NVIDIA’s ultra-high-performance Jetson Thor edge synthetic intelligence (edge AI) machine, within the type of the Jetson AGX Thor Developer Package, is simply across the nook — and a reseller has revealed precisely how a lot it should set you again: $3,499.
“NVIDIA Jetson Thor collection modules provide the final platform for bodily AI and robotics, delivering as much as 2,070 FP4 TFLOPS [Tera-Floating Point Operations Per Second] of AI compute and 128GB of reminiscence with energy configurable between 40W and 130W,” NVIDIA says of the most recent entries in its Jetson household of embedded AI techniques. “They ship over 7.5x increased AI compute than NVIDIA AGX Orin, with 3.5x higher power effectivity.”

NVIDIA revealed the Jetson Thor vary again in March final 12 months, alongside a basis mannequin for humanoid robotics dubbed Challenge GR00T. Constructed across the firm’s newest Blackwell graphics structure and a {custom} transformer engine, the Jetson Thor was mentioned to ship as much as 800 TFLOPS of compute — a determine that, for the variant being offered to builders, has now been boosted to 2,070 TFLOPS offering you are joyful to drop from FP8 to FP4 sparse precision.
On the time, nevertheless, there was one factor NVIDIA wasn’t sharing: the value. With the launch now imminent, the cat is lastly out of the bag with reseller DFRobot sending an inventory stay with a $3,499 asking value. For this, purchaser will get a top-end Jetson T5000-based machine with a 2,560 CUDA-core 96 Tensor-core Blackwell GPU operating at as much as 1.57GHz, a 14-core Arm Neoverse-V3AE processor operating at as much as 2.6GHz, a PVA v3 imaginative and prescient accelerator, and 128GB of LPDDR5X reminiscence on a 256-bit bus delivering a claimed 273GB/s of bandwidth. Storage is dealt with by a bundled 1TB NVMe solid-state drive pre-installed within the custom-built housing.

Connectivity features a five-gigabit-Ethernet port plus a QSFP28 connector supporting as much as 4 25-gigabit connections, two USB 3.2 Gen. 2 Sort-A and two USB 3.1 Sort-C ports, HDMI 2.0b and DisplayPort 1.4a video outputs, M.2 M-key and E-key slots carrying 4 and one PCI Specific Gen. 5 lanes respectively with the previous taken up by the bundled SSD, CAN bus, a six-pin “automation header,” JTAG debug connector, an audio panel header, and a 12V pulse-width modulated (PWM) connector for an energetic cooling fan. Cameras, in the meantime, are to be related by way of the QSFP slot — although USB cameras are additionally supported.
Extra data is obtainable on the NVIDIA product web page, the place the Jetson Thor household continues to be listed as coming quickly; DFRobot’s product itemizing says inventory is anticipated earlier than the top of August this 12 months.
