&lt;p&gt;Real time data compression is dependent on more than just which MCU you are using. The answer can change depending on many factors including&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Sampling rate&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Data type ex. (uint32 vs int32)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Signal type  ex. (audio vs EEG)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Desired compression percentage&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Importance of decompression vs compression efficiency&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;How much loss you can afford&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Because of the number of cases, it will be hard to expect a good answer here. Especially without specific application info. I would recommend starting some private research on the topic or finding a consultant to get you started.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
