To put the Jetson TX1 to the test, Nvidia compared its deep learning performance to the latest generation Intel i7 processor. This deep learning task uses a neural net trained to differentiate between objects; pedestrians, cars, motorcycles and cyclists if the TX1 will be controlling an autonomous car, or packages and driveways if the TX1 will be used in the first generation of delivery drones. In this image classification task, the TX1 outperformed the i7, while drawing far less power.

The Jetson TX1 Developer Kit will be available from Newegg, Amazon, Microcenter, and the Nvidia store on November 12th for $599 retail, or

$299 with an educational discount. The TX1 module itself – with a 400 pin board-to-board connector I can’t source at the moment – will be available for $299 in 1000 unit quantities through worldwide distributors. There is no pricing yet for single modules, although I would expect a group buy to pop up somewhere on the Internet shortly.
