I was hoping he was going to quote larger parts Thanks!

I am pretty much on top of the pricing of M3/M4 stuff, so I was hoping I missed something.

I was thinking on the same lines, but might consider it for lower volumes too. The applications I have in mind do not require complex programming.

I anticipate that the maker community will be drawn to ESP8266 and support from the community will much better than what you could get from TI.

ARM processors are available for as low as 32 cents and 8 bit micros are even cheaper. So if power consumption or board space is not a concern then you can simply use ESP8266 as a peripheral. Even with the additional micro, the cost is still lower than CC3200 or any other WiFi soultion.

If TI revises the cost of CC3200 to around $3 then it might tip the scale in TI's favor. But it has to do it before ESP8266 or any other SoC gains critical mass.

TI has some of the best support available. It will be better than anything you'll get from a volunteer community. TI is paying skilled people to support their products and they have been doing it for a very long time.
