Oct. 2, 2023

Here's this week's selection of some of the most interesting new products that have been launched of late.

Modules Offer Accelerated Computing Capabilities

NVIDIA Jetson Orin modules offer accelerated computing capabilities at different performance levels and prices, with high-performance AI inference capabilities that reduce product development times. Enabling next-generation products to benefit from powerful AI, the modules offer users up to 275 trillion operations per second (TOPS) and 8X the performance of the last generation for multiple concurrent AI inference pipelines, plus high-speed interface support for multiple sensors.

Jetson Orin Nano Series modules deliver up to 40 TOPS of AI performance in the smallest Jetson form-factor, with power options between 7 and 15 W, and they're available in 8-GB and 4-GB versions. The Jetson Orin NX Series is their most advanced AI computer for smaller, lower-power autonomous machines delivers up to 100 TOPS of AI performance in the smallest Jetson form-factor, with power configurable between 10 and 25 W. Jetson AGX Orin Series modules are the most powerful AI computer for energy-efficient autonomous machines, able to deliver up to 275 TOPS of AI performance with power configurable between 15 and 60 W.

They support multiple concurrent AI application pipelines with an NVIDIA Ampere architecture GPU, next-generation deep learning and vision accelerators, high-speed IO, and fast memory bandwidth. Two Jetson Orin developer kits enable engineers to start developing and prototyping, with the compact Jetson AGX Orin Developer Kit making it possible to develop of AI-powered products. The Jetson Orin Nano Developer Kit is smaller and includes a reference carrier board compatible with all Orin NX and Orin Nano modules for creating entry-level AI-powered robots, smart drones, and intelligent cameras.
