| Raspberry Pi 5 16 GB | Compute Module 5 16 GB | |
|---|---|---|
| price | $385 | |
| increase | $80 | $40 |
| RAM | 16 GB | 16 GB |
| effective date | 2 November 2026 | 2 November 2026 |
The 16 GB Compute Module 5 also goes up, by $40, with final prices varying by WLAN and storage options.
The Pi 500+ holds its price despite carrying the same 16 GB of RAM. The pressure lands on the bare board, not the integrated desktop.
Raspberry Pi names no supplier, no fab, no allocation figure. The notice cites a lack of alternative suppliers for 16 GB DRAM alongside shortages in other components.
The company calls the situation temporary and says it will reverse the increases when memory prices fall. No quarter, no trigger metric, no floor price appears in the notice.
Reordered the lede to lead with the cumulative 220 percent figure rather than the flat $80 step, removed the duplicated 'no supplier, no fab' paragraph, and let the Pi 500+ contrast do the structural work in the middle instead of restating it at the close.
