New Product
Announcement
Raspberry Pi (LSE: RPI), a leader in
low-cost, high-performance computing, announces the release of
Raspberry Pi Pico 2, and the RP2350 microcontroller
platform.
Launch of Raspberry Pi Pico
2 and RP2350
The Company is pleased to announce
the release of Raspberry Pi Pico 2, a single-board computer built
on RP2350, its new high-performance, secure microcontroller
platform. Raspberry Pi Pico 2 builds on the success of the
first-generation Raspberry Pi Pico products, which together have
shipped over 3.5 million units since launch in January 2021, and
delivers a significant performance and feature-set upgrade, while
retaining hardware and software compatibility.
Compared with the existing RP2040
microcontroller, RP2350 offers faster processors, more memory,
upgraded interfacing capabilities, and new security features. These
features are extensively documented and available to all users
without restriction, allowing professional customers to integrate
RP2350, and Raspberry Pi Pico 2, into their products with
confidence.
The launch of Raspberry Pi Pico 2,
and RP2350, supports the Company's strategy to grow volumes by
enhancing the performance and feature sets of its products, in the
Industrial and Embedded, Enthusiast and Education, and
Semiconductor markets.
Raspberry Pi CEO, Dr Eben
Upton commented: "We continue to make encouraging
progress across the business and Raspberry Pi Pico 2 and RP2350
embody our core values of performance, flexibility, and
affordability, and are an important next step in the evolution of
Raspberry Pi as a semiconductor vendor. We look forward to other
exciting product releases through the second half of 2024 and into
2025."

Notes to
Editor
Headquartered in Cambridge, UK,
Raspberry Pi's mission is to put high-performance, low-cost,
general-purpose computing platforms in the hands of enthusiasts and
engineers all over the world.
Raspberry Pi is a full-stack
engineering organisation, with research and development
capabilities spanning the entire value chain, from semiconductor IP
development, through semiconductor and electronic product design to
software engineering and regulatory compliance. The high
performance, low cost, and physical robustness of Raspberry Pi
products make them suitable for a wide range of applications,
across three distinct markets: Industrial and Embedded, Enthusiast
and Education, and Semiconductors.
The Company has distributed
approximately $50m since inception to support the work of the
Raspberry Pi Foundation, a UK charity founded in 2008 and a major
shareholder in Raspberry Pi, to enable young people to realise
their potential through computing. Raspberry Pi has been recognised
with the London Stock Exchange's Green Economy Mark for its work in
reducing the carbon intensity of embedded computing.
