Not much was unveiled but it showed a Blackwell GPU with 1PFLOP of FP4 compute, 128GB unified DDR5X memory, 20 ARM cores, and ConnectX powering two QSFP slots so one can stack multiple of them.

edit: While the title says "personal", Jensen did say this was aimed at startups and similar, so not your living room necessarily.

From the size and pricing ($3000) alone, it's safe to conclude it has less raw FLOPs than a 5090. Since it uses LPDDR5X, almost certainly less memory bandwidth too (5090 @ 1.8 TB/s, M4 Max w/ 128GB LPDDR5X @ 546 GB/s). Basically the only advantage is how much VRAM it packs in a small form factor, and presumably greater power efficiency at its smaller scale.

The only thing it really competes with is the Mac Studio for LocalLlama-type enthusiasts and devs. It isn't cheap enough to dent the used market, nor powerful enough to stand in for bigger cards.

Of course. It has much less FLOPs than the 5090, after all this will have a TDP of ~50W and run off a regular USB-PD power supply.

It's basically the successor to the AGX Orin and in line with its pricing (considering it comes with a fast NIC). The AGX Orin had RTX 3050 levels of performance.

Yes and no. Jetson line (which Jetson AGX Orin is a part of) is also providing multi-camera support (with MIPI CSI-2 connectors) and other real-time / microcontroller stuff, as well as rugged options via partners.

I hope to see new Jetsons based on Blackwell sometime in 2026 (they tend to be slow to release those).

Yeah, i guess its more a branch off the jetson line. Or a midpoint between the Jetsons, IGX Orin (not a typo) and Data Center offerings.
