NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX 8GB

The Jetson Orin NX 8GB is the smaller of NVIDIA's two Orin NX system-on-modules, on the same 69.6 by 45 mm, 260-pin SO-DIMM board as the 16GB version. It keeps the full 1024-core Ampere GPU with 32 third-generation tensor cores but halves the memory to 8 GB of 128-bit LPDDR5 at 102 GB/s, carries one NVDLA v2.0 engine instead of two, and a 6-core rather than 8-core Arm Cortex-A78AE CPU. NVIDIA launched it in 2022 at 70 sparse INT8 TOPS for the module in a 10 to 20 W envelope; the 40 W MAXN_SUPER mode added by JetPack 6.2 in December 2024 lifts the GPU clock from 765 to 1,173 MHz and the module to 117 sparse TOPS. At that clock the GPU itself matches the 16GB module exactly, 77 sparse or 38.5 dense INT8 TOPS and 2.40 TFLOPS of FP32, because the two modules differ only in memory, CPU cores and NVDLA count.
