NVIDIA doesn’t make desktop PCs yet, but this product might be the closest you can get. The Jetson series of small-form-factor computers are often found in non-commercial systems developed by students.
Today, NVIDIA is introducing its new Jetson Orin Nano Kit, which the company calls the “Jetson Orin Nano Server.” It’s a single-board computer priced at $249, much less than its predecessor ($499)—while offering higher performance of 67 TOPS compared to 40 TOPS.
NVIDIA is also announcing a performance boost of up to 70% for existing boards, enabled through a software update. For instance, the Orin NX 16GB system will increase from 100 TOPS to 157 TOPS, while the Orin NX 8GB will rise from 70 TOPS to 117 TOPS.
According to NVIDIA, the Nano Server features a six-core processor based on the ARM Cortex A78E CPU with a 1.7 GHz boost clock. The Nano Server also includes an NVIDIA GPU with 1024 CUDA cores and 32 Tensor cores.
The Jetson Orin Nano (single-board computer) ships with a reference carrier board, meaning the system comprises two boards. The carrier board hs 2x MiPi connector for cameras, three M.2 slots, and 1Gbe Ethernet. Together, they can be easily used for prototyping and real-world projects.
