With the release of Betaflight 3.2 around the corner there is an increased interest in the F7 - the new generation of flight controller on the market. We break down some of the F7's features and compare it to the F1, F3 and F4. It is important to note that we will discuss what is typically included with a F7 flight controller. Flight controller features can vary with different manufacturers.

Processor Speed

The processor is essentially the "brains" of your quadcopter. It receives commands and provides instruction to control the motors. Without these commands, the quadcopter would not stay up in the air and keep flying. The faster the processor speed the faster your quadcopter will respond to input received. Although there are a variety of factors that contribute to the response time, the increased mHz on the F7 is a good start.
