Achieve a 70% Generative AI Performance Boost with Jetson Orin™ Nano & NX Super Mode
NVIDIA has announced the groundbreaking Super Mode for Jetson Orin™ Nano and Orin™ NX modules.
What is Super Mode?
Super Mode is enabled through a software update that increases the GPU, memory, and CPU clocks, resulting in up to a 1.7x improvement in generative AI performance. This enhancement allows the Jetson Orin™ Nano and Orin™ NX modules to run a wide range of large language models (LLMs), vision language models (VLMs), and vision transformers (ViTs) more efficiently.
Why Upgrade to Super Mode?
- Up to 70% Increase in AI Compute: Transform your AI capabilities with increased performance from 40 TOPS to 67 TOPS for Nano modules and 100 TOPS to 157 TOPS for NX modules.
- Up to 50% Increase in Memory Bandwidth: Enjoy smoother processing with bandwidth enhancements from 68GB/s to 102GB/s.
- Up to 88% Gain in Generative AI Model Performance: Achieve unparalleled throughput, reduce costs by 50%, and maximize your ROI.
Key Benefits
- Extended Product Lifecycle: Unlock better performance without hardware changes.
- Cost-Effective: Boost performance and cut costs by up to 50%.
- Energy-Efficient: Operates at just 25W, ensuring high performance with minimal energy usage.

Availability
For existing Jetson Orin™ Nano Developer Kit users, upgrading to the latest version of the JetPack SDK will unlock the benefits of Super Mode. Similarly, Jetson Orin™ NX modules will receive support for Super Mode with the release of JetPack 6.1.1 in January 2025.
Forecr’s Compatibility with the Super Mode
Super Mode is fully compatible with Forecr’s Jetson Orin™ Nano based carrier boards and box PCs. In early 2025, we are extending Super Mode support to our Jetson Orin™ NX based products, pushing performance to 157 TOPS.
