When will nRF52 throughput be same as nRF51 or better

[Chris Barratt]

We are planning to use nRF52 for its superior computing power in an application. Unfortunately it appears that the throughput is more limited than on nRF51. Since we need to down load data this is a severe handicap.

Is there a planned solution and if so when and what?

You can use the Softdevice S130-SD-v2 of the nRF51 or the S132-SD-v2 for the nRF52. Both of them allow you to configurable the BLE bandwidth.

The BLE throughput is the same for the nRF51 or 52, but you will consume about 50% power less with the nRF52 when transmitting data. And of course the computing power of the M4 is much higher than the M0.

I guess Chris is complaining about S110 V6-8 vs. S132 V2 (which is of course equal to S130 V2). Are they able to achieve the same number of MTUs (is it 6 or 8?) at connection interval of 7.5ms - of course in GAP Peripheral mode?
