I didn't know there were 2 cores, well, 3 cores, in the ESP32. Under normal coding with the Arduino libraries, you don't normally access the 2nd (fast) core. Andreas shows how to access it and shows how much faster the ESP32 over the Arduino it can be.

 
Yeah, I've had my eye on this new device too. I'm considering using it for part of my BMS design. I've been putting off buying anything at this stage though, as I thought I'd wait for the various boards and Arduino libraries to mature as much as possible before I commit to anything.
 
Yeah ESP32 is the way to go. Unless you just wanna save some bucks then you can get the ESP8266 almost for free :)
