Teensy 3.2 VS Arduino Due and Arduino Mega. Which one is faster?

I wanted to find out if Teensy 3.2, despite its small size, is faster than the Arduino Due, the fastest Arduino board available today. So I build a simple project where both boards run the same sketch, the Newton's approximation of Pi for 500.000 iterations. Which one is faster? The board that finished first. Teensy or Arduino Due?

Want to learn to code?

Ma il codice di Arduino è compatibile con Teensy o bisogna fare degli aggiustamenti di codice?
But is the Arduino code compatible with Teensy or do you have to make code adjustments?

8-bit microcontrollers are dying slowly. Pun intended!

[daslolo]

How about displaying Teensy via SPI DMA?

[dlcy]

What about comparison of power consumption? (great video btw:-) )

[jacobhn]

Is the due like an 4 core cpu that can handel 4 x 8 bit data at the same time.

That was a great video! I think the Teensy 3.2 can go a long ways. not just because of the speed, but because of the size making it more smaller compact for smaller projects. There still the factory of the power. :-)

I love your quick posts and watch them every week! Thanks! However, the one thing that I always feel that you miss is cost. I understand this is difficult when you are communicating with people all over the world but it still is a factor that really needs to be addressed. Not sure the best way to implement some type of cost rating system that can be understood by everyone but it would really be helpful if you at least gave something a shot and let the viewers provide comments. The cost of something certainly has some level of importance to almost everybody.

hi,
which board should be used for audio filtration

[errolandrade]

Hello, .

I'm planning to do computer controlled Christmas lights with ws2811 as decorator for several events which need around 3-4 thousand leds. Which is the best controller to use in terms of maximum lights with better refresh rates and econonic

[lesliesaunders]

Think you're right Nick, the days of 8 bit mcus are numbered, but I'd like to see a 32 bit arduino board with the same footprint as the teensy or pro mini available in the near future.

Now that the teensy 4.1 (and 4.0 are out) which run the Cortex M7 at 800 MHZ, the speed difference will be much greater. I really have no idea why anyone would use Arduino given the power of a Teensy. Why the teensy 3.2 (and 4.0) are more expensive than an UNO or Nano, speed and memory will make up the difference.

[daszieher]

I am just flabbergasted by the fact that computing power that would have awed my teenage self, but could not be transported by one person, now comfortably fits into a trouser pocket.

Try to compare some STM32 board and this Teensy...

[davidjackson]

Thankyou for the display, that says heaps and looking at 3d printing Teensy looks like it will do a brilliant job. I havent printed yet but notice funny faults in peoples prints, with MEGA dithering in your display makes sense as to why. Is there much difference with original boards compared to Chinese in this test?

Good video and great test. When I first started with Arduino (coming from a PIC and Motorola background) I bought mostly UNOs and Nanos, but also DUE, MEGA boards in case I needed more memory and speed. I haven't used the latter, but in the meantime read a lot about Teensy and decided to try it out. Wow! Fast, and so easy to program using Arduino IDE, and it comes in such a small package, smaller than a Nano! More expensive, but worth it for the speed and memory. You should compare those Arduinos with ESP8266 and ESP32...just for the heck of it, see where they land on the performance page. BTW, I DON'T think the days of 8 bit MCUs are "numbered". I can buy 6 Nanos for the price of a Teensy, and if it can do the job why not? I drive a 16x32 custom pixel display (5 feet wide) with an Atmel 328, the same chip in the UNO! But just in case I need higher refresh speeds, I made my PCB so it would take a Teensy as well. I have a dozen projects that use the Atmel328 in UNOs, Leonardos, and Nanos.

[woodworkermd]

Wow, going to have to check out the Teensy

[mdafroz]

Can you please uplode mote. Information about. Tensy

[pfabiszewski]

Curious about comparison between Arduino/Genuino 101 and Teensy as well...

[magnuswootton]

How am I supposed to mass manufacture if im stuck with these boards from other companies?!?!?

[mohamedola]

Great video and great effort.
Sorry, I have another question which is not related to this subject.
I want the code of reading the temperature from IR sensor (MLX90614) which connected to Arduino Due.
and then used with Arduino Uno or Mega and it work but with Due doesn't (I know they are different in architecture).
So could anyone help me to solve this problem.
