FLOPS by Precision

What actually differs

The Jetson Orin Nano Super is the newer part: Ampere, launched in 2024, against the GeForce RTX 3090'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.

Memory is 8 GB against 24 GB, fed at 102 GB/s versus 936 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.

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.
