Nvidia ends older Jetson AI processors early amid memory shortages

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Nvidia is accelerating the end-of-life for some of its older Jetson AI processors, including the TX2 and Xavier families, due to global memory shortages. This decision, reportedly communicated through suppliers like Connect Tech, is driven by the difficulty in sourcing LPDDR4 RAM as manufacturers prioritize newer, higher-margin memory types like HBM and DDR5 for AI accelerators. Developers using these older modules are advised to migrate to newer platforms like the Orin series to ensure long-term viability. AI

IMPACT Developers using older Nvidia Jetson modules may need to migrate to newer hardware due to supply chain issues affecting legacy memory components.
