NVIDIA Jetson Ampere GPU

The major development has come in the form of the NVIDIA Jetson Ampere GPU. This represents a significant advancement of edge AI when compared to the AGX Xavier GPU. The Ampere GPU found in the AGX Orin provides up to 2048 CUDA Cores, 64 Tensor cores, and up to 131 TOPS of INT8 Tensor computing. AI and data science model training are also much more efficient by introducing the Tensor Float 32 precision, allowing for up to 5 times more training power.

The World’s Most Advanced AI Computer

With significant AI processing power, the AGX Origin is being called the world’s most advanced AI computer allowing tasks such as computer vision, deep learning, and natural language processing to run at the edge. It is also highly energy efficient despite its power, which means that it can be used in power-constrained environments. It is also possible to use Jetson AGX Orin custom hardware design services so that you can have a solution designed for your specific requirements and build to withstand any factors that you have in your work environment. This allows you to reap the benefits of the latest AGX Orin module while having a system built to your exact requirements.

Arm Cortex- A78AE CPU

The newest AGX Orin also incorporates the Arm Cortex- A78AE CPU consisting of 12 cores. This provides a 1.7x improvement in performance with a maximum speed of 2GHz. Each core has a 64KB Instruction L1 Cache and 64KB Data Cache, and an extra 256KB of L2 cache. 

Memory Bandwidth

There is also greater storage and memory with the new AGX Orin with either a 32Gb or 64Gb of 256-bit of integrated LPDDR5 main memory. Both the 32 and 64 modules provide twice the storage of the AGX Xavier modules.

As you can see, the latest Jetson AGX Orin module has brought about significant advancements in both efficiency and performance in the world of edge AI.
