Raspberry Pi flagship 500+ model now costs almost as much as a Mac Mini — firm Pi launches 3GB model to fight increasing DRAM prices
What happened
Raspberry Pi announced significant price increases across its product line, with the flagship 500+ model rising by $150 to $410, driven by ongoing DRAM shortages. The company introduced a new 3GB Pi 4 model at $83.75 as a strategic response to high memory costs. Bullish: Direct, quantifiable price increases for DRAM-intensive consumer electronics signal sustained supply pressure and upward price momentum for memory components.
