NVIDIA B300 vs NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano Super Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no recorded benchmark scores for either the NVIDIA B300 or the NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano Super. Both entries show an average benchmark score of zero, and the head-to-head benchmark table is empty. This absence of measured data means the comparison must rely entirely on the architectural and specification fields recorded in the database.

The B300 is a server-class accelerator built on the GB110 chip with the Blackwell Ultra architecture, fabricated on a 5 nm process at TSMC. It carries 104,000 million transistors. The Jetson Orin Nano Super uses the GA10B chip with the Ampere architecture, built on an 8 nm process at Samsung, with a die size of 200 mm². The B300 does not list a die size, while the Jetson lists no transistor count.

Clock speeds differ substantially. The B300 shows a base clock of 1665 MHz and a boost clock of 2032 MHz, with memory clocked at 2000 MHz and 8 Gbps effective. The Jetson Orin Nano Super lists no base or boost clocks for the core, but its memory runs at 800 MHz with 6.4 Gbps effective. These figures indicate the B300 operates at significantly higher frequencies, though the absence of core clocks for the Jetson prevents a direct clock-to-clock comparison.

Memory capacity and bandwidth represent the largest measurable gap. The B300 features 144 GB of HBM3e memory on a 4096-bit bus, delivering 4.10 TB/s of bandwidth. The Jetson Orin Nano Super has 8 GB of LPDDR5 memory on a 128-bit bus, yielding 102.4 GB/s. The B300 provides 18 times the memory capacity and roughly 40 times the memory bandwidth, based on the recorded figures.

Compute throughput follows a similar pattern. The B300 records 18,944 shading units, 592 texture mapping units, and 24 raster output units. The Jetson Orin Nano Super has 1,024 shading units, 32 TMUs, and 16 ROPs. In FP32 arithmetic, the B300 reaches 76.99 TFLOPS compared to 2.089 TFLOPS for the Jetson, a ratio of approximately 36.9 to 1. For FP16, the B300 lists 1,231.8 TFLOPS with a 16:1 ratio, while the Jetson lists 4.178 TFLOPS with a 2:1 ratio.

Tensor core counts differ as well. The B300 integrates 592 tensor cores, while the Jetson Orin Nano Super has 32. Pixel and texture rates reflect the underlying hardware: the B300 reaches 48.77 GPixel/s and 1,202.9 GTexel/s, whereas the Jetson reaches 16.32 GPixel/s and 32.64 GTexel/s. The B300 leads in pixel throughput by a factor of about 3, and in texture throughput by a factor of roughly 36.9.

Power consumption is recorded at 1400 W for the B300, with a suggested power supply of 1800 W, while the Jetson Orin Nano Super draws 25 W. This is a 56-fold difference in TDP. The B300 uses an SXM module slot width, whereas the Jetson is an IGP form factor. The B300 connects via PCIe 5.0 x16; the Jetson uses PCIe 4.0 x4. Display outputs are absent on the B300, while the Jetson has outputs described as portable device dependent.

Release dates place the B300 on 2025-09-10 and the Jetson Orin Nano Super on 2024-12-16. Both are marked as active in production status. The B300 lists its predecessor as Server Hopper and its successor as Server Rubin. The Jetson has no predecessor or successor recorded.

The Verdict

The recorded data shows two devices engineered for entirely different deployment scenarios. The B300 targets server-scale compute with 144 GB of HBM3e, 4.10 TB/s of bandwidth, 76.99 TFLOPS FP32, and 1,231.8 TFLOPS FP16. The Jetson Orin Nano Super targets edge and embedded workloads with 8 GB of LPDDR5, 102.4 GB/s of bandwidth, 2.089 TFLOPS FP32, and 4.178 TFLOPS FP16.

For any workload that demands maximum memory capacity, memory bandwidth, or raw FP32 and FP16 throughput, the B300 is the only option among the two. Its 1400 W TDP and SXM module form factor indicate a data center installation with dedicated power and cooling infrastructure. The database lists no launch MSRP for the B300.

The Jetson Orin Nano Super carries a launch MSRP of 249 USD. Its 25 W TDP and IGP form factor suit compact, power-constrained environments. The portable device dependent display outputs confirm its role in systems where the GPU is integrated into a host device rather than a standalone accelerator.

Neither device holds a benchmark advantage in the database, since no scores exist. The verdict follows from the specification fields: the B300 wins on every recorded performance metric, while the Jetson Orin Nano Super wins on power efficiency and physical footprint. The B300 consumes 56 times the power of the Jetson, so the Jetson delivers more performance per watt for FP32: 2.089 TFLOPS divided by 25 W equals approximately 0.0836 TFLOPS per watt, versus 76.99 TFLOPS divided by 1400 W equals approximately 0.0550 TFLOPS per watt. That efficiency gap favors the Jetson for battery-powered or thermally limited systems.

Architecture Differences

The B300 uses the GB110 chip under the Blackwell Ultra architecture, fabricated on a 5 nm process at TSMC. The Jetson Orin Nano Super uses the GA10B chip under the Ampere architecture, fabricated on an 8 nm process at Samsung. The process node difference gives the B300 a manufacturing advantage in transistor density, though the database records no transistor density figure for either part.

Transistor counts confirm the scale difference. The B300 integrates 104,000 million transistors. The Jetson has an unknown transistor count per the database, but its die size is listed at 200 mm². The B300 lists no die size, so a direct area comparison is impossible.

The memory architectures diverge completely. The B300 uses HBM3e with a 4096-bit bus, a configuration designed for massive parallel bandwidth in server workloads. The Jetson uses LPDDR5 with a 128-bit bus, a configuration optimized for low power and integration into compact modules. The B300's memory clock of 2000 MHz with 8 Gbps effective is significantly higher than the Jetson's 800 MHz with 6.4 Gbps effective.

Tensor core implementations differ in count and capability. The B300 has 592 tensor cores versus 32 on the Jetson. The FP16 ratios reveal distinct design goals: the B300 lists 1,231.8 TFLOPS at a 16:1 ratio, indicating a heavily tensor-focused architecture that trades FP16 compute for massive matrix throughput. The Jetson lists 4.178 TFLOPS at a 2:1 ratio, meaning its FP16 throughput is only double its FP32 throughput, a more balanced configuration for general-purpose edge compute.

The B300 belongs to the Server Blackwell (Bxx) generation, with its predecessor recorded as Server Hopper and successor as Server Rubin. The Jetson belongs to the Tegra (Ampere) generation, with no predecessor or successor listed. The B300 supports no display outputs, while the Jetson supports portable device dependent outputs. The B300 lists no API support for DirectX, OpenGL, or Vulkan, whereas the Jetson lists DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, confirming its suitability for graphics workloads at the edge.

Where Each One Wins

The B300 wins on every measured performance metric in the database. Its 144 GB memory capacity suits workloads that require large model residency, such as training or inference over massive datasets. The 4.10 TB/s bandwidth supports high-throughput data movement, and the 76.99 TFLOPS FP32 and 1,231.8 TFLOPS FP16 provide substantial compute headroom. The 592 tensor cores and 16:1 FP16 ratio indicate an architecture optimized for matrix operations, which aligns with deep learning inference and training tasks. The PCIe 5.0 x16 interface and SXM module form factor position it for server racks with high-bandwidth interconnects.

The Jetson Orin Nano Super wins on power efficiency and physical size. Its 25 W TDP allows operation in systems where the B300's 1400 W TDP is impossible. The 70 mm by 45 mm dimensions fit into embedded devices, robotics platforms, and portable equipment. The 8 GB LPDDR5 memory, while small relative to the B300, is adequate for edge inference workloads that process single frames or small batches. The 2.089 TFLOPS FP32 and 4.178 TFLOPS FP16 deliver usable compute for real-time applications. The DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4 API support enable graphics rendering, a capability the B300 lacks entirely. The PCIe 4.0 x4 interface is sufficient for edge integration, and the portable device dependent display outputs allow direct connection to screens.

The B300's 56-fold higher TDP relative to the Jetson means each device wins in its intended power envelope. The B300 leads in raw throughput, memory subsystem, and tensor capability. The Jetson leads in power per FP32 TFLOPS, API coverage, and form factor flexibility.
