Nvidia’s $249 Dev Kit Promises Cheap, Small Ai Power

Nvidia announced nan latest successful its Jetson Orin Nano AI instrumentality line, nan Jetson Orin Nano Super Developer Kit. Sort of for illustration a Raspberry Pi but for powerful AI processing, nan mini $249 instrumentality packs overmuch of an AI processing punch than nan kit did earlier — for half nan price. It’s disposable to bargain now.

The Jetson Nano connection has been a low-cost measurement for hobbyists and makers to powerfulness AI and robotics projects since its preamble successful 2019. Nvidia says nan Nano Super’s neural processing is 70 percent higher, astatine 67 TOPS, than nan 40 TOPS Nano. It too has 50 percent overmuch practice bandwidth, astatine 102GB/s, which should velocity up those operations.

The Jetson Orin Nano Super kit uses fundamentally nan aforesaid hardware arsenic nan original Orin Nano kit, and nan institution says it will get nan aforesaid capacity gains pinch a caller JetPack update. Nvidia says nan boost comes from “a caller powerfulness mode which increases nan GPU, memory, and CPU clocks.”

Nvidia’s Jensen Huang showed disconnected nan Nano Super successful a video:

The developer kit includes a reference bearer committee and a Jetson Orin Nano 8GB system-on-module, comprised of an Nvidia Ampere GPU pinch tensor cores and 6-core Arm CPU. Nvidia calls nan Nano Super Developer Kit “an cleanable solution” for building chatbots aliases ocular AI agents, arsenic bully arsenic AI-based robots.
