xCORE-U VS XU200

[MichaelN]

Hello,

What is practical difference between xCORE-U and XU200 processors?
I'm new in xMOS processors and can't clearly see it.
May be power consumption less in XU200 or some other features?
I want use it in battery powered device.

Lots...
XU200 is dual issue (up to twice as fast), up to 4x the RAM per tile and a lot cheaper:
Comprable 16 core devices:

Also XU200 is available in QFP whereas xCORE-U isn't
However, xCORE-U has built in DC-DC and ADC (if needed), which need adding externally

Power is a bit less for the XU200 - it has better clock gating in the silicon and the USB PHY is slightly better on power too.

I'd strongly recommend going the XU200 route for new designs
