You think a Cortex-M0+ in a disposable vape is wasteful, wait until you see the ones with colour touchscreens and Bluetooth radios. It's probably only a matter of time before they start running Android on them.

What's insane is how cheap all those components are. A quadcore processor with ram and memory, WiFi and Bluetooth for pennies at wholesale.

The latest and fastest GPUs might be a marvel of technology, but so is the tech that let's us make and esp32 for almost nothing

yeah, in 1992 we ran Doom on a 386DX 20Mhz and 320x200 VGA mode :-D

(and it was slooooow and ugly!)
