NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 SE vs NVIDIA Jetson T4000 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results between the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 SE and the NVIDIA Jetson T4000. Both products have an average benchmark score of zero in the database, and no nearest rivals are listed for either unit. The wins counter shows zero for each side. This absence of measured performance data means that any comparison must rely entirely on the architectural and specification differences documented in the database.

The GeForce RTX 5090 SE delivers an FP32 compute throughput of 66.94 TFLOPS, while the Jetson T4000 delivers 4.700 TFLOPS. In raw floating-point capability, the RTX 5090 SE offers more than 14 times the throughput, a direct consequence of its 14,080 shading units versus 1,536 on the Jetson T4000. The pixel rate for the RTX 5090 SE is 380.3 GPixel/s compared to 24.48 GPixel/s for the Jetson T4000, a margin of roughly 15.5 times. Texture rate follows the same pattern: 1,045.9 GTexel/s versus 73.44 GTexel/s, a difference of approximately 14.2 times.

Memory bandwidth separates the two further. The RTX 5090 SE reaches 1.34 TB/s over a 384-bit GDDR7 interface, while the Jetson T4000 manages 273.2 GB/s across a 256-bit LPDDR5X bus. The RTX 5090 SE has nearly five times the bandwidth, which matters for workloads that stream large datasets to the compute units. The RTX 5090 SE also uses 110 RT cores and 440 tensor cores, while the Jetson T4000 has 12 RT cores and 64 tensor cores. These figures indicate a large gap in ray tracing and tensor operation capacity, though no direct benchmark scores exist to quantify the practical effect.

Where Each One Wins

The GeForce RTX 5090 SE is positioned as a high-throughput rendering and compute part. Its 24 GB of GDDR7 memory, 384-bit bus, and 1.34 TB/s bandwidth support large frame buffers and high-resolution texture streaming. The 14,080 shading units, 440 TMUs, and 160 ROPs give it substantial fill-rate headroom. The boost clock of 2377 MHz and base clock of 1740 MHz are both above the Jetson T4000's fixed 1530 MHz. The RTX 5090 SE supports DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, making it suitable for graphics APIs that require modern feature sets.

The NVIDIA Jetson T4000 wins in capacity and power efficiency. It carries 64 GB of LPDDR5X memory, which is 40 GB more than the RTX 5090 SE. This larger memory pool suits inference workloads with large model footprints or datasets that must reside entirely on the card. The Jetson T4000 has a 90 W TDP against the RTX 5090 SE's 500 W, and its suggested PSU is 250 W versus 900 W. The Jetson T4000 is an IGP (integrated graphics processor) with no display outputs, indicating a server or embedded role. Its PCIe 5.0 x8 interface is narrower than the RTX 5090 SE's PCIe 5.0 x16, but the power budget is far lower.

The Jetson T4000 delivers FP32 and FP16 at 4.700 TFLOPS with a 1:1 ratio, identical to the RTX 5090 SE's 1:1 FP16/FP32 ratio. Both parts share the Blackwell architecture family, but the RTX 5090 SE uses Blackwell 2.0 while the Jetson T4000 uses the base Blackwell. The Jetson T4000 is built on the same 5 nm TSMC process, but its die is 391 mm² versus 750 mm² for the RTX 5090 SE. The Jetson T4000 uses fewer transistors, listed as unknown in the database, while the RTX 5090 SE has 92,200 million transistors.

Architecture Differences

The RTX 5090 SE is built on the GB202 chip with the Blackwell 2.0 architecture. The Jetson T4000 uses the GB10B chip with the base Blackwell architecture. Both are manufactured by TSMC on a 5 nm process node. The RTX 5090 SE has a die size of 750 mm², while the Jetson T4000 is smaller at 391 mm². The transistor density for the RTX 5090 SE is recorded as 122.9M per mm², while the Jetson T4000 has no density figure listed.

The shading unit count differs substantially: 14,080 on the RTX 5090 SE versus 1,536 on the Jetson T4000. This is a ratio of roughly 9.2 to 1. TMUs follow at 440 versus 48, and ROPs at 160 versus 16. The RT core count is 110 versus 12, and tensor core count is 440 versus 64. These differences point to a much larger execution array on the RTX 5090 SE, which explains the higher pixel, texture, and compute rates.

Memory architecture diverges as well. The RTX 5090 SE uses GDDR7 with a 384-bit bus and 24 GB capacity. The Jetson T4000 uses LPDDR5X with a 256-bit bus and 64 GB capacity. The effective memory clock is 28 Gbps for the RTX 5090 SE and 8.5 Gbps for the Jetson T4000. This yields 1.34 TB/s versus 273.2 GB/s. The Jetson T4000 trades bandwidth for capacity and lower power consumption.

The RTX 5090 SE supports a full graphics API stack: DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The Jetson T4000 has no graphics API support recorded (N/A for DirectX, OpenGL, and Vulkan), consistent with its server-class, headless design. The RTX 5090 SE has display outputs (1x HDMI 2.1b, 3x DisplayPort 2.1b), while the Jetson T4000 has no outputs.
