"Raspberry Pi is increasing the price of several single-board computers in an attempt to offset soaring memory costs. The updates are being applied immediately and affect Raspberry Pi 4 and Raspberry Pi 5, with prices increasing by $5 to $25 depending on the model and amount of RAM. The 16GB memory variants of the Compute Module 5 are also being raised by $20, now starting at $140."
""The current pressure on memory prices, driven by competition from the AI infrastructure roll-out, is painful but ultimately temporary," Raspberry Pi CEO Eben Upton said in the announcement. "We remain committed to driving down the cost of computing and look forward to unwinding these price increases once it abates." An affordable new 1GB variant of Raspberry Pi's flagship 5 model is also being introduced for $45, which includes a quad-core 2.4GHz Arm Cortex-A76 processor, dual-band Wi-Fi, and a PCI Express port."

Other hardware makers such as CyberPowerPC and Maingear are also raising or expecting to raise prices due to limited RAM supply and high demand, with some stores selling RAM at market prices as GPU prices begin to settle.
