Basically more everything. 2x Cortex M33 cores with floating point, 520KB ram, more PIOs, bunch of secure boot stuff (I have mixed feelings about this), and can boot to a mode with risc-v cores instead of the M33s.

Can someone fill me in on the intended usecases for something like this? If I wanted to make a personal cloud storage (nextcloud or similar) with a bunch of HDDs for example, would this be ok or underpowered to manage that?
The Pico is a microcontroller board more like an Arduino. it’d be great as the motherboard of a weather station or something.
These aren’t meant for complex things or even to install a full operating system kernel on or for moving data files. These are more for controlling electronics directly. Something you’d find inside a very specialized device like maybe controlling the speed of an air filter fan based on information from a few environmental sensors.
I run all of my DIY keyboard builds (here’s the latest) off of Pi Picos or clones with USB-C.
Yes, way too underpowered. This is for controlling your 3D printer or stuff like that.
I just posted a link to a review by someone who has been playing with it for a while and talks about a lot of use-cases: https://lemmy.ml/post/18938549
I think it’d be easier to use the normal raspberry pi instead in that case.
