The Raspberry Pi Pico is the first product built on silicon designed in-house at Raspberry Pi (“Raspberry Silicon”). At its heart is RP2040, a Raspberry Pi-designed chip, which features two ARM Cortex-M0+cores clocked at 133MHz; 256KB RAM; 30 GPIO pins; and a broad range of interfacing options. This is paired with 2MB of on-board QSPI Flash memory for code and data storage.

A a solder-in header (like two sets of Break Away Header - Straight 40-Pin, cut into 2x20 strips and 1x3 strip) Once the header pins are in place, the Pico can be attached directly to a breadboard for wiring and prototyping.
