Hello,

Which jetson module has similar performance to intel i7 core for weather stations and wind farms?

Thanks, Steven

I don’t know if any benchmark tool can be used to do the CPU performance comparison between Jetson AGX Orin with Intel i7, I only have below inference results as your reference, you also need to consider the balance between power comsumption and perforamce.

Hi Kayccc,

the customer’s Floating-point requirement: more than 60 GFLOPS is ok. I can see the jetson performance in TOPS instead of GFLOPS on the nvidia website.

Which jetson model is fit for the application?

Thanks, Steven

Hi Steven:
The spec you saw is GPU performance. To use GPU , you’ll need to re-write the code in CUDA form. So, if just the number of OPs, 1TOPS = 1 Tera Operations = 1000 Giga Operations, 60 GFLOPS is not a big deal if using GPU. however, the computations suits for CPU or GPU are very different. CPU is like one master can do anything, while GPU is like lots of basic core can do only simple stuff. I think that YouTube contains lots of videos to describe the difference between CPU or GPU.

CPU used on Jetson is Arm® Cortex®-A78AE. I think it more used for house keeping stuff, such as Linux Kernel. So I think it can’t beat Intel I7 on running programs.
