@bradlinder Might be interested in this one. Double the ram (or more), same price, double the CPU perf, 10x the ethernet, and the same price:

@spikebike @bradlinder - Spike, ever seen one of these before?

They're pretty cool if you wanted to mount 67 TOPS worth of AI compute on say - a little quad rotor, or a security camera post, or an RC car (people did this with the OG Jetson nano by the way), or wearable tech. The dev kit is a little bit misleading in that the $250 dollar end of it is the SOM itself (the part I'm pointing at in the pic), and the carrier shipped with it is more of a basic sample. Second pic is what the card looks like since my Orin nano is covered by the heatsink.

Just wanted to mention this since you were just comparing benchmarks. I don't think it's apples to apples that way.

A603 Carrier Board for Jetson Orin™ NX/Orin™ Nano

Powerful extension board supporting Jetson Orin™ NX/Orin™ Nano modules. It features 1x GbE port, M.2 Key M for SSD, M.2 Key E for WiFi/BlueTooth, MIPI CSI and HDMI for high-quality video capture and display. It also contains 4x USB ports, fan, RTC, with flexible 9-20V power supply. By the compact design, it can be flexible and easily integrated into a variety of edge computing applications, saving space.

Not sure I'd consider a 103mm x 90.5mm x 34.77mm board on top of the normal flight control board for a "little quad rotor", not to mention the power use of 15-25 watts. Seems more practical for either a large quad rotor or a decent sized ground vehicle. Interesting option. I'm considering that or the Radxa Orion O6 which has about half the GPU, but twice the CPU, 10x the ethernet, and 2x or more the ram.
