The Jetson AGX Thor Developer Kit sets new performance standards for edge AI and robotics. Equipped with the new Blackwell GPU architecture, a 14-core Neoverse V3AE CPU and 128 GB of LPDDR5X memory, the platform offers massive computing power for demanding AI applications, including generative models, multimodal sensor processing and humanoid robotics.
With an AI performance of up to 2070 FP4 TFLOPS, the Jetson Thor is currently NVIDIA’s most powerful embedded AI platform. Compared to its predecessor, the Jetson Orin platform, the Thor platform delivers 7.5 times the AI performance while doubling the available memory capacity, making it ideal for real-time applications with high data rates.
Performance that creates new possibilities
The developer kit is based on a 2560-core GPU with 96 Tensor Cores and Multi-Instance GPU (MIG) support for parallel AI workloads. The new FP4 support, combined with the integrated Transformer Engine, greatly speeds up generative inference. At the same time, memory requirements are significantly reduced. This is a decisive advantage when it comes to using modern LLMs, VLMs or VLA models directly at the edge.The powerful 14-core, 2.6 GHz CPU provides reliable control, planning, and decision-making in complex robotic systems.
