Two months ago, we announced increases to the prices of some Raspberry Pi 4 and 5 products. These were driven by an unprecedented rise in the cost of LPDDR4 memory, thanks to competition for memory fab capacity from the AI infrastructure roll-out.



Price rises have accelerated as we enter 2026, and the cost of some parts has more than doubled over the last quarter. 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.

Raspberry Pi 500 and 500+ are affected, but not Raspberry Pi 400, which remains our lowest-cost all-in-one PC at $60. We have also been able to protect the pricing of 1GB products, including the $35 1GB Raspberry Pi 4 variant, and the $45 1GB Raspberry Pi 5 variant that we launched in December.

We don’t anticipate any changes to the price of Raspberry Pi Zero, Raspberry Pi 3, and other older products, as we currently hold several years’ inventory of the LPDDR2 memory that they use.
Looking ahead
2026 looks likely to be another challenging year for memory pricing, but we are working hard to limit the impact. We’ve said it before, but we’ll say it again: the current situation is ultimately a temporary one, and we look forward to unwinding these price increases once it abates.
