I asked the same type of question last week but havent heard anything. These backlogs absorb Raspberry Pi units as fast as (or faster than!) Those sellers on Alibaba raise their price daily on us and its unbelievable. Is it time for the foundation to have its supply function that will enable the individual hobbyists to continue to support your aims by actually getting hold of the product ?

He writes about IT (cloud, IoT, 5G, VPN) and cybersecurity (ransomware, data breaches, laws and regulations). Also dropping a line here, we have orders for CM4s dating back from October, and November (Farnell). Data Protection laws explicitly stop us from tracking this stuff: as they should. when do you think the pi4 1GB would be available? So far we couldnt buy one single RPi 4 1GB for preparing the migration. "What's happened this year," he said, "is the industrial side of the business has grown. The foundation was created with a purpose and that purpose is being invalidated by the supply issues in respect of actually getting hold of even an individual Pi 4. I understand you cannot antecipate the supply chain, but do you have any info on production? New York, Hello, I suppose this also means that Pi2Bv1.2 boards will be pretty much non-existent until some time in 2023. for many years I would go to micro center and buy very affordable raspberry pi zeros , and raspberry pi 3a+ devices. Sign up to the TechRadar Pro newsletter to get all the top news, opinion, features and guidance your business needs to succeed! If were dreaming of products for 12 months time, to celebrate hopefully the end of scarcity, then what Id like is some new higher spec Pi Zeros (including one with a DSI port), and a Pi40 (the Pi400 motherboard in a plain stackable and rackable box, without the keyboard). go through authorized dealers. Thats odd; while there has been limited stock of 2GB this year, there has definitely been some, and Micro Centre has definitely been getting and selling that stock. Well done for clear comms on what is an unpalatable but wise set of decisions. Makes me wonder if most of the people asking for the commercial team. are just scalpers. Thanks for the update and transparency Eben, its greatly appreciated. The result has been a shortage of some products, notably Raspberry Pi Zero and the 2GB variant of Raspberry Pi 4. To be fair Eben did said this about older product using 40nm manufacturing process: These challenges will fall most heavily on our older products, built on 40nm silicon, While in the same blog post he said this about model using 28nm chips: we expect to have enough 28nm silicon over the next twelve months to support both our existing Raspberry Pi 4 and Compute Module 4 customers, and customers migrating from Raspberry Pi 3B+. While no one except the Raspberry people know how many transistors there are on a particular pi, there are estimates of around 270 million. Id like to see two models one with CSI for camera applications, and one with DSI for display uses. Hey all, I get that the Pi has become a go to hardware device for many manufacturers but it seems without more control, the hobbyists, schools, hackers will be frozen out from using your products due to the selling policies of the ARs. -Josh.

Thank you very much Eben Upton for these enlightening clarifications, I am expecting prices to return to what they were before, especially here in Brazil I was forced to reduce my projects with Raspberry Pi due to the high dollar against our local currency (R$ Real ). Thanks for your comment. Id love to do bulk orders! I think that needs to wait till availability of next process node to bring the power and thermal requirements down (I think the Pi4 is already a step too far in this respect, and Id love to see the design goals for future model to keep the power and thermal needs down lower than the Pi4). For instance, what if the Raspberry Pi 5 is a credit card size, room temperature, universal Quantum Computing technology that relies on completely different materials than what are currently being stressed?
