CTOnews.com, November 13 (Xinhua)-- the raspberry pie Raspberry Pi 4 and its sister models are suffering from serious capacity shortages due to chip shortages. Even if the price increases are still in short supply, the raspberry pie development foundation is helpless, and now officials have plans to change this situation.

Raspberry pie CEO Eben Upton said in an interview with Micro Center that the high price is not conducive to the promotion of raspberry pie, so they will soon launch a number of upgrades. He predicts that the full launch of the new Raspberry Pi in 12 months should be much better than it is now.

Creative developers often like to use full-featured, affordable raspberry pie products, but they have been complaining about the high price and shortage of the popular single board computer for more than two years. To date, even the smallest 1GB configuration Raspberry Pi 4 sells for more than $100 on Amazon, but thanks to the slow recovery of the supply chain, this pretty bad situation can finally come to an end.

He hinted that the new Raspberry Pi product would have stronger processing power, better graphics and better machine learning ability, but he did not equate these words with Raspberry Pi 5.

Foreign media believe that, according to him, the function and direction of this new product remain unchanged, that is, it is a simple alternative product that may be replaced with a cheaper chip, thus pulling down the price.

CTOnews.com learned that Raspberry Pi (RPi, alias RasPi / raspberry pie) is designed for computer programming education, is only the size of a credit card microcomputer, and its system is based on Linux. With the release of Windows 10 IoT, users can use raspberry pie running Windows.
