FLOPS by Precision

What actually differs

The Jetson AGX Orin is the newer part: Ampere, launched in 2021, against the RTX A6000's Ampere from 2020. Newer architectures typically add lower-precision formats and better throughput per watt, so check the precision rows your workload actually uses.

Dense throughput for the Jetson AGX Orin against the RTX A6000: FP32 5.3 vs 39 TFLOPS, FP16 43 vs 155 TFLOPS. Sparse figures, where the vendor publishes them, appear under each dense number in the performance table.

Memory is 64 GB against 48 GB, fed at 205 GB/s versus 768 GB/s. More memory per GPU means larger models fit before you have to shard across cards, which often matters more than raw TFLOPS for inference.

Power budgets are 60 W for the Jetson AGX Orin and 300 W for the RTX A6000. At FP32 that works out to 0.09 against 0.13 TFLOPS per watt.

For LLM training and inference, weight the FP8 and FP16 rows and memory capacity most heavily. For scientific and HPC workloads, the FP64 row is the one to read.
