The Thermal Performance Of NVIDIA's Jetson Nano $99 Developer Board: One of the exciting product launches for this month has been the introduction of the NVIDIA Jetson Nano as a $99 Arm developer board offering four Cortex-A57 cores that isn't too special itself but packing in a 128-core Maxwell NVIDIA GPU makes this board interesting for the price.

Here are some thermal benchmarks.
