This month, Shuttle Computers launched the SPCNV03, an ultra-compact edge computer based on the NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano. It delivers up to 40 TOPS of AI performance in a fanless aluminum chassis and carries EMC, Safety, and RoHS certifications for use in robotics, automation, video analytics, and smart city applications.

The SPCNV03 is built on the NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano module, available in two configurations. The 8GB version provides 40 TOPS of AI performance with 1024 CUDA cores and 32 Tensor cores at 7 to 15 watts, while the 4GB version offers 20 TOPS with 512 CUDA cores and 16 Tensor cores at 7 to 10 watts. Both versions integrate a six-core Arm Cortex-A78AE CPU running at 1.5GHz and a GPU frequency of 625 MHz.
