Following an initial price increase announced two months ago, Raspberry Pi is raising prices again for several of its single-board computers. “The cost of some parts has more than doubled over the last quarter,” Raspberry Pi CEO Eben Upton said in an announcement today. “As a result, we now need to make further increases to our own pricing, affecting all Raspberry Pi 4 and 5, and Compute Module 4 and 5, products that have 2GB or more of memory.”
In December, the Raspberry Pi 4 and Raspberry Pi 5 saw price increases from $5 to $25, depending on the amount of RAM included, while the 16GB version of the Compute Module 5 jumped by $20. Starting soon, prices will increase again by $10 for those same devices with 2GB of memory, by $15 for 4GB models, by $30 for 8GB variants, and by $60 for configurations with 16GB of RAM.
Today’s price increases don’t affect the price of the 1GB version of the Raspberry Pi 5 that launched two months ago, the 1GB Raspberry Pi 4 variant, or the Raspberry Pi 400 all-in-one PC. It also doesn’t affect the Raspberry Pi 3, Raspberry Pi Zero, or other older products, as Upton says the company holds “several years’ inventory of the LPDDR2 memory that they use.”
Looking ahead, Upton says “2026 looks likely to be another challenging year for memory pricing,” but believes “the current situation is ultimately a temporary one, and we look forward to unwinding these price increases once it abates.”
