What would the performance be like though? Would you want to use a ESP32 for watching Videos? Would that be doable?
The ESP32-C6 has WiFi 6 support and 5 GHz, so theoretically that can be order of magnitude faster. But it might have completely different hardware and require separate reverse engineering. And practical speeds will still be limited compared to dedicated WiFi hardware.
Note that neither the framerate not resolution would be something to write home about. We're talking abot an aging MCU here.
One of the main limitation tends to be to be around pushing pixels to the screen - most displays are serial (SPI) based which tops out at 80Mhz.
The other limitation is a lack of hardware video decoding. Some of the latest ESP32 chips are RISCV based and have SIMD instructions which can improve decode performance.
But if you pick an easy to decode codec (MJPEG) is popular. The you can get decent performance with the size of displays available.
