM), AI visual agents and AI-based robots. Its Price of $249 is quite tight for the capabilities it promises, although in any case these must be independently verified.
