Raspberry Pi hikes prices, citing AI-driven surge in memory costs

Raspberry Pi increased prices for its single-board computers by $11.25 to $150 on select models.

LPDDR4 DRAM costs rose seven-fold due to surging demand from the AI sector.

The company launched a new Raspberry Pi 4 model with 3GB of RAM for $83.75.

This variant fills a gap between existing models to reduce unnecessary memory costs for users.

Prices for 1GB and 2GB variants of the Pi 4 and Pi 5 remain unchanged.
