Which ESP32 board is the ESP-WROOM-32?

By following the manufacturer link in that list, e.g. https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-dev-kits/en/latest/esp32s3/esp32-s3-devkitc-1/index.html

I’m going to have to do more learning. I can’t seem to connect the dots of how you are able to figure out that if the physical writing on the board is “ESP-WROOM-32” then you know it’s ESP332-S3-DevKitC-1 vs say DevKitC V4, etc.

Thank you for your help.

For sure it’s not Esp32-S3, S3 is different chip.

For Wroom32 you can always start with:
board: esp32dev
if you don’t find matching choice for your specific board.

I want to keep up with the changes.
Now that ‘variant’ is the way forward compared to ‘board’, what does ‘board: esp32dev’ becomes when using ‘variant’? Is just ‘variant: esp32’ enough for all capabilities/38pins of the ‘ESP-WROOM-32’ devboards?

Yes it is.
