<div>Yes, it's quite interesting! I was recently reading about H7. I need something that can support a large TFT (800x480 perhaps) so that chews up a lot of SRAM. The main MCU contender at the moment is the ESP32-S3 unfortunately.</div>

<div>Subject: [sdiy] New cute "Microcontrollers" - STM32U with integrated GPU for UIs (+math accel + analog stuff)</div>

I found it interesting already that things like STM32F4 are called "microcontroller" (instead of e.g. SoC)<br>
</p>
<p>Now they announced these things, with 2.5 MB SRAM and a "2.5D GPU" to provide modern user interfaces without taxing the general purpose computing core so much.</p>

<p>The "GPU"<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://blog.st.com/neochrom-gpu/">https://blog.st.com/neochrom-gpu/</a></p>
<p>I looked at a particular "smaller" one ("Only" 100 pin LQFP ;) ), has a Cortex M33 core with FPU, TFT LCD + touch sense controllers, CORDIC + FMAC math accelerators.<br>
Has also some analog stuff on board: comparators, opamps, and next to the 12bit I knew also 14-bit-ADCs.<br>
32bit timers.<br>
Mouser quotes it at 10.57 € when buying 540 pcs. (availabnle in Q2 2023, supposedly)<br>

<p>I guess if and when they'll be throwing around Nucleo devboards with those, I might fetch me one to play ;)</p>
