Raspberry Pi 5 to get price hike due to expensive RAM, new base model to offer just 1 GB of memory
SMRTR summary
Rising memory costs have forced the Raspberry Pi Foundation to increase prices across all Pi 4 and Pi 5 models, with the 2GB Pi 5 jumping from $50 to $55 and the top-tier 16GB model rising from $120 to $145. To maintain affordability, the company introduced a new $45 base model with just 1GB of RAM, though users must choose carefully since the memory cannot be upgraded later due to being soldered to the mainboard.
