CTOnews.com December 21, Raspberry Pi CEO Eben Upton said in a recent interview that next year will be a year for Raspberry Pi and the industry to recover from the supply chain problems of the past two years, and there will be no raspberry pie 5 next year.

Due to the shortage of chips, the raspberry pie Raspberry Pi 4 has suffered a serious capacity shortage, even if the price increases are still in short supply, which makes the raspberry pie development foundation very helpless. In an interview with ExplainingComputers, Eben Upton said it was ready to reserve hundreds of thousands of devices for retail customers in 18 months of "limited supply". He points out that the companies that mainly take up the existing supply of raspberry pie equipment are not big companies, but "husband and wife stores", which produce hardware products based on the raspberry pie platform and buy hundreds of raspberry pies to meet demand.

"Don't expect Pi 5 next year. Next year is a year of recovery, "Upton said." on the one hand, we have to slow down because of the supply chain. On the other hand, it slows everything down. So I think it's good to spend a year before we think about launching anything. It takes a year to recover from what just happened to all of us. "

Upton said it would be "a disaster" if the raspberry pie 5 supply failed to meet demand or engulfed the capacity of other raspberry pie devices.

CTOnews.com learned that Raspberry Pi, known as raspberry pie in Chinese, is a miniature single board computer designed by engineers and computer scientists at the University of Cambridge to promote basic computer science education in the school with low-cost hardware and free software. It has grown into a computer behemoth in the 10 years since its release on February 28, 2012, with raspberry pie celebrating its 10th anniversary on February 28, 2022.
