It has only one core and that core is clocked at half the speeds compared to both the RP2040 cores. And it cost six bucks from US distributors. I can buy a single RP2040 chip from Digikey for 70 cents. Even if you add another dollar for flash memory, you are still far better off.

I mean, that's sort of my point: the rp2040 has an absurd amount of RAM for a micro, I don't need it and don't want to pay for it.

I care more about the cost to manufacture boards with the part, than the cost to get sample parts mailed to me in the US :)
