FLOPS by Precision

What actually differs

The Jetson Orin Nano Super is the newer part: Ampere (2024) against the A100's Ampere (2021).

The A100 carries 72 GB more memory (80 GB against 8 GB), so larger models fit on one GPU before you shard. Bandwidth is 1.9 TB/s against 102 GB/s, which sets the ceiling on decode speed.

Power is 300 W against 25 W, and at FP32 the A100 does more work per watt. Weight the FP8 and FP16 rows for LLM work and the FP64 row for HPC.
