This looks like a nucleo144, except its risc-v... but why would I use it over said nucleo144?

Better connectivity. The Nucleo 144 only has 100mbit ethernet, as far as I can tell, but the new ESP chip has gigabit, along with wireless.

WiFi+BLE?

And even if you don't need WiFi + BLE for a particular project, you may need it for other projects, and it might have value for you to standardise on one ecosystem.

When can we buy these?

The dev boards are already up for sale. I'm personally looking forward to the modules being stocked on LCSC, no idea when though.

I didn't expect to see that for a while yet. Not the usual Espressif announce and wait a year+ pattern.

Love to see more RISC-V in the wild

The 1GB bandwidth is interesting. It also has Simd instructions too.
Could this theoretically be used as a router or wireguard vpn instance?

Theoretically, yeah. Though at 320Mhz, with only 2.4ghz wireless, even with two cores, I doubt it's going to get anywhere near the throughput to fill the gigabit connection.

Yeah, I’m not entirely sure what use cases there are which include both an ESP32 and gigabit networking.
