Nvidia unveils Orin, its next-gen SOC for autonomous vehicles and robots ZDNet

Nvidia on Tuesday unveiled Orin, a new system-on-a-chip (SoC) designed for autonomous vehicles and robots, as well as a new software-defined platform powered by the SoC, called Nvidia Drive AGX Orin. Orin comes about two years after Nvidia debuted Xavier, its previous SoC for autonomous driving and robots. Consisting of 17 billion transistors, the new SoC offers nearly 7x the performance of Xavier, the company says. Anyone developing on Xavier today will be able to run their code on Orin, Nvidia said. Both are programmable through open CUDA and TensorRT APIs and libraries.
