Introduction to Jetson Orin Nano

Jetson Orin Nano is a new member of the Jetson series, with the core board shown in the following figure

overview

The Jetson Orin Nano development kit is equipped with an Orin Nano module with 8GB/4GB version of memory.

• Orin SoC's CPU is based on the Cortex-A78AE architecture.
• Orin Nano is equipped with 6 cores in 8GB/4GB, with a maximum frequency of 1.5 GHz
• In terms of GPU, the Ampere architecture GA10B is equipped with 1024 CUDA cores and 32 Tensor Cores, with a maximum frequency of 625MHz.
• Orin Nano only has a hardware decoder and no hardware encoder, with a coding capacity of only 1080p30, supported by 1-2 CPU cores. From the perspective of computing resources, the Orin Nano 8GB specification is basically the same as the Orin nano 8GB version, which is half of the AGX Orin 64GB version, but with lower frequency and therefore lower power. The power of the Nano module is only 15W. At extremely low power, Orin Nano still provides extremely strong performance, with a single precision floating-point performance of 1.28 TFLOPs.The Orin Nano 8GB and Orin nano 8GB specifications are very similar, but there are also the following differences in addition to frequency and power.

Performance comparison between orin nano and nano

From the graph, it can be observed that the performance of Orin Nano is an order of magnitude improvement. According to official data, Orin Nano has achieved AI performance of 40 trillion operations per second (TOPS), which is 80 times higher than the previous nano.
