A number of vendors seem to only be showing 4GB and 8GB units for $60 and $80, but https://vilros.com/collections/raspberry-pi-5/products/raspberry-pi-5 https://vilros.com/collections/raspberry-pi-5/products/raspb... has 1GB and 2GB variants for $40 and $50 respectively.
https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/raspberry-pi-5/ https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/raspberry-pi-5/ says "LPDDR4X-4267 SDRAM (4GB and 8GB SKUs available at launch)" so maybe the cheaper ones will be coming at a later date?
Unrelated to that, the addition of a power button seems like a significant improvement over previous models.
- rasz 3y agoCant wait for first 2 to 8 GB ram swap hack. Power button is nice, but implementation in custom PMIC once again means its unrepairable https://hackaday.com/2023/03/24/dead-raspberry-pi-boards-pmics-and-new-hope/ https://hackaday.com/2023/03/24/dead-raspberry-pi-boards-pmi...
- sixothree 3y agoHow cow! You can buy them?!
- nfriedly 3y agoNot yet, but you can pre-order them from some vendors. The 4 and 8gb models should ship in October. FWIW, the Pi 4 and Pi Zero W are both fairly available these days. The Zero 2 W is still in short supply, but aside from that, the shortage is basically over.
- foresto 3y agoYou can see 1GB and 2GB jumpers in the photos, so it seems reasonable to expect these models to show up eventually.
- rldjbpin 3y agowhile i was personally working with 512 mb with my rpi all this time, i wonder if there is a point to having only 1/2 gb with the new soc. even if you run the sbc headless and never touch the gpu, you risk starving the threads for things where it would be an upgrade over the previous models.
