Jetson production modules with a max power envelope under 10 W

Asked as: “Is there a Jetson production module whose max power envelope is under 10 W?”

Answered by the Rapidflare agent

Short answer: not strictly — no production module has a maximum power envelope below 10 W. The lowest maximum across the production Jetson modules is exactly 10 W, shared by two modules. If your requirement is "10 W or less", these two fit:

ModulePower envelopeNotes
Jetson Orin Nano 4GB7–10 WAmpere, 512 CUDA cores, 20 INT8 TOPS (34 TOPS in Super mode), 4 GB LPDDR5 nvidia.comnvidia.com ↗“power.power_envelope=7-10 W”
Jetson Nano5–10 WMaxwell, 128 CUDA cores, 0.236 TFLOPS FP32, 4 GB LPDDR4 developer...developer.nvidia.com ↗“power.power_envelope=5-10 W”

A few points worth noting:

  • The Jetson Orin Nano 4GB is the newer of the two and the only current-generation module at this power level; its default-mode envelope is 7–10 W (the Super-mode envelope is higher, 7–25 W, so keep it in default mode if you need to stay at the 10 W ceiling). nvidia.comnvidia.com ↗“power.power_envelope=7-10 W, power.power_envelope_super=7-25 W”
  • The Jetson Nano sits at the same 5–10 W range but is an older Maxwell-based module. developer...developer.nvidia.com ↗“power.power_envelope=5-10 W”
  • The next tier up are the 7.5–15 W modules (Jetson TX2 family), which exceed 10 W at their top configuration. developer...developer.nvidia.com ↗“power_envelope=7.5-15 W”

If you can share your target use case or other constraints (memory, AI performance, form factor), I can help you decide whether the Orin Nano 4GB is the right fit or whether a slightly higher-power module makes sense.
