NVIDIA has just rolled out a new piece of tech that’s bound to catch the eye of tech enthusiasts: the Jetson Orin Nano Super, a "mini-supercomputer" boasting impressive AI performance without burning a hole in your pocket.
Introducing NVIDIA’s Wallet-Friendly "Orin" Mini-Supercomputer with Solid AI Capabilities
The buzz surrounding AI is unmistakable, and as commercial AI continues to evolve at a rapid pace, it only makes sense for hardware manufacturers to offer more budget-friendly solutions. NVIDIA’s latest offering – the Jetson Orin Nano Super – is designed for those eager to tap into robust AI computing without the hefty price tag that usually accompanies such tech. While NVIDIA is known for its eyebrow-raising budget releases, this one truly seems tailored for commercial AI developers seeking practical and cost-effective tools.
Now, let’s take a closer look at its specs. At its core, the mini-supercomputer sports a six-core ARM Cortex-A78E chip, running at a max boost clock of 1.7 GHz. On top of that, it houses NVIDIA’s Ampere GPU with 1024 CUDA cores and 32 Tensor cores. While this may seem on the lower end, it’s quite sufficient for standard usages. Equipped with 8 GB of LPDDR5 memory and a maximum power draw of 25W, the Jetson Orin Nano Super is crafted primarily for enhanced AI computing performance, which we’ll delve into a bit more.
NVIDIA claims this device achieves 67 TOPS in INT8 performance, a 70% jump compared to its predecessor. Additionally, its 102 GB/s memory bandwidth sees a 50% improvement. These substantial upgrades position the Jensen Orin Nano Super as an appealing choice for those with computational demands. Furthermore, NVIDIA has enhanced the Jetson series’ software suite, implementing a 1.7x boost in generative AI performance for their Orin NX and Orin Nano lines.
As for its price? The Jetson Orin Nano Super is available at just $249. That’s a compelling deal, especially given its capabilities. It’s not often that NVIDIA launches products in this price range, making the Jetson Orin Nano Super a noteworthy option for anyone eyeing budget-friendly AI performance solutions.
