Virtually 200 bloody quid for a 16GB #raspberrypi now. Tell ya what, if someone wanted to price RP out of business, they couldn't do a better job! Sad times 😞

More memory-driven price rises - Raspberry Pi

Memory-driven price rises for Raspberry Pi 4 and 5, and Compute Module 4 and 5, products; 1GB variants, and Raspberry Pi 400, are unaffected.

@recantha I do wonder what the use case is for 16g. I got one about a year ago but I was disappointed by the performance when I tried to build a desktop around it. It's now my NFS server and it is excellent at that but I have at least 12g more than I need for that.

@paulb @recantha I got the 16GB pi 5 to play with AI models, many of which are 8GB on their own. Only to test feasibility, performance is obviously magnitudes slower than a PC GPU. Still, fast enought for an LLM response in seconds, not minutes.
