Every time a new model of computer or microcontroller comes out, there is the expectation of performance improvements. This video is about the simple, but very practical way, I compare new models to old models. This is about basic, simple raw performance that everyday users can appreciate. I put the Raspberry PI PICO W against the Raspberry PI PICO 2 W in a head to head challenge.
If you have any interest at all about computers and especially their history, you owe it to yourself to visit one of the Vintage Computer Festival shows. This gathering, organized by the Vintage Computer Federation, is an amazing event where you can buy and sell old computers, but more importantly, you can see and in many cases play with computers dating back to the 60s.
These enthusiasts exhibiting at the shows bring in all types of computers from mainframes to desktops and from many different manufacturers that have long since faded away. This video only serves to give you a sense of what you will see and I certainly hope you will have an opportunity to visit one of the shows.
