Raspberry Pi Adds Dual DRAM Support To Pi 4
6.2
Raspberry Pi has issued a product change notification adding a second DRAM site to the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B PCB to accept one or two DRAM modules. The change, announced to partners, uses intrusive reflow soldering and aims to mitigate rising DRAM prices driven by AI demand after two recent price hikes. New boards will appear at resellers soon without buyer selection.
Key Points
- 1Introduces dual-DRAM PCB revision for Raspberry Pi 4 Model B to accept one or two DRAM modules
- 2Responds to DRAM supply pressure and rising prices driven by AI demand and recent price increases
- 3Allows using two lower-capacity modules for equivalent RAM, giving procurement flexibility and cost mitigation
Scoring Rationale
Official Raspberry Pi PCB change addresses DRAM supply and cost, but it's an incremental hardware revision limited to Pi 4.
