    Values in the TDP row seem swapped.

    Yeah, that's a pretty cool upgrade for the Nano dev-board, even if it's still a little too pricey.
    I prefer the µSD storage over 8GB eMMC, too and you can never have enough RAM, but...

    It felt like they were selling the Nano almost at a loss, but with the Xaviers they seem to try making real money, when it's really about seeding the edge.

    Well, I think the original Nano is seeding the edge. The Xavier is priced to stay solvent, and is supposed to be used as a drop in replacement once you've done your initial work with the Nano

    Keep in mind, the listed price appears to be the cost for the SoM only as pictured.

    The more I think about it, the more I see your point. Not sure I like it, though ;-)

    I guess it just strikes me as odd to see Nvidia as a volume hardware manufacturer: I'd expect these modules to be made by various OEMs like in the GPU world and then plenty of competition and differentiation as well as prices that are much less "cosmetic" (and overdone).

    I guess it's time to check if the specs are open or even available for licensing and if OEM is intended or not.

    Of course, volume prices could be anywhere.

    Xavier is expensive because it's *huge*.

    The NX TDPs are mixed up in the table I think..

    How can Xavier AGX ever reach 11 TFLOPs FP16?
    512 madd ALUs at 1377MHz and 2x FP16 rate results in 2.8 TFLOPs FP16.

    Can the NVDLA be used for regular FP16 calculations?

    Lol, that graph shows just what a turd the original Nano really is. Not that I'm surprised, in the least.

    Yeah I bought 2 of them because I was excited at initial launch.

    I guess for the price they are OK, but they are just sitting collecting dust because they are just too underpowered to do anything serious with, and a pain in the butt with power issues, etc.
