  "textContent": "Desperate times call for desperate measures. Raspberry Pi has decided to introduce a dual RAM variant of the Raspberry Pi 4 to allow DRAM supply chain flexibility along with manufacturing process improvement using intrusive reflow soldering. As you may remember, Raspberry Pi first increased the price of most Raspberry Pi 4/5 boards last December while launching the Raspberry Pi 5 1GB RAM to offer a $45 option. At the end of last month, we noted broad market price adjustments due to not only RAM prices, but also storage devices, SoCs, and other components. A few days ago, Raspberry Pi had to further increase the price of the Raspberry Pi 4/5 for the 2GB to 16GB RAM models as follows: 1GB – unchanged 2GB – +$10 4GB – +$15 8GB – +$30 16GB – +$60 It’s not out of the realm of possibility that we may end up in a situation where [...]\n\nThe post Raspberry Pi 4 dual RAM variant introduced to mitigate RAM price increases and supply challenges appeared first on CNX Software - Embedded Systems News.",
