No-nonsense breakdown of the original ESP32, ESP32-S3, ESP32-C3 and ESP32-C6, ESP32-H2, and upcoming P-series chips! With that much variety, the #esp32 family of chips can fit a budget IoT project or a (rather) compute-hungry edge AI application - the only issue is knowing which one to choose... Watch this video for a quick #overview of all the ESP32 series, starting from #esp8266 to the newest ESP32-P4 - plus my own personal comment on the best chip choice.
