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.

How long will it stay $5. Taking bets now.

It might just become unobtanium like the pi zero was til they jacked up the price and dropped the no wifi version.

Added: it still has to compete with the ESP32 so maybe there isn't that much price headroom, and maybe the ESP32 is why they had to refresh the Pico in the first place.
