The most expensive Pi yet - 'unprecedented rise' in RAM pushes Raspberry Pi prices to their highest level ever, pushing it out of reach of schools and kids

• LPDDR4 price spikes ripple straight into Raspberry Pi retail tags everywhere
• Higher memory densities now dictate who can afford modern Raspberry Pi boards
• Entry-level Raspberry Pi models survive while mid- and high-end options take the hit

Raspberry Pi hardware prices have risen again following an earlier adjustment made only weeks before, with the changes tied directly to escalating LPDDR4 memory costs.

The company links the increases to competition for fabrication capacity, as large-scale AI infrastructure continues to absorb a growing share of global memory production.

According to statements accompanying the changes, the cost of some memory components has more than doubled within a single quarter, creating pressure across most current Raspberry Pi platforms.
