The Jetson Nano module contains a quadcore ARM A57 processor and 128 Maxwell GPU cores. We connectan Edge TPU to the system via the m.2 slot on the back of the Jetson Nano processor/GPU module. The three types of processingunits, CPU, GPU, and Edge TPU exchange data through the onboard PCIe interface.

This could potentially make the 8700G faster than a 7800X3D!

This should hopefully pave the way for CPU companies to figure out ways to eek out more performance from their CPU SKUs with iGPUs.
