Pros
- Hardware FPU and 520 KB of RAM
- Pin-compatible with the original Pico
- Extra PIO and DMA, plus TrustZone security
Cons
- Still no radio
- Only 3 ADC inputs
- Newer — some libraries lag behind
Best use cases
- 01Everything the Pico does, but faster
- 02DSP, audio and motor control
- 03Secure-boot projects
- 04Retro-computing and emulation
