The STM32 Performance series features performance ARM Cortex cores such as M4, M7, and M33 with high clock frequencies. This family, even if energy efficient in computing, is intended not to work in energy constraint environments. Performance series offers bigger RAM and Flash memories, advanced features oriented toward creation of the rich user interfaces, such as Chrome-ART Graphic Accelerator, and HDMI support. This series also provides developers advanced instruction sets such as DSP and FPU. STM32 Performance Series chips are bigger, more expensive, and more power-consuming. This last factor, however, can be controlled with advanced power management features.
Applications that benefit from the STM32 Performance series include industrial automation, high-performance IoT devices, motor control, multimedia, audio processing, and more. Performance Series MCUs are often used in applications where computational power and feature-rich peripherals are needed.
