The ESP32 is a series of low-cost, low-power system on a chip microcontrollers with integrated Wi-Fi and dual-mode Bluetooth. The ESP32 series employs a Tensilica Xtensa LX6 microprocessor in both dual-core and single-core variations and includes in-built antenna switches, RF balun, power amplifier, low-noise receive amplifier, filters, and power-management modules. ESP32 is created and developed by Espressif Systems, a Shanghai-based Chinese company, and is manufactured by TSMC using their 40 nm process. It is a successor to the ESP8266 microcontroller.
Here are some of the features
CPU: Xtensa dual-core (or single-core) 32-bit LX6 microprocessor, operating at 160 or 240 MHz and performing at up to 600 DMIPS
Wireless connectivity:

ESP32 LIVE MINI KIT ESP32
The MH-ET LIVE MiniKit for ESP32 uses an ESP32-WROOM-32 module. It uses the same pinout as the Wemos Mini this means that all the shields for Wemos D1 mini for ESP8266 can also be used with the ESP32.
There are many different wemos shields which means you can stack them up and create examples without any breadboards and wires.
MH-ET LIVE MiniKit for ESP32 belongs to the class of general purpose boards where most ESP32 pins are broken out for easier access.
