Qualcomm’s New QCC74x Appears to Target the ESP32 MCUs
Qualcomm has introduced the QCC74x MCU, which appears to compete with Espressif's popular ESP32 MCUs. The QCC74x features WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.4, and a RISC-V CPU, making it a strong contender in the wireless microcontroller market. However, some features like Bluetooth and Zigbee support are currently not available, and its success will depend on software support and pricing.
- ▪Qualcomm's QCC74x MCU targets the ESP32 market with competitive specifications.
- ▪It includes WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.4, and a 352 MHz RISC-V CPU with DSP features.
- ▪The pricing for the QCC748M evaluation board is set at $13, positioning it against Espressif's offerings.

Qualcomm’s New QCC74x Appears To Target The ESP32 MCUs No comments by: Maya Posch May 17, 2026 Title: Copy Short Link: Copy These days wireless microcontrollers featuring built-in WiFi and Bluetooth are all the rage, with Espressif’s range of ESP32 MCUs being the default option for commercial and hobbyist projects alike. This makes Qualcomm’s recently released QCC74x MCU rather interesting, as specification-wise it would seem to be placed firmly in ESP32 territory. On the radio side you get 1×1 WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.4, and IEEE 802.15.4 (e.g. Thread and Zigbee), coupled with a single-core 352 MHz RISC-V CPU with FPU and DSP features and 484 kB of SRAM.
