Nordic nRF71 Series Chip Development Board Nordic's New nRF71 Chip Claims 20x Lower Wi-Fi Standby Power, and Adds an NPU for Edge AI

Wi-Fi is usually the first thing to drain a battery-powered gadget, which is why most low-power sensors use Bluetooth LE or Thread instead. Nordic Semiconductor wants to change that with the nRF71 Series, a single chip that combines Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth LE and Thread with its own processors and, on one version, an NPU for edge AI. Nordic claims up to 20 times lower standby power than its current…
