"In this video we take a look at the all new Nvidia Jetson Orin NANO! This Powerful AI Edge SBC Packs a 1024-Core Nvidia Ampere GPU with 32 Tensor Cores and a 6 Core Cortex A78 CPU backed by 8GB Of DDR5 Ram. We test out some ai demos 4K video Playback and we defiantly had to take look at emulation like Gamecube and Wii using the Dolphin Emulator and Even PS2 using AetherSX2!"

Baller only for very very specific use cases, and even then, it's weak for those with those sort of needs IMHO. I'm not sure of the target market for this. Can do basic video. Yes, but at a cost. Can do basic old school emulation. Yes, but again, at a cost. Can do basic AI. Yes, and certainly better than others in the form factor, but it's low end and... market? There just seems to be so many many better platforms out there.

Nvidia needs to figure out "the way" to show this off, otherwise, given the review and what has been shown, this is sort of a joke. Prove me wrong though.

Do you realize that the computer is slightly smaller than a Pi4, and fits a "standard" (SO-Dimm) slot that you can also program the IO on?
You use the developer kits to develop the program then you slot those cards into your intended machine, they are powerful bits of silicon developers can build to their exact specifications and slot in. Nvidia sells a shit load of them, to control all sorts of robotic equipment in Agriculture, Heavy Manufacturing, Mining, Precision Tooling, Monitoring and Control Systems, variations of these are all over the place in places you probably don't suspect them.
The actual device is this.

The rest of it is the developer board so you can test different inputs on it at a desk, but aren't there for deployment.
Nvidia doesn't need to show them off because it is a hugely successful product range.

Ah, makes more sense for that. Was struggling to think of any consumer use for this with such a big cooler on it. I mean you could maybe throttle it and use a smaller cooler, but you'd probably lose a lot of performance. Also, really neat formfactor. All you need to do is wire up the io, flash the board to match, and presto! :D

Yeah, they use a standard SO-DIMM socket, their ability to process and analyze live camera feeds is pretty dope, there are drones equipped with them that fly around farms and identify plants that are sick, need watering, check for signs of rodents or bugs, all sorts of stuff, as well as self-driving equipment.
With crackdowns on temporary workers, farms have been hit hard for a lot of that sort of work, so machines are being programmed up to do the menial stuff they used to hire kids for. Lots of stuff like that, as more factories are automated and more loaders, forklifts, burnishers, etc ... are made to be self-operating these sell faster and faster.
