| Module | CPU cores | Power envelope | GPU architecture | Memory | Form factor |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jetson Xavier NX 8GB | 6 (Carmel) | 10–20 W | Volta | 8 GB LPDDR4x | 260-pin SO-DIMM (69.6x45mm) |
| Jetson Orin NX 8GB | 6 (Cortex-A78AE) | 10–20 W (default); 10–40 W (Super mode) | Ampere | 8 GB LPDDR5 | 260-pin SO-DIMM (69.6x45mm) |

Things to check before choosing:
- Jetson Xavier NX 8GB: The power envelope field says 10–20 W, but the module's own description says 10–15 W. I'd confirm against the datasheet before relying on the 20 W upper limit. developer...developer.nvidia.com ↗“8GB LPDDR4x, 10-15W.”
- Jetson Orin NX 8GB: It only matches in default mode. In Super mode its power envelope goes up to 40 W. nvidia.comnvidia.com ↗“power.power_envelope_super=10-40 W”
- Jetson TX2i: It's an industrial/rugged module and uses a different connector (400-pin B2B) from the Xavier NX's SO-DIMM. It wouldn't fit the same carrier board. developer...developer.nvidia.com ↗“Industrial/rugged Pascal SoM”
