Introducing Raspberry Pi Pico 2

We’re happy to announce the launch of Raspberry Pi Pico 2, our second-generation microcontroller board, built on RP2350: a new high-performance, secure microcontroller designed here at Raspberry Pi.

With a higher core clock speed, twice the memory, more powerful Arm cores, new security features, and upgraded interfacing capabilities, Pico 2 delivers a significant performance and feature uplift, while retaining hardware and software compatibility with earlier members of the Pico series.

Pico 2 is on sale now, priced at $5.

Holy crap, $5?

I've been looking to do a couple SBC projects recently, but I need/ want something more powerful, so this wouldn't be in my lane. I do love how cheap edge computing power is becoming, largely thanks to rPi. I'm not a fan of IoT, but I am a fan of sticking little, self-managed computers everywhere!
- Holy crap, $5?
  
  Only NOW, sold out everywhere😶
- The original pico was also $5
  
  That's crazy 🤯
- You should be aware that this is classified and marketed as a microcontroller, so it's just a bootloader to some code with no OS or a RTOS.
  
  Something like the RPi Zero is a SBC that's relatively close in size.
Have they fired that cop yet?
- What cop?
