It's a core based on an existing design, but taken in-house and optimized and partially re-written. Details of the core will make it to the technical reference manual, when available. I can tell you that it's a pretty much vanilla RV32IMC core (iirc, could be we also support A); is there anything more you'd like to know?

Has anything leaked about the C2 and S4? I had thought I had seen something about the C2, but now I can't find it. Prob got confused in all this nomenclature!

yes, will it be possible to do dual way rmt on one pin ? :) i have several posts asking such question since several months now for classical esp32 modules and still no answer yet. Main use is to be able to do dual way dshoot messaging for controling brushless motors via their ESC.

Can't tell, sorry... tbh even if I knew the details about the RMT, I have no idea what 'dual way rmt' would mean.

easy: sending rmt message, and receiving rmt message, from the same pin.
Currently, all accessible code is either only receiving nor sending, but not both in the same time.

dshot is a pwm protocol, which implement dual way. when the "master" send a dshot data frame, the last bit request for a telemetry answer from the "slave" (ESC). latest esc firmware such as bheli32 are able to answer using the same cable.
Which means that the rmt pin should be used either for sending data frame or receiving telemetry frame from the esc. using only one pin.

I can already control motor using dshot, with esp32 but's only in way direction. i never find a way to use the same pin and configure rmt to switch from sending to receiving

Any power consumption numbers? similar to ESP32 or are we going to be surprised?

Any chance that the ESP32-S3 or S4 will have more than one TWAI controller? :)

Any new about which riscv core is it ? Who is the factory for this and where are the datasheet for it ?

The ESP32-C3 chip has some minor issues that it is need to iron out, partly because of some silly mistakes. still the testing and sampling can go on, but they have had to do some FIBs (focus ion beam to connect a couple of erroneous routing), resulting in very very limited number of samples.

i calc with mid februar with the new silicon on the desk.

any news available, i update this post.

edit: the (the one temporarily removed USB from the datasheet) is available in the Revision Silicon "again" -
The truth is they made a small mistake in the USB but they are fixing it in Jan. so the silicon after Feb will have USB

No - from my (S3) desk - only one.

All right, i see Mouser updated their catalog.
But this no info about what riscV core is it and who is the factory maker of this chip.

Who is online
