NVIDIA announced Jetson Orin Nano 2 on August 25, a robotics computer aimed at entry-level edge AI¹. It carries 78 trillion operations per second of AI compute, 8GB of memory and an 8-core Arm CPU, and through improved Tensor Cores and higher memory bandwidth delivers 2x the inference performance of the previous Jetson Orin Nano Super in the same form factor¹. In 15-watt mode, it consumes 40% less power to deliver the same performance as its predecessor¹.

Deepu Talla, vice president of robotics and edge AI at NVIDIA, said today’s small and medium frontier models have reached the accuracy of last year’s largest frontier models, unlocking real-time intelligence for edge devices¹. Open models such as Gemma 4 and Qwen 3 are among those it can run¹.

The module and developer kit are expected to be available in the first half of 2027, and no pricing was announced¹. Cognex, Doosan Bobcat and Matic are named among the first to adopt and explore it¹.
