Overview
- Raspberry Pi announced on Monday that it has raised the price of the 16GB Raspberry Pi 5 by $80 to $385 and increased 16GB Compute Module 5 variants by $40.
- The company said it kept prices stable for the 16GB Raspberry Pi 500+ and avoided blanket hikes across its product line.
- Raspberry Pi attributes the moves to a lack of alternative 16GB DRAM supply and other ongoing component shortages that have pushed memory costs higher.
- The company advised customers to consider lower‑density models, earlier Raspberry Pi versions, or software memory optimisations and directed businesses to industry@raspberrypi.com for help.
- Raspberry Pi warned buyers about opportunistic resellers selling at inflated prices, urged purchases only from its Approved Reseller network, and said the increases are temporary pending lower memory prices.
