He said the RP2040 ran Doom at 30-35 FPS, now it's at 50 FPS.

The blog post focused on 2 MB (Pico 1) and 8 MB (other boards) storage versions, with 8 MB being enough for Ultimate Doom and Doom II. Pico 2 doubled storage to 4 MB.

The RAM is almost doubled now, which makes it more comfortable for porting things. It might even be possible to optimize Doom for RP2350 and get it running at 60 FPS.

RP2040 is a cortex m0+ @ 133 MHz accredited of 0.9 Mips / MHz, a 486DX2 @ 100 is quoted at about 40 Mips, so every RP should be able to run Doom at any speed, also with poor optimizations.
