"After boosting prices in December due to rising memory costs, Raspberry Pi has moved to do so again as LPDDR4 memory prices continue to climb, driven by competition for manufacturing capacity from the AI infrastructure roll-out. The increases apply to most hardware built on its Raspberry Pi 4 and 5 platforms, including the CM4 and CM5 compute modules and the Raspberry Pi 500 and Raspberry Pi 500+ keyboard PCs."
"Any product with 2 GB of RAM will see a $10 price increase. Models with 4 GB will go up by $15, those with 8 GB will rise by $30, and top-of-the-line 16 GB units will jump by $60. So, the Raspberry Pi 5 (2 GB) will now carry a list price of $65, the Pi 5 (4 GB) will be priced at $85, the Pi 5 (8 GB) will go for $125, and the Pi 5 (16 GB) will now be $205."
Raspberry Pi increased prices across most Raspberry Pi 4 and 5 hardware, including CM4 and CM5 compute modules and the Raspberry Pi 500 and 500+ keyboard PCs. Price hikes are $10 for 2 GB models, $15 for 4 GB, $30 for 8 GB, and $60 for 16 GB. New list prices include Pi 5 at $65 (2 GB), $85 (4 GB), $125 (8 GB), and $205 (16 GB); Pi 4 models now list at $55 (2 GB), $75 (4 GB), and $115 (8 GB). Base 1 GB Pi 4 and Pi 5 models, Raspberry Pi Zero, Pi 3, and the Pi 400 remain at current prices. Rising LPDDR4 memory costs driven by datacenter and AI infrastructure demand and memory-makers prioritizing HBM sales to hyperscalers are cited as the cause.
