To counteract these rising costs, Raspberry Pi has neatly chosen to launch a brand new budget-friendly mannequin: the Raspberry Pi 5 with simply 1GB of reminiscence. This new 1GB model of the Raspberry Pi 5 prices $45 and is at the moment obtainable through CanaKit.
Nevertheless, if there’s a silver lining right here, it’s that these value will increase are solely momentary. The Raspberry Pi Basis writes that they plan to decrease them once more when the AI growth calms down.
