COMPARE PERFORMANCE METRICS OF DIFFERENT EMBEDDED SYSTEM ARCHITECTURES FOR SPECIFIC IOT USE CASES

The growing IoT landscape demands embedded system architectures that balance performance and resource constraints. This study compares ARM Cortex-M, RISC-V, and ESP32 architectures in industrial automation and healthcare applications. Key metrics, including latency, power consumption, and throughput, were evaluated using benchmarks and real-world workloads. Results show ESP32 achieving TCP throughput of 12–15 Mbps and UDP throughput of 35–40 Mbps, ideal for wireless communication. ARM Cortex-M offers versatility, RISC-V excels in energy efficiency, and ESP32 leads in connectivity. These findings guide IoT system architects in selecting hardware tailored to specific requirements, advancing embedded IoT system design.
