Comparing the latency of various wireless standards

An extensive benchmarking study compared latency across various wireless protocols on common microcontroller development boards. Tested protocols include SiK firmware, LoRa, nRF24L01, ESP32 for ESP-NOW and WiFi, ESP32-C6 for 802.15.4, ESP32 and HC-05 for Bluetooth SPP, and ESP32 with NimBLE and Bluedroid stacks, alongside nRF52 for Bluetooth LE testing. Results indicate that: ➡️ nRF24 exhibits lowest latency for smaller payloads. ➡️ ESP32 TCP (WiFi) excels for larger data transfers....

Chip Wars, by Chris Miller - book summary

I recently read this ultra interesting book. It's very holistic and I admire the author's expertise to encapsulate it in text as stories. Spans around how Micron's memory design technology was made forgery; AMD finding workarounds from US laws to sell their chips in China; How a TI employee then went to build world's leading semiconductor fab;
Because someone has rewritten better than I could, here's the share: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/chip-war-chris-miller-summary-sachin-sahu/...
