NVIDIA Unveils Its Most Affordable Generative AI Supercomputer

NVIDIA is taking the wraps off a new compact generative AI 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 AI developers to hobbyists and students, gains in generative AI 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 AI 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 AI agent, or deploying AI-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 AI 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 AI, robotics or computer vision. As the AI 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 AI

The enhanced performance of the Jetson Orin Nano Super delivers gains for all popular generative AI models and transformer-based computer vision.

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 AI applications.

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

Extensive Generative AI Software Ecosystem and Community

Generative AI is evolving quickly. The NVIDIA Jetson AI 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 AI software including NVIDIA Isaac for robotics, NVIDIA Metropolis for vision AI 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 AI models from the NGC catalog.

Jetson ecosystem partners offer additional AI 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 AI performance will also be available to the Jetson Orin NX and Orin Nano series of systems on modules.

Existing Jetson Orin Nano Developer Kit owners can upgrade the JetPack SDK to unlock boosted performance today.
