Raspberry Pi (LSE:RPI) has launched the Raspberry Pi (LSE:RPI) Pico 2, a single-board computer built on the new RP2350 microcontroller platform.
The Pico 2 is an upgrade from the first-generation Pico, which has seen over 3.5 million units shipped since its release in January 2021.
Raspberry Pi Pico 2 offers faster processors, increased memory, enhanced interfacing capabilities, and new security features, while maintaining hardware and software compatibility with previous versions.
Chief Executive Eben Upton stated: "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.”
Raspberry Pi completed a successful initial public offering on the London Stock Exchange in June, when it was valued at £541 million.
Since then its valuation has increased to £723 million.
