smacdad Someone needs to get one of these cruise missiles to Bringus Studios so he can get it to run Doom. Reply

evilpaul Who cares? Old 40nm Chinese smart car chips would also probably work. Reply

razor512 That seems really wasteful, considering that the overpriced module will get ruined within a few seconds of being used, and the damage will almost certainly void any warranty the part has. Russia could get get far more use out these devices if they made it so that the missiles never exploded. They could then work on expanding what software the missile can run, e.g., a media server for steaming and transcoding anime. Reply

After all, you can kill someone by blowing them up, but you can do even worse things to them by controlling their media! Reply

Because edge platforms like the Jetson Orin combine unified memory architectures, low power draw, and high throughput Tensor Cores, they eliminate the need to design bulky custom ASICs for automated perception tasks. Furthermore, because Jetson modules are mass market, commercial grade components widely distributed globally for robotics, research, and industrial automation, unlike export controlled high performance datacenter accelerators, such as H100s, they remain relatively accessible via 3rd party distributors and intermediary supply chains despite broad international trade sanctions.
