Jetson Orin Nano 8GB Module Overview
The Jetson Orin Nano 8GB Module is the part many entry-level Orin designs move into production with, so buyers come back to it for new batches, replacements and stock planning once a carrier board is settled. It is the 8GB member of the NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano series, on the 260-pin SO-DIMM connector shared with the Orin Nano 4GB and the Orin NX modules.
A 1024-core Ampere GPU with 32 Tensor Cores gives up to 40 sparse INT8 TOPS, with a 6-core Arm Cortex-A78AE CPU at up to 1.5 GHz and 8 GB of 128-bit LPDDR5. Standard power modes are 7 W and 15 W. JetPack 6.2 brings NVIDIA’s Super Mode, which raises the module to 67 TOPS and the CPU to 1.7 GHz and adds a 25 W mode and MAXN SUPER; NVIDIA asks that the thermal design be checked against these figures. The Jetson Orin Nano 4GB Module halves the GPU and memory for 20 TOPS at 5 to 10 W.
The Jetson Orin Nano 8GB Module brings eight MIPI CSI-2 lanes (D-PHY 2.1), PCIe Gen3 as one x4 and three x1 links, 3x USB 3.2, 3x USB 2.0 and GbE to the carrier, with UART, SPI, I2C, I2S and one CAN interface. Display output is DisplayPort 1.2, HDMI 1.4 or eDP 1.4 at up to 4K30, the video engine decodes 1x 4K60 H.265, and NVIDIA lists encode at 1080p30 in software. Storage is external NVMe.
NVIDIA lists the Jetson Orin Nano 8GB as available through January 2032. Designs on the original Jetson Nano, which NVIDIA lists through January 2027, usually move to the Orin Nano; NVIDIA quotes the Orin Nano series at up to 140x the performance of Jetson Nano, although the carrier must support the 260-pin Orin module. Within Orin, the next step up on the same connector is the Orin NX 8GB with PCIe Gen4 and an NVDLA accelerator.
