NVIDIA has expanded the NVIDIA Jetson lineup with the launch of new Jetson Orin Nano system-on-modules that deliver up to 80x the performance over the prior generation, setting a new standard for entry-level edge AI and robotics, claims its maker.
For the first time, the NVIDIA Jetson family spans six Orin-based production modules to support a full range of edge AI and robotics applications. This includes the Orin Nano, which delivers up to 40 trillion operations per second (TOPS) of AI performance in the smallest Jetson form factor, up to AGX Orin, delivering 275 TOPS for advanced autonomous machines, states NVIDIA.
Jetson Orin features an NVIDIA Ampere architecture GPU, Arm-based CPUs, next-generation deep learning and vision accelerators, high-speed interfaces, fast memory bandwidth and multimodal sensor support. This performance and versatility empower more customers to commercialize products that once seemed impossible, from engineers deploying edge AI applications to robotics operating system (ROS) developers building next-generation intelligent machines.
“Over 1,000 customers and 150 partners have embraced Jetson AGX Orin since NVIDIA announced its availability just six months ago, and Orin Nano will significantly expand this adoption,” said Deepu Talla, vice president of embedded and edge computing at NVIDIA. “With an orders-of-magnitude increase in performance for millions of edge AI and ROS developers today, Jetson Orin is the ideal platform for virtually every kind of robotics deployment imaginable.”
