Fries to the RP2040's Double Cheeseburger and can have one or more RISC-V burgers instead of either of the M33 ARMs, to stretch the metaphor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the modern M33 ARM cores, there are sides of: more PIO capability, a variety of low power states for sipping electrons, a whole security system and some sprinklings of specialist digital video circuits to offload DVI\/HDMI output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can expect a tasty boost in performance - our \"real world\" MicroPython tests are running up to 2x faster compared to RP2040, and floating point number crunching in C\/C++ is up to 20x faster. The extra on-chip RAM will make a big difference when performing memory intensive operations (such as working with higher resolution displays) and even more can be added thanks to external PSRAM support.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRP2350 comes in two flavours - A (standard) and B (all the pins). The B chip has a stonking 48 usable GPIO pins, including 8 ADCs and 24 PWMs, and features on some of our new products. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en-eu\/collections\/rp2350\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eClick here to view all things RP2350!\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pimoroni","offers":[{"title":"Board Only","offer_id":42092628246611,"sku":"PIM723","price":11.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"STARter Kit","offer_id":42092628279379,"sku":"PIM743","price":32.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0174\/1800\/files\/plasma-2350-oak-1.jpg?v=1723049768","url":"https:\/\/shop.pimoroni.com\/en-eu\/products\/plasma-2350","provider":"Pimoroni Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
