NVIDIA has unveiled the Jetson Orin Nano Super Developer Kit, a compact yet potent AI supercomputer that fits in the palm of your hand. It's tailored for developers, hobbyists, and students and offers cutting-edge performance at a fraction of the cost. At $249, it's a steal, down from the original $499.
The Jetson Orin Nano Super packs a punch: Its generative AI inference performance increases by 1.7x, 67 INT8 TOPS is boosted by 70%, and memory bandwidth increases by 50%, reaching 102GB/s. These enhancements make it perfect for creating LLM chatbots, building visual AI agents, and deploying robotic solutions, sparking excitement about its potential.

This developer kit, featuring the Jetson Orin Nano 8GB system-on-module (SoM) and reference carrier board, is a versatile platform for edge AI prototyping. Its NVIDIA Ampere architecture GPU, tensor cores, and 6-core Arm CPU enable a wide range of AI application pipelines. Plus, support for up to four cameras ensures superior resolution and frame rates for computer vision tasks, providing reassurance about its versatility.
NVIDIA's strong AI software ecosystem enhances the Jetson Orin Nano Super's potential. It supports tools like NVIDIA Issac for robotics, Metropolis for Vision AI, and Holoscan for sensor processing. Developers can also use Omniverse Replicator for synthetic data generation and the TAO Toolkit for fine-tuning pre-trained AI models.
The Jetson ecosystem supports tutorials, open-source projects, and collaborations with partners that offer custom software, developer tools, and hardware solutions, such as cameras and sensors.

The performance boost isn't restricted to the new kit. Owners of the existing Jetson Orin Nano Super Developer Kit can achieve similar results with a simple JetPack SDK software upgrade, making it an affordable choice for people who have already invested in NVIDIA technology.
As generative AI evolves, the Jetson Orin Nano Super offers an accessible platform for studying robotics, computer vision, and foundation models. Whether you are a newbie or an established developer, this small yet powerful supercomputer brings new concepts to life.
