Nvidia accelerates end-of-life for some Jetson AI processors due to memory shortages — RAMpocalypse sends older DDR4-based modules to the great scrapheap in the sky

Nvidia is accelerating the end-of-life for older Jetson AI processors like Xavier and TX2 due to memory shortages, particularly LPDDR4 scarcity. Connect Tech notes that Nvidia has moved these devices to Non-Cancelable, Non-Returnable status, with specific deadlines for final purchase orders and shipping. The newer Orin and Thor systems, based on LPDDR5, remain available despite price increases. Developers are advised to consider migrating to newer hardware like Orin for long-term viability as the industry shifts focus away from DDR4 memory.
