Talking again but with something in mind: A78 should be the next small core. Those are extremely efficient and powerful at the same time.

Wait. For things like thermometers?? Why not throw in a hundred Neoverse-V3's and call it a day?

For a thermometer or other type of simple sensor equipment anything beyond a microcontroller is surplus to need.

Even an A5x/A5xx/Cx Nano core would be overkill.

The point is to draw as little power as possible leaving it for the sensor itself to do its job.

I know. That was my exact point. Hence the sarcastic mention of a hundred Neoverse V3's.

It's the new rage. Collecting a bushel of dollar store digital pregnancy tests, flashing them with a new firmware to enable their low power wireless modules, configuring them as a Beowulf cluster to software render crisis on the head node.

That sure beats playing Skyrim on a refrigerator.
