Raspberry Pi has announced a price reduction for its Compute Module 4 (CM4), dropping the price of the 8 GB model from $95 to $85 and the non-wireless 4 GB Lite variant from $50 to $45. Eben Upton stated that the change reflects ongoing trends in DRAM pricing and aligns with the company's pricing model. The reduction aims to enhance affordability for embedded applications, providing an alternative to the higher-cost Compute Module 5 while ensuring lower-density variants remain available to users. The price tweak is seen as beneficial for hobbyists and industries alike.
Raspberry Pi has reduced prices for its Compute Module 4 variants, aiming to adjust to long-term DRAM pricing trends and make embedded projects more cost-effective.
Eben Upton emphasized that the price drop brings the 4 GB and 8 GB variants of CM4 in line with modern pricing structures, offering better value for users.
Dave Lee highlighted the diverse embedded applications that CM4 can serve efficiently without the need for the advanced capabilities of the latest Compute Module 5.
Despite introducing lower prices for the higher-memory-density units, Raspberry Pi has no intention of discontinuing lower density variants, ensuring options for all users.
