Fanless and designed for AI, this mini PC features an NVIDIA Jetson Orin chip

Artificial Intelligence is on everyone’s lips, from lay people to experts in the field, and everything seems to indicate that we are still very far from what it will be capable of doing in the future. If we talk about AI, we have to talk about NVIDIA, a manufacturer that, thanks to GPUs dedicated to data centers, has seen spectacular growth over the last year and a half, placing itself above Amazon in terms of market capitalization, which no one would do. I imagined a few years ago.

In addition to GPUs, NVIDIA also offers a range of processors designed for AI like the module NVIDIA Jetson Music NX

capable of generating up to 275 billion operations per second with very low power consumption. If we are looking for a device already assembled with the NVIDIA Jetson Orin chip, we do not need to continue looking, since they are offered to us by the manufacturer SmartCow, a manufacturer specialized in launching products focused on AI and which has just presented the Uranus Plus.

Uranus Plus with AI

The mini PC is powered by the NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX module and the Jetson Orin Nano, this graphics card maker’s latest in a fanless computer. This equipment is available with 5G, 4G and Wi-Fi connectivity (the version of which is not specified) and includes 256 GB of NVMe SSD storage, which allows you to work on multiple neural networks and high-resolution image processing simultaneously.

The Uranus Plus has two USB3.2 Gen 2 Type A ports with a speed of up to 10 Gbps. It also includes a 2.5G Ethernet port. Both connectivity options are ideal for the use of industrial and security applications which can also be combined with certain AI responsible for carrying out supervision processes through cameras.

It has an HDMI port and a USB-C port that allow its owners to connect it to a PC to restore the system at any time using the home and recovery buttons located next to it. According to SmartCow, all of their products are designed for users who need work in AI environments

and who have high process needs.

The manufacturer has not revealed what the launch price of this equipment will be, because it is a product intended for the business world and not for domestic use, and it will not be really economical. Depending on the computer configuration, the NVIDIA module is based on the 650 dollars plus tax of the version with 8 Arm Cortex-A78AE processors and 16 GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 1024 cores up to more than 1,800 dollars of the version with 2048 cores, 32 GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 12 Arm Cortex-A78AE processors

If we want to obtain more information about this new model, the company will officially present it between March 18 and 21 at CGV 2024 of NVIDIA which will be held in San Jose, California, in the presence of the director of NVIDIA, Jensen Huang. We may also contact the manufacturer through their website to request additional information.
