Well, hope no one tries to deploy overlocked Raspberry Pi hardware in production... especially for kiosk style applications where they're in a metal box in the sun. They're unstable enough at stock if taken outside an air conditioned room.

This is about the Raspberry Pi Pico 2 (based on the RP2350), not the original Raspberry Pi.

  And is it better with bad cooling?

    It's better with absolutely no cooling. It doesn't even consume (and thus dissipate) 100mW flat-out.

      Maybe they should have branded it differently …

        They did, it's the Raspberry Pi Pico (as opposed to the Raspberry Pi) as a dev board or the RP2350 (as opposed to the BCMXXXX) as a chip.

        Seriously. Different. Eh.

    Yes.

The post is about a microcontroller that sips a fraction of a Watt under sane conditions. Cooling its CPU cores is not a problem for real-world applications. You have to bypass the internal voltage regulator crank up the voltage even more before heat becomes an issue.
