STM8S003 vs ES7P003

[RhSilicon]

Hello,

​

W1209 W1219 W3230 boards and several others of Chinese origin are usually equipped with STM8S003. But I got a board with ES7P003FGTF.

​

It looks like a PIC inside the body of an STM8. Programming system uses Data and Clock, and no capacitor pin for filter.

Is there any advantage of STM8S003 over ES7P003?
