But no real competition for on-chip Wifi/BLE around. Only ugly two-chip solutions or hyper exotic stuff with no community.

- bsder 1y ago> But no real competition for on-chip Wifi/BLE around. No competition or no market? I can't imagine Espressif is selling much volume of these chips. The fact that they can't even fix their SPI module would tend to indicate that their engineering staff is very thin.
- monocasa 1y agoThey've sold a billion of the things. https://www.espressif.com/en/news/1_Billion_Chip_Sales https://www.espressif.com/en/news/1_Billion_Chip_Sales
- userbinator 1y agoI'm not sure about WiFi, but JieLi (JL) definitely has a huge marketshare for single-chip BLE/BT. They are the origin of the infamous "the Bluetooth device is ready to pair" stock prompt voice.
- AlotOfReading 1y agoNot sure I'd call the silabs chips hyper exotic. The SIWG917 is intended as a direct competitor to ESP32s. It's a bit more expensive, but not unexpectedly so.
- mrheosuper 1y agooh there are a lots, it's just that they are not interested in Western market. BES, Sifli, realtek, boufallo, etc.
