NVIDIA officially unveiled Jetson AGX Thor, the company’s latest development kit (Dev Kit) designed for use in AI and general robotics applications. The new dev kit is the successor of the Jetson Orin which launched back in 2022.
“We’ve built Jetson Thor for the millions of developers working on robotic systems that interact with and increasingly shape the physical world,” Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA said. “With unmatched performance and energy efficiency, and the ability to run multiple generative AI models at the edge, Jetson Thor is the ultimate supercomputer to drive the age of physical AI and general robotics.”
Specs-wise, The Jetson AGX Thor features 128GB of LPDDR5x memory, running at 3273GB/s, has a maximum GPU frequency of 1.57GHz, and a 14-core ARM Neoverse-V3AE 64-bit CPU with a 16MB L3 Cache. Performance-wise, the module is capable of delibering up to 2,070 FP4 teraflops of AI compute power.
By NVIDIA’s count, Thor is about 7.5x more powerful than Orin in AI computing and 3.5x more energy efficient, at that. “The new system-on-module solves one of the most significant challenges in robotics: running multi-AI workflows to enable robots to have real-time, intelligent interactions with people and the physical world. Jetson Thor unlocks real-time inference, critical for highly performant physical AI applications spanning humanoid robotics, agriculture and surgical assistance.”
The NVIDIA Jetson AGX Thor is already available to developers and starts from US$3,499 (~RM14,764) via the brand’s global distribution partners.
