Aug 25 – After NVIDIA’s Aug 22 teaser of a humanoid robot "new brain" (spurred by CEO Jensen Huang’s signed card), the Jetson AGX Thor officially launched. Its $3,499-start developer kit and mass-production modules hit global markets simultaneously, with Chinese customers able to order right away.
Vs. the prior Jetson Orin, Thor delivers big performance jumps: 7.5x faster AI compute, 3.5x better energy efficiency, 3.1x stronger CPU, 10x higher I/O throughput. Key specs: NVIDIA Blackwell GPU (2,560 cores + 96 5th-gen Tensor Cores), 14-core Arm CPU, 2,070 TFLOPS FP4 AI peak performance, 128GB memory (273GB/s bandwidth), 40W-130W adjustable power, and 4x 25GbE support—easily handling complex robot tasks.
Over 2 million developers use NVIDIA’s robotics tech stack; leaders like United Imaging, UBtech, and Unitree have adopted Thor first. Unitree says it boosts robot agility/decision-making; Galaxy General notes optimized motion for its G1 Premium.
Jensen Huang highlighted Thor runs multiple generative AI models on edge devices, supports mainstream frameworks, and accelerates robot adoption in industrial, logistics, and healthcare sectors.
