Typical values. Sleep current is approximate; whole-board numbers are higher than the bare chip's datasheet figure.

Pros

  • Faster cores with FPU and double the RAM
  • Wi-Fi + Bluetooth on the familiar Pico pinout
  • Backwards-friendly with Pico W code

Cons

  • Wi-Fi is still 2.4 GHz 802.11n only
  • Sleep current remains well above ESP32 / nRF
  • Costs more than the Pico W

Best use cases

  • 01Wi-Fi projects that outgrew the Pico W
  • 02Audio streaming and DSP
  • 03Web-connected displays
  • 04Wireless robotics
