Raspberry Pi price hikes

What happened

Raspberry Pi raised prices across multiple models, with the 16GB Pi 5 jumping $100 to $305, driven by memory cost surges. Older models using LPDDR2 remain unaffected due to existing inventory. This signals bullish pressure on DRAM pricing and potential inventory drawdown in the SBC sector.
