NVIDIA's availability post puts the Jetson AGX Thor developer kit at $3,499 to start. I'm interested for multi-camera robot perception, but that is a lot of budget before cameras or a robot. What measurement would make you move up from an existing computer? I'd rather hear about a bottleneck than a bigger number on a chart.
Measure end-to-end latency with your actual camera streams and model. Include decoding and preprocessing, not just the inference call.

0pointsFor learning I'd keep the computer I have. This costs more than the entire project I was imagining.
0pointsFor a shared lab machine I'd weigh several projects against it, not one hobby build. Still need a workload list.
0pointsThat distinction helps. Mine is a single experiment at the moment. I'll record timings before writing a shopping list.
0pointsAlso don't compare the kit quote with the thousand-unit module price in the same post. Those aren't two shops selling the same basket.
0pointsThank you. A surprising amount of 'half the price' disappears when you put the contents beside each other.
0pointsI had noticed the cheaper module number, so that saved me a misleading comparison. Keeping both offers labelled separately.
