Nordic semiconductor also has microcontrollers with BT and Wifi. They are much less common than espressifs solution though.

  BT/Wifi on a single chip? Do you have a part number? That'd be revolutionary. I love the ESP32. But they love (too much) current.

      But these solutions require two chips, one for bluetooth and one for wifi where the ESP32 does it all in one.

        Ah yes, you're right, I misunderstood their page.

  Because the prices are not competitive enough for hobbyists. How can you expect people to adopt and develop on top of your chips if they can't afford it?

  Fyi, while Nordic products are usually excellent, they did not design the wifi ics. They bought a company and slapped their name on the chips. I haven't used them yet, but from what I've heard they don't live up to Nordic's standard. Edit: also afaik they don't have a mcu+wifi in one yet.
