Higher memory costs reach Raspberry Pi's 2GB boards

Tom's Hardware reports new prices for the 2GB Raspberry Pi 4 and Raspberry Pi 5, attributing the adjustments to rising memory costs. The Pi 5 version moves from $65 to $77.50, while the Pi 4 moves from $55 to $67.50. Those changes amount to roughly 19% and 23%, respectively. The article links the pressure to shortages of LPDDR4 and LPDDR5. This is a concrete example of reported memory-cost pressure reaching finished devices, although board prices alone cannot quantify the underlying DRAM price increase.
