ESP8266 vs ESP32: when the little one is (not) worth it
Real differences between the ESP8266 and the ESP32, what each costs, where the 8266 still makes sense, and why today the ESP32-C3 beats it almost every time.

Real differences between the ESP8266 and the ESP32, what each costs, where the 8266 still makes sense, and why today the ESP32-C3 beats it almost every time.
Everything about the ESP32-P4: two RISC-V cores at 400 MHz, 768 KB SRAM, 55 GPIOs, MIPI-CSI/DSI, USB 2.0 HS and Ethernet. No Wi-Fi or Bluetooth: pair it with a C6.
Everything about the ESP32-H2: low-power RISC-V, 320 KB SRAM, 19 GPIOs with ADC, BLE 5 and 802.15.4, no Wi-Fi, and why that is an advantage in smart homes.
Everything about the ESP32-C6: dual RISC-V core, Wi-Fi 6, BLE 5, 802.15.4 radio (Thread/Zigbee/Matter), USB Serial/JTAG, pinout and when it is the right choice.
