Jetson Orin vs AGX Xavier
Nvidia Jetson AGX Orin is the latest addition to the popular line of Nvidia Jetson modules and brings superb enhancements in performance for Edge AI applications. 

The newly-released 32GB AGX Orin is available now in both developer kit and SOC module format and is described by Nvidia as an "energy-efficient AI supercomputer", which they say is six times more powerful than its predecessor and is intended to support large, complex AI models for natural language understanding, 3D perception, and multi-sensor fusion. A more powerful 64GB version is due for release in November ahead of the planned Orin NX modules in the new year. 

Bringing a remarkable 200 TOPS to the table, the 32GB Jetson AGX Orin is capable of 200 trillion operations per second, thanks to a 3-fold increase in CUDA cores over the AGX Xavier, topping out at 1792 across 14 streaming multiprocessors (SM). Combining this increase in performance with next-gen deep learning and vision accelerators provided by the Ampere architecture (and the new Arm Cortex-A78AE CPU), high-speed interfaces, faster memory bandwidth, and multimodal sensor support, the Orin even has the ability to run multiple AI application pipelines concurrently.
