NVIDIA's Jetson TX1 is a development kit for embedded supercomputing, specifically intended for computationally intensive applications such as machine vision and deep learning.
-> Credit card-sized TX1 Module (50x87mm)can be deployed in medium-sized Copters, Fixed-wings, etc.
-> Low power consumption: <10W during complex tasks
Jetson TX1 - $599 available from NVIDIA and their distributors
TX1 Module - $299 (available in early 2016)
Carrier Board:
NVIDIA provides the large carrier board included in the Jetson TX1 kit, which includes a full set of I/O connections. The TX1 Module requires a miniaturized carrier board for practical deployment in UAVs. It is expected that smaller carrier board (i.e., credit-card-sized) will be developed by companies/individuals in the TX1 user community. A potential carrier board design has already been proposed by Auvidea (http://bit.ly/1MOBKWx).

Is Jetson TX1 already fly with Kespry ?

Yes, and it looks like ZED has also been flying.... Also, some have already flown with the large TK1 board (http://bit.ly/1lyAqkQ).
The discussion about creating a small carrier board for TX1 is over here: http://bit.ly/1MrwjQq
