Nvidia Launches Blackwell-Powered Jetson Thor Kit, Fueling Stock Rally
Nvidia unveiled its Blackwell-powered Jetson Thor developer kit, marking a significant leap in robotics computing. The new system delivers 7.5x more AI compute power and 3.5x greater energy efficiency than its predecessor, Jetson Orin. CEO Jensen Huang positions it as the "ultimate supercomputer" for physical AI and general robotics.
NVDA shares ROSE 1.8% following the announcement, continuing a 4.4% monthly gain. The launch coincides with Nvidia's introduction of its Blackwell-based B30AI chip in China, creating dual catalysts for the stock. Market attention now shifts to this week's quarterly earnings report, which analysts expect to maintain Nvidia's growth trajectory.
