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 rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"\/en-eu\/collections\/rp2350\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eClick here to view all things RP2350!\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pimoroni","offers":[{"title":"Presto Only","offer_id":54894104019323,"sku":"PIM725","price":68.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Starter Kit","offer_id":54894104052091,"sku":"PIM765","price":97.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0174\/1800\/files\/presto-2.jpg?v=1738443675","url":"https:\/\/shop.pimoroni.com\/en-eu\/products\/presto","provider":"Pimoroni Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
