To test the performance of the the rp2350, the top half of the Mandelbrot Set is computed in s4x28 fixed point, and the bottom in floating point. Fixed is 5 times faster than rp2040. Float is 35 times faster. Inspection of the assembly output from GCC shows that the inner iteration loop variables fit completely within the floating registers.
