The memory price surge has hit Raspberry Pi, which has introduced three price rises in four months.

The 16GB Pi 5 model gets a $100 hike, taking its retail price to $305. It originally cost $120, but a $25 hike in December took the cost up to $145. After a February increase, it was $205.

The 4GB models have gone up by $25, and the 8GB models have increased by $50.

Some older models, including the Raspberry Pi 1, 3, 3B+, and 3A+, aren’t affected.

“These products use older LPDDR2 DRAM, of which we currently hold substantial inventory,” says CEO Eben Upton.

Raspberry Pi introduced a new 3GB variant for the Pi 4 at $83.75.
