Raspberry Pi Announces Price Increases Due To Rising Memory Demand

([Raspberry Pi] 4 Hours Ago Raspberry Pi Price Increase)


Due to rising demand around system memory being pushed up in large part by HBM for AI applications, Raspberry Pi announced price increases on select products to help offset the rising LPDDR costs.

Raspberry Pi reached a point with rising DDR pricing where they now need to pass on some of the increased costs to customers. The Compute Module 4 and Compute Module 5 with 4GB of RAM will see their price increase by $5 while the 8GB versions will see price increases of $10.

Raspberry Pi 500 units will increase by $10 to $100 to handle the increased memory prices. The Raspberry Pi Development Kit for CM5 will see its price go up by $5 to a total of $135. The Raspberry Pi 3B+ will also see a $5 increase to $40.

More details on these pricing changes via the [1]Raspberry Pi blog .

Alan Cox Releases Quantum Kernel
Submitted by Dave Finton

A surprising development in the linux-kernel mailing list surfaced when
Alan Cox announced the release of a 2.2 Linux kernel existing both as an
official stable kernel and as a prepatch kernel. This immediately spurred
the creation of two different realities (and hence two different Alan
Coxes), where a kernel would not settle down to one or the other state
until someone looked at it.

"I think this resulted from the large number of 'final' prepatch kernels
prior to the 2.2.14 release," said David Miller, kernel networking guru
and gas station attendent (he'll settle down to one or the other state
when someone looks at him).

When word of this development spread to Microsoft, Bill Gates was
extremely delighted. The Redmond, WA campus has been plagued with quantum
fluctuations ever since the inception of Windows 2000 back in 1992. "Our
release date has been existing in infinitely many states since the very
beginning," said a Microsoft spokesperson. "This just shows the Linux
operating system cannot scale to multiple realities as well as our OS."
