The 16GB Raspberry Pi 5 got another ‘unavoidable’ RAM price hike

The Raspberry Pi 5 with 16GB of RAM has seen a price hike of $80, from $120 to $385, due to ongoing RAM shortages. The 16GB version of the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 also saw a price hike of $40. This is the latest in a series of price increases driven by a lack of alternative supply for 16GB DRAM and shortages of other components. The 2GB version of the Raspberry Pi 5 saw a price hike last month. The company expects to reverse the price hikes when memory costs fall again.
