There's something I don't get about the RP2040's design. I'd rather have a single "advanced" fast core (like Cortex-M4) than two lowly slow cores. Programming for two cores makes things way more complicated, and the RP2040's Cortex-M0s don't even have atomic int operations to help. Are the transistor count & die space savings really that important?

- speed_spread 5y agoAh! That explains it, thanks. RISC-V FTW!
