Yeah it is. Maybe there is something about the Tensilica cores, as the ESP8266 still hasn't got a real contender? Apparently they have a special toolchain that lets customers create customized cores in a more or less automated way, and they started as a dataplane/DSP company in the 90s. Quite weird.
- smcl 10y agoNot sure what the competition looks like. I saw this the other day but I haven't read much more about it: http://hackaday.com/2016/07/28/new-chip-alert-rtl8710-a-cheaper-esp8266-competitor/ http://hackaday.com/2016/07/28/new-chip-alert-rtl8710-a-chea...
- MrBuddyCasino 10y agoTrue, that one looked ok, but 48k of RAM is a step down, and I don't see any other peripherals (e.g. bluetooth) that would make me want to switch.
- thejake0 10y agoThe first real contender to the ESP8266 is set to release September 1st: the successor to the ESP8266, the ESP32 - now with dual Tensilica cores (and a bunch of other stuff).
- MrBuddyCasino 10y agoI'm waiting for this one to drop like a little girl for a pony on christmas. Hope its not gonna be a disappointment for some reason.
