Buried in the hype, one little detail: Amazon's Alexa-on-a-chip could steal smart home market

No one here has heard of an ESP32?

It's a twin core, 32 bit micro-controller on a chip with built in RAM, flash ROM, WiFi and Bluetooth. It's cheap ($4 on a module or $2.80 for the chip alone) and can run the Alexa SDK. All Amazon need to do is produce their own native stack for it and the job's done.
