NVIDIA has launched the Jetson Orin Nano Super Developer Kit, the new kit delivers a staggering 1.7× performance boost for generative AI tasks, thanks to a "Super Mode" that unlocks higher GPU and CPU clock speeds. Priced at just $249 (down from $499) it’s now more accessible than ever to those itching to prototype edge AI applications.
What’s impressive is that the hardware remains the same, it has an 8GB system-on-module (SoM) with an Ampere architecture GPU and a 6-core ARM Cortex-A78AE CPU. By cranking up the power draw to 25W in Super Mode, the GPU clocks jump from 625MHz to 1,050MHz, and the CPU sees a modest boost to 1.7GHz. This means faster inference for popular generative AI models and enhanced multitasking across multiple AI pipelines. More technical information is available on Jetson Orin Nano Datasheet from Nvidia.
For engineers designing AI-based robots or developers exploring visual intelligence, the Jetson Orin Nano Super offers incredible flexibility with support for up to four high-resolution cameras and compatibility with NVIDIA’s vast ecosystem of AI tools like Isaac, Metropolis, and Omniverse Replicator. With its affordable pricing and open-source support, this kit is perfect for turning ambitious AI ideas into reality.
