Nvidia, the Santa-Clara-based American tech company, debuts a new compact generative AI supercomputer that fulfills performance needs at a lower price with a software upgrade. It has recently unveiled the NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano Super Developer Kit. It gives a performance boost to PCs that suits people from enthusiasts to AI developers, students to hobbyists. It suits them all with unparalleled performance and efficiency. 

The tool can support tasks ranging from creating LLM chatbots based on retrieval-augmented generation to building a visual AI agent or deploying AI-based robots, it has got it all! 

Its performance ‘

It can deliver 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. The tool gives the best performance with all popular generative AI models and transformer-based computer vision. Supporting up to four cameras, it provides enhanced resolution and higher frame rates as compared to its previous versions.
