Nvidia Unveils $3,499 Robotics Chip for 'Physical AI'

NVIDIA's Jetson AGX Thor offers 7.5 times more AI compute and 3.5 times greater energy efficiency than its predecessor, enabling real-time multi-model generative AI for robotics.

  • On Aug. 25, 2025, NVIDIA announced the general availability of the Jetson AGX Thor developer kit priced at $3,499, with shipments starting next month.
  • After consolidating its car and robotics units, NVIDIA's combined automotive and robotics reporting unit generated $567 million quarterly sales, up 72% year-over-year, as CEO Jensen Huang calls robotics the largest growth opportunity outside AI.
  • Built on NVIDIA's Blackwell GPU, Jetson AGX Thor features 128GB memory, delivers up to 2,070 FP4 teraflops, and offers 7.5x more AI compute with 3.5x better energy efficiency than Jetson Orin.
  • NVIDIA positions the chip for diverse industries including manufacturing and healthcare, with early adopters Agility Robotics, Amazon Robotics, Meta and Boston Dynamics; NVIDIA shares rose nearly 8% to $181.27.
  • For production, NVIDIA will offer Thor T5000 modules at $2,999 each for orders of 1,000 or more via embedded and distribution partners, with Deepu Talla saying, `We do not build robots, we do not build cars, but we enable the whole industry with our infrastructure computers and the associated software`.
