NVIDIA is taking the wraps off a new compact generative Al supercomputer, offering increased performance at a lower price with a software upgrade.

The new NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano Super Developer Kit, which fits in the palm of a hand, provides everyone from commercial Al developers to hobbyists and students, gains in generative Al capabilities and performance. And the price is now $249, down from $499.

Available today, it delivers as much as a 1.7x leap in generative Al inference performance, a 70% increase in performance to 67 INT8 TOPS, and a 50% increase in memory bandwidth to 102GB/s compared with its predecessor.

Whether creating LLM chatbots based on retrieval-augmented generation, building a visual Al agent, or deploying Al-based robots, the Jetson Orin Nano Super is an ideal solution to fetch.

The gift that keeps on giving

The software updates available to the new Jetson Orin Nano Super will also boost generative Al performance for those who already own the Jetson Orin Nano Developer Kit.

Jetson Orin Nano Super is suited for those interested in developing skills in generative Al, robotics or computer vision. As the Al world is moving from task-specific models into foundation models, it also provides an accessible platform to transform ideas into reality.

Powerful performance with super for generative Al

The enhanced performance of the Jetson Orin Nano Super delivers gains for all popular generative Al models and transformer-based computer vision, including models from Alibaba, Google, Hugging Face, Meta, Microsoft, NVIDIA, OpenAI and more.

The developer kit consists of a Jetson Orin Nano 8GB system-on-module (SoM) and a reference carrier board, providing an ideal platform for prototyping edge Al applications.

The SoM features an NVIDIA Ampere architecture GPU with tensor cores and a 6-core Arm CPU, facilitating multiple concurrent Al application pipelines and high-performance inference. It can support up to four cameras, offering higher resolution and frame rates than previous versions.

Extensive generative Al software ecosystem and community

Generative Al is evolving quickly. The NVIDIA Jetson Al lab offers immediate support for those cutting-edge models from the open-source community and provides easy-to-use tutorials. Developers can also get extensive support from the broader Jetson community and inspiration from projects created by developers.

Jetson runs NVIDIA Al software including NVIDIA Isaac for robotics, NVIDIA Metropolis for vision Al and NVIDIA Holoscan for sensor processing. Development time can be reduced with NVIDIA Omniverse Replicator for synthetic data generation and NVIDIA TAO Toolkit for fine-tuning pretrained Al models from the NGC catalog.

Jetson ecosystem partners offer additional Al and system software, developer tools and custom software development. They can also help with cameras and other sensors, as well as carrier boards and design services for product solutions.

Boosting Jetson Orin performance for all with super mode

The software updates to boost 1. 7X generative Al performance will also be available to the Jetson Orin NX and Orin Nano series of systems on modules.
