This site explores the use of small single board computers such as the Pi and Orin to examine some of the major areas of AI development

Raspberry PI

Jetson Orin Nano

The NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano is a compact, energy-efficient AI computer designed for edge computing applications like robotics, drones, intelligent video analytics, and IoT. It belongs to NVIDIA’s Jetson family of embedded systems and provides a significant leap in performance over its predecessor, the Jetson Nano.

Originally costing in excess of £400 the Orin has recently had both a significant power boost and a very welcome price cut. Assuming you can find a supplier with stock available this module should now cost you no more than £250. The fly in th ointment is that these boards are currently in very short supply!

I bought one of the original Orins, and can vouch that yes the improvement on the original Nano is significant.
