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.

    After mulling this I think they should have switched, since the original Pico will stay in production, and people can keep using it if they want a literal drop-in replacement. I wonder what the constituency was for staying with micro USB, i.e. that had existing designs that used the Pico but taxed its capabilities.
