The NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano 8GB board, priced at $249, is criticized for its cost and limited resources. The shared 8GB RAM between the CPU and GPU, coupled with the Ubuntu Linux distribution consuming a significant portion, leaves insufficient memory for applications and the GPU. Performance issues were noted with the Chromium browser and Wi-Fi connectivity, suggesting the board is best suited for running smaller LLMs, achieving approximately 19 tokens/s on a 3B Q4 model. AI
IMPACT Limited performance for running smaller LLMs suggests this hardware may not be suitable for demanding AI applications.
