Dram It! Raspberry Pi Raises Prices

The 16GB type of nan Raspberry Pi 5 (pictured) has jumped from $120 to $145.

Raspberry Pi is expanding nan value of respective single-board computers successful an effort to offset soaring representation costs. The updates are being applied instantly and impact Raspberry Pi 4 and Raspberry Pi 5, pinch prices expanding by $5 to $25 depending connected nan exemplary and magnitude of RAM. The 16GB representation variants of nan Compute Module 5 are besides being raised by $20, now starting astatine $140.

“The existent unit connected representation prices, driven by title from nan AI infrastructure roll-out, is achy but yet temporary,” Raspberry Pi CEO Eben Upton said successful nan announcement. “We stay committed to driving down nan costs of computing and look guardant to unwinding these value increases erstwhile it abates.”

An affordable caller 1GB version of Raspberry Pi’s flagship 5 exemplary is besides being introduced for $45, which includes a quad-core 2.4GHz Arm Cortex-A76 processor, dual-band Wi-Fi, and a PCI Express port.

Raspberry Pi isn’t nan only computing hardware supplier emotion nan pinch, pinch CyberPowerPC and Maingear having besides addressed really nan skyrocketing value of RAM is impacting their business, pinch value increases either already successful spot aliases expected successful nan future. The constricted proviso and precocious request for RAM has led to immoderate stores selling it astatine marketplace prices, conscionable arsenic nan out-of-control GPU prices from earlier this twelvemonth had yet started to settee down.
