Imagine a supercomputer that fits in the palm, NVIDIA made it real. The tech giant unveiled the latest compact supercomputer that perfectly enhances the performance of generative AI and targets research students, commercial developers, and tech enthusiasts.
The new NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano Super Developer Kit comes with a software update and is available at a more affordable price. It is now labelled at $249 which was earlier priced at $499. Yet with enhanced software and not compromising the impressive capabilities.
1.7 times Efficient Performance for Generative AI Projects
NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano Super Developer Kit delivers as much as a 1.7 times inference performance for generative AI assignments compared to its predecessor. With a 70% increase in the performance reaching 67 INT8 TOPS and a 50% increase in the bandwidth to 102 GB per second. These latest improvements from the super developer kit enable the users to build chatbots, and a wide range of AI applications, including visual AI assistants. It also enhances programming efficiency for AI robots.
If you are creating LLM chatbots based on retrieval-augmented generation, building a visual AI agent, or deploying AI-based robots, the Jetson Orin Nano Super is an ideal solution to score.
The latest software update to the new Jetson Orin Nano Super will enable the existing owners of the super kit to boost generative AI performance. As the AI universe is moving from task-oriented models to foundation models, this super developer kit provides accessible solutions to turn ideas into reality.
Power Packed Performance with Super Developer Kit
This super developer kit bags a Jetson Orin Nano 8GB system-on-module (SoM), and a reference carrier board, enabling an ideal platform for prototyping edge AI applications. The SoM comes with an NVIDIA Ampere architecture GPU with unique tensor cores and a 6-core Arm CPU, enabling multiple concurrent AI application pipelines and high-performance inference. This super developer kit supports the users to connect up to 4 cameras and offers higher resolution and frame rates than its predecessors.
