Nvidia, supplier of chips for Nintendo Switch announced a new line of artificial intelligence chips. Out of the new AI chips, one is called Jetson Xavier NX.
Japanese users have been intrigued by the Jetson Xavier NX, because it contains “NX”, which happens to be the codename for the Nintendo Switch before it was officially revealed.
NX
Some Japanese commentators are now speculating that a more powerful chip from Nvidia could be used in a hypothetical Nintendo Switch revision or dare we say pro.
But keep in mind here is nothing backing these speculation at this time.
Jetson Xavier NX specs
Jetson Xavier™ NX brings supercomputer performance to the edge in a small form factor system on module (SOM). With up to 21 TOPS of accelerated computing, it can run modern neural networks in parallel and process data from multiple high-resolution sensors—a requirement for full AI systems. Jetson Xavier NX is production-ready and supports all popular AI frameworks.
The Jetson Xavier NX costs USD399. Which would make it an expensive option for the Nintendo Switch Pro. But who knows.
That releasedate though
Jetson Xavier NX will be available worldwide in March 2020, but you can start developing today. Is it a coincidence that the releasedate is three years after the Nintendo Switch? Well we don’t know ..
