Raspberry Pi Lifts 16GB Pi 5 Price $80 to $385 as DRAM Shortages Persist

Summary
$385 is the new price for the 16GB Raspberry Pi 5, effective immediately, after Raspberry Pi imposed an $80 increase on its highest-memory board.
A lack of alternative 16GB DRAM supply, on top of broader component shortages and two years of rising memory costs, forced the latest selective price hike.
16GB Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 variants also rose by $40, while the company said it avoided a blanket increase and kept the 16GB Raspberry Pi 500+ unchanged.
Raspberry Pi urged customers to use lower-memory models or optimize applications, warned against inflated reseller pricing, and said it expects to roll back increases when memory costs ease.
