PayPalWith RAM costs spiralling upwards right now, we're going to see increases to the pricing of lots of hardware - and now it's hit Raspberry Pi.
Announced in a blog post from the Raspberry Pi team, to help soften the blow a new 1GB Raspberry Pi 5 was revealed at $45 / ~£43.20. For the prices that are increasing here's what they sent along:
| Product | Density | Old price | New price |
| Raspberry Pi 4 | 4GB | $55 | $60 |
| Raspberry Pi 4 | 8GB | $75 | $85 |
| Raspberry Pi 5 | 1GB | – | $45 |
| Raspberry Pi 5 | 2GB | $50 | $55 |
| Raspberry Pi 5 | 4GB | $60 | $70 |
| Raspberry Pi 5 | 8GB | $80 | $95 |
| Raspberry Pi 5 | 16GB | $120 | $145 |
They said the 16GB variant of the Compute Module 5 has also gone up by $20. However older lower-density Raspberry Pi models remain unchanged.
Right now the hardware industry just sucks for consumers in terms of pricing. A lot of it thanks to many companies increasing their AI workloads, sucking up all the hardware availability. You've likely seen some reports elsewhere on how 64GB of RAM is often now more expensive than an entire PlayStation 5. I checked that today and - yep, insanity. Lots of RAM completely out of stock, lots of them suggesting delivery would be in multiple months time.

Anyways, I'm very happy I bought the RAM when I did. In half a year I expect 32GB of DDR5 will be a thousand euros/dollars or more.
I hope GPUs aren't next on the list...

You know they will be. I feel akin to "Old man yells at clouds" but it really does seem like business has encroached all playtime. Third spaces should refer to public locations, not our ability to own entertaining things!
