NVIDIA Jetson gets fanless solid-state cooling module

YPlasma has showcased its ultrathin solid-state cooling module based on dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma actuators on NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano at Computex 2026. Ultrathin solid-state cooling solutions replacing thicker and noisier mechanical fans have been demonstrated on consumer hardware in the past, with solutions such as xMEMS µCooling fan-on-a-chip for SSDs and Frore Systems Airjet Mini and Airjet Pro used in laptops and mini PCs. Both solutions generate tiny vibrations to create an airflow, but YPlasma's DBD plasma cooling module generates ionic wind to cool the device. This forces convection without moving parts, audible noise, vibration, or dust ingestion paths. We'll explain more about the technology below. The company validated the following on the NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano: Thermal range - 7 W to 25 W, the full operating range of the Jetson Orin Nano family, including Super Mode (25W), with a steady state reached in 10 minutes.

$4,290+ Unitree R1-A5 and R2-A7 humanoid robots features grippers or dexterous hands, fixed or wheeled base

Unitree has extended its R1 dual‑arm humanoid robot family with new R1-A5 and R1-A7 models, which can be fitted with 2-finger grippers or 3 or 5-finger dexterous hands, and attached to a fixed base or a wheeled base for indoor mobility. The new robots appear based on the low-cost Unitree R1 platform launched last year, which can dance, walk, run, perform kung-fu moves, and chat with users, but is otherwise not overly useful since it lacks dexterous hands. The R1-A5 and R1-A7 won't be able to dance, since they don't come with legs, but the upper body comes with a head and two arms equipped with grippers or dexterous hands, which could perform useful tasks in combination with binocular vision. Four new models are available with the following specifications: They mostly share the same specifications, but the R1-A7 has longer arms and adds 4 degrees of freedom (2 extra per

NVIDIA phases out several Jetson modules due to high LPDDR4 RAM prices and tight supplies

Following the well-advertised Raspberry Pi 4/5 price hikes, we've just written an article about some SBCs quadrupling in price since 2024 due to RAM price increases, and another victim appears to be NVIDIA Jetson modules relying on LPDDR4 memory. That's according to a lifecycle update by Connect Tech that claims that "due to changes in global DRAM market dynamics, NVIDIA has indicated that supply and pricing for LPDDR4-based modules have become increasingly constrained. As a result, NVIDIA is accelerating End-of-Life (EOL) timelines for" specific modules. Four families are impacted: NVIDIA Jetson TX2 NX (4GB and 8GB) NVIDIA Jetson TX2i (all SKUs) NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier (32GB and Industrial) NVIDIA Jetson Xavier NX All these modules were released in 2021 or before. The end-of-life timeline is as follows: Now - All new purchase orders for products integrating TX2 NX, TX2i, AGX Xavier, and Xavier NX modules are Non-Cancelable, Non-Returnable (NCNR) July

Select the right hardware for your local LLM deployment with this online guide

When it comes to deploying local LLMs, many people may think that spending more money will deliver more performance, but it's far from reality.  That's why Sipeed created the "AI Agent Local LLM Inference Device Deployment Guide" hosted on the llmdev.guide website. The website lists common hardware with price, performance (tokens/s), power consumption, and more for various LLMs. If we take Qwen3.5 9B as an example, we can see that $4K+ hardware like NVIDIA DGX Spark or Apple Mac Studio  M3 delivers about the same TPS as a machine equipped with a $260 Intel Arc B580 12GB GPU. If money is no object and you'd like the best performance, the NVIDIA GTX 5090 32GB makes the most sense. I reckon the price comparison is imperfect because some data points reflect the price of a complete system, while others only list the price of a graphics card. However, for Qwen 122B-A10B,
