Jetson Xavier NX vs Orin Nano Super Developer Kit: AI performance, memory and lifecycle

Asked as: “Our lab still has a Jetson Xavier NX Developer Kit. How does it compare with the Jetson Orin Nano Super Developer Kit on AI performance, memory type and lifecycle status?”

Answered by the Rapidflare agent

The Orin Nano Super Developer Kit is listed at 67 TOPS in Super mode and 40 TOPS in default mode, compared with 21 TOPS for your Xavier NX Developer Kit. It uses LPDDR5 memory where the Xavier NX uses LPDDR4x. The Xavier NX Developer Kit is listed as end-of-life (EOL), but the catalog gives no lifecycle status for the Orin Nano Super Developer Kit.

Notes

  • The TOPS figures aren't measured the same way. Both are INT8, but the Xavier figure is dense and the Orin figure is sparse. So the gap between 21 and 40/67 TOPS isn't an exact like-for-like comparison.
  • Super mode applies only to the Orin Nano Super Developer Kit. The Xavier NX has a single figure.
  • Lifecycle: The catalog describes the Xavier NX kit as a "Legacy dev kit." I couldn't find a lifecycle status for the Orin Nano Super Developer Kit. A Physical AI representative can confirm it. developer...developer.nvidia.com ↗“Legacy dev kit on Xavier NX”
