- Jetson T5000 says 2070 TFOPS performance via the Blackwell GPU architecture
- The Jetson AGX Thor developer kit transforms a compact card into computer science at the workstation
- T4000 is positioned as a lighter and profitable alternative option
Nvidia has expanded its Jetson range with the Jetson AGX Thor developer kit, a compact platform that carries the new system system on Jetson T5000 module.
Marketed as a developer system, the dimensions and the form factor place it firmly in the field of a mini PC, although its design and its objective align more with the deployment of the EDGE than on IT.
Nvidia says that the Jetson T5000 offers “2070 TFOPS (FP4, sparse)”, made possible by its 2560-core GPU based on Blackwell architecture, with 96 fifth generation tensor carrots and multi-instance GPU characteristics.
Raw power behind the T5000 jetson
This system is associated with an arm processor Neoversse-V3AE with 14 cores and 128 GB of LPDDR5X memory.
Networking is managed by four 25GBE connections, with support for NVME storage via PCIe.
The Jetson AGX Thor Kit includes a video encod and a decoding support on several 4K and 8K flows.
There is also a lower range option, the Jetson T4000, which is still in development, but the first specifications list the performance “1200 TFOPS (FP4, sparse)”, a GPU 1536 and 64 GB of memory.
The two modules operate on a wide range of power, the T5000 evaluated between 40 and 130 watts and the T4000 between 40 and 75 watts.
This device is designed to provide researchers and engineers with a complete platform to test robotics and on-board workloads.
For connectivity, it is shipped with a reference card equipped with a 6th WiFi module, a NVME 1TB SSD and a standard debugging interfaces.
Networking includes an QSFP28 interface with four 25GBE channels and an RJ45 5GBE connector, highlighting its focus on sensor applications.
The kit also supports expansion via M.2 locations and offers HDMI 2.0B and DisplayPort 1.4A outings, as well as several USB ports.
Its physical dimensions are 243.19 x 112.4 x 56.88 mm, which makes it larger than a professional but always compact PC compared to most conceptions of workstation PC.
NVIDIA positions this version alongside previous initiatives such as the DGX Spark, which was presented as an office AI development platform.
The AGX Thor Jetson differs by targeting humanoid robotics, visual AI systems and the integration of sensors, supported by Isaac, Metropolis and Holoscan software frames.
The Jetson AGX Thor developer kit is listed at $ 3,499 and is available in pre-order from selected distributors, shipments that should start on November 20, 2025.
