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.

Raspberry Pi isn’t the only computing hardware provider feeling the pinch, with CyberPowerPC and Maingear having also addressed how the skyrocketing price of RAM is impacting their business, with price increases either already in place or expected in the future. The limited supply and high demand for RAM has led to some stores selling it at market prices, just as the out-of-control GPU prices from earlier this year had finally started to settle down.
