RaspberryPi Pico is in deep-yogurt then... (or pick any device, not just to pick on Pico...)

Pick any device that has multiple cores and multiple or segmented memory -- that patent (in the description provided above) is vague enough to apply to them all. However, a further read of the patent adds additional details for the scheme used at ordering the processing of the data -- that seems to be where the argument lay for VLSI and Intel. (the idea that NPE's actually suffer harm, or the corrupting design of patent aggregators -- is a whole different issue that needs to be addressed)

How far we have come (fallen) from the original 17 year grant of exclusivity to the "inventor" to market his invention....
