Raspberry Pi raises prices on 2GB models as RAM costs climb
Original: 🐧 Raspberry Pi 4 and Raspberry Pi 5 2GB get price increases due to RAM demand The RAM crisis continues to deepen thanks
Raspberry Pi has increased the price of its 2GB variants of the Raspberry Pi 4 and Raspberry Pi 5, citing rising memory costs. The move comes amid a continuing RAM shortage driven by massive hardware purchases from data centres, mostly tied to AI infrastructure buildout. It is not the first time the company has adjusted prices in response to memory market pressure, and buyers are expressing frustration that hobbyist hardware is being caught up in the AI-driven component squeeze.
Why now: The ongoing AI-driven RAM shortage is pushing up component prices, and hobbyists are reacting to Raspberry Pi's latest price rise.
