There’s a nice chart in the article showing percentage increases. They’re proportional to the amount of RAM in the Pi.
That said, Raspberry Pi is not raising the prices for some entry level systems. Raspberry Pi 4 and Raspberry Pi 5 models with just 1GB of RAM will still cost $35 and $45 for the time being.
I just buy used computers on ebay at this point. I have lots of shit piling up but hey, I saved a little bit of money.
Ofc
Whew, by chance i bought 2 16gb pi5s to do some long-planned builds 3 days ago at the old price. Feeling very lucky right now.
I tried to find the price trend for lpddr4, but it's clear that even at launch prices, ram has been the largest single component cost, since the 16gb launched at $120 while the 2 gb launched at $50, so that extra ram was always a premium. The prices for all (except 1 gb skus) increase about $4 per GB of ram, thats tough.
