Provides more than double the power efficiency with double the improved performance

NVIDIA has unveiled the Jetson TX2, which enables artificial intelligence computing in embedded systems. The credit card-sized Jetson TX2 platform is used in factory robots, commercial drones, and smart cameras for AI cities. It offers twice the performance compared to the previous generation and more than double the power efficiency with power consumption of less than 7.5W. More extensive and deep neural networks have improved the accuracy of smart devices and reduced response times.

“The Jetson TX2 delivers smarter AI. It makes cities safer, optimizes production with robots, and enables highly efficient remote work,” said the head of NVIDIA’s Tegra business unit.

The Jetson TX2 is the successor to the embedded computing product family, the Jetson TX1 and TK1. Jetson is an open platform that can be used by anyone looking to develop cutting-edge AI solutions, ranging from large corporations to startups, researchers, and high school students.
