Based on my comparisons of Maxwell core to Pascal core efficiency, this should results in roughly a 1.4x speed up of FP32.

I will also add that we use the TX1 in our unmanned vehicles all the time and it works great.

EDIT 1, I mean real UAVs like the kinds that fly over 3km high, not grad student projects (no offence, i was once one of them too). We use connect tech for a ruggedized carrier board.

Wouldn't it be nice if keras 2.0 came out this week too?

Does the TX2 boards have gpio connectors? I've been meaning to upgrade my rasberry pi robot into a more serious unmanned vehicle.

Yes according to the spec here:

Like the memory bump, not clear how many CUDA cores are there..

>With the dev kit leading the charge for Jetson TX2, NVIDIA will be selling it for $599 retail/$299 education, the same price the Jetson TX1 dev kit launched at back in 2015.

2 years later and the TX 1 dev kit still costs ~500$. Now that pre-orders for the TX 2 are open, shouldn't the price go down significantly? I'd really like to try it but the price is too steep IMO

This sounds super cool. I want to know more, do you guys have a web site?

An NVIDIA representative a week ago told me 2x but that might be a bit high, I'd take it as a cap, and maybe it is the case using tensorRT.
