Do you mind ratting out your source that told you what camera specs we will use :P?
I’m not sure what makes you think that the camera is going to be “so-so”, considering that we haven’t published the specs yet. Perhaps you mean that we’re not going to immediately provide advanced processing software? ML would be advanced processing software to compensate for the missing advanced processing software, so you surely don’t mean that.
This only matters if you want to save the entire captured data, and only when that exceeds the size of available RAM. I don’t think you should worry about it when your goal is to merge 5 pictures into one.
As Caliga said, CPU speed has nothing to do with the capability to process images; slower CPUs take more time, and the raw data can be stored to process at a later time anyway.
