The RP2350 is an all-new microprocessor that packs quite some punch, featuring dual Arm Cortex-M33 cores running at 150 MHz and dual 32-bit RISC-V Hazard3 cores running at 150 MHz. As such, the RP2350 supports both Arm and RISC-V processor architectures.
This is backed up by 520 KB on-chip SRAM, and the chip is built with security in mind, making use of Arm TrustZone for Cortex-M.
As for the rest of the Pico 2, there’s 4MB of eMMC flash, a micro USB port for power and programming, and the same GPIO headers found in the original Pico.

Raspberry Pi Pico 2 is available as an individual unit, or as a bandoleer of 480 units. Longevity won’t be a problem: There’s a commitment to keep the model in production until at least January 2040, giving it a minimum life cycle of 16 years.
As for pricing, the Pico 2 comes in at $5 before taxes and shipping, which is one dollar more than the first-generation Raspberry Pi Pico.
