The Announcement
In late 2025, Raspberry Pi announced price increases for some Raspberry Pi 4 and 5 products. The cost of LPDDR4 memory continued to rise through the end of 2025, with some parts more than doubling in price over the last quarter. This led to further price increases affecting all Raspberry Pi 4 and 5 boards with 2GB of RAM or more.
These price increases affect all distributors of Raspberry Pi products and are not unique to Vilros.
What's Driving the Increase
The increases were driven by a rise in the cost of LPDDR4 memory, ultimately caused by the AI infrastructure rollout demanding significant memory resources.
