NVIDIA Jetson TX1 is an embedded system-on-module (SoM) with quad-core ARM Cortex-A57, 4GB LPDDR4 and integrated 256-core Maxwell GPU.

Useful for deploying computer vision and deep learning, Jetson TX1 runs Linux and provides 1TFLOPS of FP16 compute performance in 10 watts of power.

Jetson TX1 is available as the module, developer kit, and in compatible ecosystem products. See the wiki of other Jetson's here, including the latest Jetson AGX Xavier.
