C'mon Nintendo just give us a chip with half of this power!
"NVIDIA has just announced their latest DRIVE AGX Orin platform which is powered by the Orin SOC, a chip featuring NVIDIA's next-generation GPU architecture, ARM Hercules CPU cores and lots of AI performance. The platform is aimed at autonomous vehicles and robots."
"The singular Orin SOC aims to deliver 200 TOPs of performance on a single chip, featuring a massive 17 billion transistors and delivering roughly 7 times the performance of NVIDIA's Xavier SOCs. For comparison, the biggest consumer-grade GPUs that are currently in production, the Volta GV100, and the Turing TU102 have transistor counts of 21.1 Billion & 18.6 Billion, respectively. "
"Xavier featured a total of 7 billion transistors on a 16nm die along with 8 custom ARM64 cores. The Orin SOC is a much denser chip than Xavier which confirms that it isn't just a 12nm shrink but a 7nm (EUV) part which allows for such a drastic uplift in its transistor density. ARM has also shown in their roadmap that Hercules CPUs can be made on either 7nm or 5nm process, giving NVIDIA the flexibility needed to build the Orin SOC. The Hercules cores are also stated to be 10% faster than the Deimos 7nm cores."
"Just like Xavier before it, the Orin SOC is scheduled to be featured in vehicles going in production in 2022 which is one year after its announcement. This means that the production of Orin should commence earlier than that and more possibly in late 2021.
Xavier was also announced back in 2016 but featured in products available by end of 2017 and the beginning of 2018. With that said, the GPUs powered by Volta was also available a year later (Titan V) so that might give us a hint at the launch of GPUs powered by NVIDIA's next-generation GPU architecture which is Ampere.
