Does anyone mind explaining why the 2GB model only increased by 20% in price while the 16GB model nearly tripled in price?

- gbgarbeb 7mo agoThe 16GB model has eight times more ram?
- dghlsakjg 7mo agoThe main cost input is presumably ram. They are passing it through. If everything on the board but the ram costs $30, and ram is going from $10/gb to $20/gb, then they have to change the price $50 -> $70 to break even on the 2gb board, and $190 -> $350 for the 16gb board. In other words, the raspi is now priced like a stick of ram with a bonus computer attached because ram is massively more expensive than the rest of the computer.
