What happened
Raspberry Pi CEO Eben Upton announced a $12.50 price increase for the 2 GB variants of both the Raspberry Pi 4 and Raspberry Pi 5 in a blog post dated .S1 The 2 GB Raspberry Pi 4 now costs $67.50, and the 2 GB Raspberry Pi 5 now costs $77.50.S1
Earlier, in , Raspberry Pi had held the 1 GB and 2 GB pricing flat while raising costs on higher-density models; according to Upton, that approach has now become unsustainable.S1 Prices for the 1 GB variants of both boards, and for the 2 GB Compute Module 4 and Compute Module 5, remain unchanged for now.S1
Upton pointed users to older boards such as the Pi 3B, 3A+, and 3B+ as possible alternatives given current pricing.S1 On , Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra said on the company's fiscal Q4 2026 earnings call that memory and storage supply is expected to be tighter in 2027 and 2028 than in 2026.S1 TrendForce research reported that conventional DRAM contract prices are tracking a 10-15% quarter-over-quarter rise as suppliers shift advanced-process capacity to server products.S1

Background timeline
- - Raspberry Pi held 1 GB and 2 GB pricing flat while raising higher-density SKUs. [S1]
- - Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra said memory and storage supply will be tighter in 2027 and 2028 than in 2026 on the fiscal Q4 2026 earnings call. [S1]
- - Raspberry Pi raises the 2 GB Pi 4 and 2 GB Pi 5 by $12.50; 1 GB boards and 2 GB Compute Modules unchanged. [S1]
XAIPART take
Technical impact
The hike targets the lowest-density SKUs, which means cost-sensitive designs based on 2 GB of LPDDR are the first to absorb upstream DRAM pressure. Density-for-price on the 2 GB Raspberry Pi 5 worsens against 4 GB and 8 GB parts, so BOM comparisons that previously favored the 2 GB SKU for lightweight workloads should be re-run. XAIPART analysis
Market impact
Holding 1 GB board prices and the 2 GB Compute Module 4 / Compute Module 5 lines signals that Raspberry Pi is protecting hobbyist, education, and industrial module sockets where ASP elasticity is lowest. Given the TrendForce figure of 10-15% QoQ DRAM contract growth cited by the source, allocation rather than sticker price is the more likely next variable on Raspberry Pi spot channels; lead-time impact was not disclosed. XAIPART analysis
Action
Procurement teams should pull quotes on the 2 GB Raspberry Pi 5 (RPI5-2GB) and 2 GB Raspberry Pi 4 (RPI4-2GB) and re-quote any approved-vendor list entries built around those SKUs. For new designs, evaluate 4 GB and 8 GB SKUs as the new cost baseline, and qualify the 2 GB Compute Module 4 (CM4-2GB) and 2 GB Compute Module 5 (CM5-2GB) as alternates if board footprint allows. XAIPART analysis
XAIPART Forecast
XAIPART expects that if TrendForce's reported 10-15% QoQ DRAM contract inflation persists, Raspberry Pi will lift the 1 GB Raspberry Pi 4 / Raspberry Pi 5 and the 2 GB Compute Module 4 / Compute Module 5 by a second round within the next 6 months, by ; this forecast is wrong if those SKUs remain at their current prices past that window. XAIPART analysis
Facts are as reported by the cited source. The design-in, sourcing and forward-looking statements above are XAIPART's analysis, not the source's claims. Lead-time impact, allocation posture, and forward DRAM contract direction beyond the cited TrendForce view were not disclosed by the source and remain unconfirmed.
