"The increases have hit much of the Pi 4 and 5 range. The flagship Pi 500+ has increased by $150, and even the humble 1 GB Compute Module 4 and 4S is up by $11.25."
"Upton noted: 'These products use older LPDDR2 DRAM, of which we currently hold substantial inventory.'"
"'2026 looks likely to be another challenging year for memory pricing, but we are working hard to limit the impact.'"
"'The current situation is ultimately a temporary one, and we look forward to unwinding these price increases once it abates.'"
Raspberry Pi has launched a 3 GB variant of the Pi 4 as memory costs continue to rise. Prices for various models, including the flagship Pi 500+, have increased significantly. The 16 GB Raspberry Pi 5 has seen a $100 price hike, while other models have also experienced price increases. Despite these hikes, the company has maintained prices for some older products. The CEO noted ongoing engineering efforts to expand memory options and acknowledged the challenging memory pricing landscape ahead.
