Raspberry Pi prices surge up to 23% amid memory shortages

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Raspberry Pi has implemented a third price increase this year, with some models seeing a jump of up to 23%. This hike is attributed to escalating costs of LPDDR4 and LPDDR5 memory components, which are experiencing shortages due to steady global demand and insufficient supply. The 2GB versions of the Raspberry Pi 4 and Raspberry Pi 5, which were previously unaffected, are now priced higher, with the Raspberry Pi 5 2GB increasing by 19% to $77.50 and the Raspberry Pi 4 2GB rising by 23% to $67.50.
