How to read the figures:
- All TOPS figures are INT8. They're sparse for the Thor and Orin modules and dense for the Xavier modules, so you can't compare Xavier numbers directly with the others.
- FP4 TFLOPS is a separate measure and shouldn't be compared with INT8 TOPS.
- The T5000 still comes out on top even when you compare the Super-mode figures.
- Power matters on a battery-powered warehouse robot. If 40–130 W is too much for your power budget, look at the Jetson T4000 (600 TOPS, 40–70 W) or the Jetson AGX Orin 64GB (275 TOPS, 15–60 W).
Not included: the IGX T5000 module is also rated at 2070 FP4 TFLOPS with 128 GB of memory. I left it out of the ranking because it's an IGX Thor module, not a Jetson module, and no INT8 TOPS figure is listed for it. nvidia.comnvidia.com ↗“IGX Thor system-on-module (P/N 900-23834-0080-000)”
