-In addition to the S series, Espressif has introduced two more variants in the C family: the [[esp32c3|ESP32-C3]] and [[esp32c6|ESP32-C6]]. The ESP32-C3 is a microcontroller focused on low-power operation, with speeds up to 160 MHz, single-core cpu with an active current of around 2-5 mA. It features a reduced pin count compared to other ESP32 variants but still retains [[wifi|Wi-Fi]] and Bluetooth capabilities. The ESP32-C6, released in 2022, boasts higher performance with speeds up to 240 MHz and a reduced active current of around 1.8-3.4 mA. The C6 is the only ESP32 chip, as of 2026, to be compatable with 5GHz WiFi. Both the C3 and C6 (along with the S3-Supermini) are the first of the ESP32 family to move from XTENSA-based CPUs to ARM-based CPUs.

 ALL ESP32 Family Microcontrollers are capable of using a local wireless communication protocol for esp-to-esp communication using their [[wifi|WiFi]] radios called ESPnow
