alt Hacker NewsThe 8GB Pi 5, at $170 [1], is encroaching on Jetson Orin Nano Super's $240 price point [2]. But the Jetson has a faster CPU (newer a78ae cores rather than a76) and, obviously, a whole-ass GPU.

Yup. At this moment in the embedded world Jetson Orin Nano is the best value for money purchase. Absolute beast at the price point.

The 16GB Pi 5 makes the Orin Nano look afforadable.
Nvidia's software platform for the whole Jetson series was, at least in my experience, absolutely awful on the Jetson Nano and Orin boards I worked on. Has that improved at all? I did not appreciate that the only option they provided was a full desktop version of ancient Ubuntu... and even flashing the OS image was a bizarre process.
Edit: looks like they at least have a better headless option now.
