Raspberry Pi Raises Prices On Memory-Rich Models
8.2
Raspberry Pi today announced its second price increase in two months, raising prices on all Raspberry Pi 4, 5, 500, 500+, and Compute Module 4/5 models with 2GB or more RAM. Increases range from $10 for 2GB models up to $60 for 16GB models, bringing the Pi 5 16GB from $120 to $205; Raspberry Pi blames soaring LPDDR4 memory costs driven by AI infrastructure demand. The pricing takes effect immediately.
Key Points
- 1Raise prices across Raspberry Pi 4/5/500 and Compute Modules with ≥2GB RAM by up to $60.
- 2Cite LPDDR4 memory shortages and surging AI infrastructure demand that doubled component costs last quarter.
- 3Impacts procurement and project budgets; practitioners should plan supply and cost contingencies for memory-heavy deployments.
Scoring Rationale
Official company price announcement with clear procurement impact, offset by limited novelty and company-specific scope.
