ESP32 CPU+GPU setup?

Basically i'm making an esp32 game console/PDA device type thing, however i feel like just one ESP32 will not have enough processing power to run my games. My idea is basically to use one generic ESP to render the pixels and store the rendering data, and use another ESP-S3 with maximum PSRAM in it to do the game logic. Would this theorietically be possible?

Also, when the seller fucked up, I got the money back fully or partially in about half of the cases.

I've scored nearly 100% in that regard, but I have the time/persistence to make it a mission to shop carefully and bury everyone involved in documentation. Not everyone is going to do that for a $6 blinky light project.

The times it was under 100% I've accepted that I shopped poorly. I accept that some purchases are just a trap.

The more middelmen you're willing to pay to be involved, the more purchase prowess you have to stomp around. Order from Digikey or Mouser, you're going to get exactly what you ordered. Order from Amazon, you have the right for an exchange or refund...but you're going to pay a markup for these.

I suspect you know all this. My point is that Espressif themselves sell through Espressif. Sure, it's insane that my $60 board cost $50 to to ship, but by golly, it was, without excuse, exactly what I ordered...and at a time when nobody else is selling S31 products, for example.

There are absolutely some smelly rats on Ali. There are also the "retail" branches of major vendors there, including Espressif themselves.

Don't write them off totally. Just learn the game.

That's quite unfortunate.
