NVIDIA recently unveiled their new Jetson Orin Nano Super Developer Kit, a powerful computer designed for using AI on edge devices. Key features of the kit include a performance of up to 67 TOPS(Trillion Operations per Second), 102 GB/s of memory bandwidth, and a CPU frequency of up to 1.7 GHz. Other technical specifications found on the datasheet are a 6-core ARM Cortex-A78AE v8.2 64-bit CPU (arm-cortex-a78ae-product-brief), an NVIDIA Ampere GPU (NVIDIA Ampere Architecture) and 8GB of memory. The kit has a cost of $249 and sold out quickly. It is currently on backorder from retailers such as Sparkfun Electronics, and Seeed Studio.
This new Super Developer Kit is an upgraded version of the previous Jetson Orin Nano Developer Kit. NVIDIA has provided the JetPack 6.1 SDK which can be used on existing Jetson Orin Nano Developer Kits to access features from the Super developer Kit. To unlock the super performance, users can select the latest release of JetPack, Jetpack 6.1 (rev. 1), when installing the latest SD Card image for the Kit. Detailed installation instructions can be found on the following page: JetPack SDK.
