Basically more everything. 2x Cortex M33 cores with floating point, 520KB ram, more PIOs, bunch of secure boot stuff (I have mixed feelings about this), and can boot to a mode with risc-v cores instead of the M33s.
MicroUSB is absolutely one of the worst connectors ever designed, perhaps only surpassed by the SCART connector.
What was wrong with SCART? only thing I can think of is its bulkiness.
They broke all the time and you had to wiggle them often because of shoddy connectivity.
I don’t remember much problem with the connectivity with SCART. I do remember wasting many hours dealing with cheaply made cables that didn’t even wire all the pins however.
Which come to think of it is now becoming an issue with USB-C cables. At least with SCART the connector could be easily opened for inspection, which became a habit of many an AV tech.
Never broke any. It was a pain to plug in blindly in the back of the TV tho.
