go through authorized dealers. It is out of stock here in europe for more than 6 month . Prior to working at PCMag, I was a foreign correspondent in Beijing for over five years, covering the tech scene in Asia. We are not able to get any Pis. Manufacturers were forced to produce less, partly due to shrinking demand, and partly due to having to re-arrange operations to maintain the health and safety of their workforce. Can somebody please contact us. Amazon.de sell Rasspberry Pi 4 B 4GB for staggering 159 . Sarcasm also isnt in my customer service background an attractive quality, yes I get you are frustrated, your customers are frustrated but theres got to be more done to ensure supplies available for the smaller orders. Extreme heat came at worst possible time for Washington raspberry growers. since we are out of stock and we are in urgent situation. Just wanted to give you a heads up that there are severe component shortages happening globally now; this certainly is affecting all SBC manufacturers such as PINE64, ODROID, and also Raspberry Pi. Hi Craig. You might have more success with smaller ARs in your geography rather than going straight to the two big ones. Please read the article again. You may want to use tools such as rpilocator(Opens in a new window) to keep an eye on which resellers have recently received stock, he added. As many of you know, global supply chains are in a state of flux as we (hopefully) emerge from the shadow of the COVID-19 pandemic. We provide monitoring and control software that runs on the Pi to the Solar industry. Thanks for the updates Liz Upton! Raspberries normally thrive in the cool summer climate of western Washington. : Hi, my company has invested in a custom carrier board for the CM3, and so we very much appreciate your focus on getting more CM3 stock available. Who knows, but I imagine well see a Pi 5 further in the future, once the silicon crunch is over and they can get hold of a better chip on a smaller process node but maintain the same price points as the current Pi 4. Bad news for Raspberry Pi buyers: Demand for the small desktop computer is so high the Raspberry Pi Foundation has been prioritizing orders for commercial and industrial customers over retail sales to individual consumers. Hopefully next year things will get better and raspberry devices can be found again at affordable prices. Hello good peoples, I dont currently see any stocks for the Model 4 (any version) either. I get that the Pi has become a go to hardware device for many manufacturers but it seems without more control, the hobbyists, schools, hackers will be frozen out from using your products due to the selling policies of the ARs. There seems to be no stock at all in the UK with any of the ARs. A member of our Commercial team has contacted you. Data Protection laws explicitly stop us from tracking this stuff: as they should. Im not getting in a queue that long. Can someone from your commercial team contact me to help? thank you Eben for keep us upto date. However, the latest Raspberry Pi 4 board remains out of stock. Is there someone we can speak to regarding bulk orders, or supply chain availability for commercial purposes? Happy to hear that there are Pies in production :D. 2) How do you propose we, or ARs, police this? To be fair Eben did said this about older product using 40nm manufacturing process: These challenges will fall most heavily on our older products, built on 40nm silicon, While in the same blog post he said this about model using 28nm chips: we expect to have enough 28nm silicon over the next twelve months to support both our existing Raspberry Pi 4 and Compute Module 4 customers, and customers migrating from Raspberry Pi 3B+. Just insane. https://github.com/metachris/RPIO/tree/v2 The 2023 stock dates are not just brutal, they are crippling. I agree that the dust will settle, hopefully soon. Liz, going to your authorised resellers is no better. How can I get 500 units in this month of April? Some local third party seller selling a raspberry Pi 4B 2Gb at USD 200+++ , and raspberry Pi 3B+ price USD150++. We plan to produce a small batch of it for May-June 2022, but our stock of RBPi4 is 1 unit and we cant figure how to get a small quantity of 40-50 units to keep the machine running on. Id love to do bulk orders! Why are they charging $75 for a $15 Pi Zero 2? I dont know if certain countries are prioritised but grateful if you can let us know when the UK ARs will receive substantial stock deliveries. We need 80 pi either 3B, 3B+ or 1GB 4 any idea when any of these will be coming available and which model is likely to be the first that appears? There is one that is selling a kit for around 130. Farnell and Digikey says the same. Chip shortage won't be over soon, Eben Upton belives. But we are still having problems getting any of the models. If were dreaming of products for 12 months time, to celebrate hopefully the end of scarcity, then what Id like is some new higher spec Pi Zeros (including one with a DSI port), and a Pi40 (the Pi400 motherboard in a plain stackable and rackable box, without the keyboard). However, a similar blog post written in October 2021 quoted production volume of seven million units in 2021, which remained unchanged from the output achieved in 2020. ), But anyway, these are all dreams for 12 months+ ahead. A faster processor (lets not even think about a Pi4-class SoC) runs into the problem ofwhere are you going to find one? Do you have any supply chain updates or any other suggestion to obtain quantities of RPI4 1Gb or 2Gb? Im still waiting to even get a hold of just 1 PI 4 8GB without having to pay 2 1/2 times the price. Hello, Do you have any supply chain updates? Unfortunately, cost increases caused by the current shortage mean that this product is not currently economically viable at this reduced price point. Thank you! Their businesses are just as damaged as everyone elses. Im seeing a few Zero 2 Ws on Ebay here in the states for around $65-70, and while Im not a fan of the markups, I only need one board badly right now and am willing to pay that price if I feel comfortable its likely legit. Im quite sure that more of Raspberry Pi boards are overpriced at this authorized reseller, eg: https://botland.com.pl/moduly-i-zestawy-raspberry-pi-4b/16579-raspberry-pi-4-model-b-wifi-dualband-bluetooth-8gb-ram-15ghz-765756931199.html, 549zl incl VAT which converts to around $138. Upton has been upfront with the supply of Raspberry Pis, writing a blog post covering the situation in late 2021 when the organization had to raise the price of the 2GB https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/new-raspberry-pi-zero-2-w-2/, https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Raspberry-ARM-Cortex-A72-WLAN-ac-Bluetooth-Micro-HDMI-Single/dp/B07TC2BK1X/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=raspberry+pi+4&qid=1642169389&sprefix=ras%2Caps%2C88&sr=8-2, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07B8MMD3V?ref_=pe_623860_70668670_dpLink, https://kamami.pl/raspberry-pi-zero-2-w/587851-raspberry-pi-zero-2-w-z-512mb-ram-4x1ghz-wifi-bluetooth.html, https://botland.com.pl/moduly-i-zestawy-raspberry-pi-zero/20347-raspberry-pi-zero-2-w-512mb-ram-wifi-bt-42.html, https://botland.com.pl/moduly-i-zestawy-raspberry-pi-4b/16579-raspberry-pi-4-model-b-wifi-dualband-bluetooth-8gb-ram-15ghz-765756931199.html, https://github.com/metachris/RPIO/tree/v2, https://www.mobilenewscwp.co.uk/Operators/article/hutchison-ports-three-uk-announce-largest-uk-port-5g. Im going back to looking at alternative hardware for my home projects. There is actually a shortage of Raspberry Pi 4s; at work I use the Raspberry Pi 4 for industrial projects, and now I seem to have nowhere to buy them from. I would love to see a vacuum tubes version of a Raspberry Pi, just to capture the image/video of how different/retro it would look. Hi Reik. Why not bring out some good news like releasing the Pi 5?? Youre not helping the situation the supply chain nightmare is bad for us just like it is for you and all I can do is to reassure you that we are doing everything we can, as it says in the article youre responding to, to overcome the issue. Hi Richard. Were now expecting our supply chain challenges to continue through much of 2022. In the entire history of Raspberry Pi, we have never increased the price of a product, and have often been able to reduce prices between, and sometimes within, generations. By 22nd March no deliveries had been received but there were pending payments of 4500 with our bank. Can someone advise when CM4 (4GB, any size Flash) with or without WiFi, will be available in the UK? Digi-Key is also indicating that it will ship the same model now only in 2023. I asked about this on 20th and then this morning theres this: https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/new-raspberry-pi-zero-2-w-2/. Is this something you can help provide some tangible information on when we can expect delivery? Could RPI share some production plan details we could then base some hope for a future on? we went on alibaba to provide our need. Thank you. Someone should be in touch soon. The Raspberry Pi Foundation as done it the right way. Thanks for the honest update. They are in stock at welectron, I have cm4 arriving from them tomorrow. Everywhere you look, there are NO Pis available at nomal retail prices. Hello Reik. Good that youre willing to be open about whats going on and communicate (clearly) both action and intent. As well as talking to us directly, its worth noting that we have several UK distributors, so its always worth looking around (in this instance though, I suspect well find it easier taking a direct route). Its only recently that weve been told how much the Auto Industry relies on old nodes and that 28nm is going to be mainstream for some years to come. Source: Digi-Key The venerable For now, good luck and best wishes for the Pi team in navigating the road ahead. And why ask on what is clearly a thread about something completely different? Alex, Granted the ship date is constantly moving forward currently end of March. Could you help with it? Future US, Inc. Full 7th Floor, 130 West 42nd Street, We can help you help you navigate the scarce supplies, price gouging, and The result has been a shortage of some products, notably Raspberry Pi Zero and the 2GB variant of Raspberry Pi 4. because of the farnell and sam(your authorized reseller) currently has no Rpi 4 2GB or 1GB . We need a few hundred but at this stage any amound will mean a lot. As a result, gas inventories swung from a large surplus to the pre-pandemic five-year average in the second half of 2020 to a deficit by the end of the second quarter of 2021. (Im also unconvinced that any bots are involved here, but thats beside the point.) Regarding increasing performance while reducing power/thermals thats why I said the Pi5 ought to wait until theres manufacturing capacity available at the next process node. any sort of lead time would be greatly appreciated. I appreciated you transparent information politics go ahead :-D There is an English company called Arrival, a automobile micro factory with modular manufacturing. Thanks! All these crybabies need to take a course in supply and demand and learn about the years of mismanagement in the supply chain that was bound to cause this. Just getting hold of a Raspberry Pi 4 for evaluation is also impossible, even with the smaller ARs. Look: you know as well as I do that nobody is being hacked or getting their stock stolen by criminals. The raspi foundation was always a player to count on, when it came to communication and awareness (this post here proofs that) and I want to encourage you to stick to this course and be as open as possible on the matter! And so far The Pi Foundation doesnt seem to care, maybe because they already got paid? Again, limited stock too, so do grab it as soon as possible. It will take at least another half a year to return to pre-pandemic levels, many analysts believe. Raspberry Pi Foundation. Frankly, I think its amazing that you have held the price for all these years. Thanks Marco. Hi Ben, While the company managed to ship some 800,000 units per month earlier this year, by July 2021 this had fallen to 650,000, roughly 20% down. Although the Raspberry Pi Foundation has been producing 500,000 units each month, supplies still haven't been enough to meet demand. We need around 50+ units, and again cant wait till Oct NOv 2022. Pico may be significant underpower in terms of software (full Linux OS vs bare metal apps) and sometimes CPU speed/RAM size too. Please check our github issue tracker to see if it has already been reported, and if not, please add an issue, along with data on how to make it go wrong. Thanks. Dallas, TX, USA. Hi Mike Ive passed your message on, and someone should get back to you soon. These suppliers are keep on changing the expected delivery date of boards. Dude, please up the price again for people that want to get in a faster lane One of the stockists says August preorder for a CM4. These challenges will fall most heavily on our older products, built on 40nm silicon: in practice, anything that isnt a Raspberry Pi 4, Raspberry Pi 400, or Compute Module 4. Like Borates for exampleno ones going nuts over Boron right now! Our sales team works every day on trying to direct stock to customers; and as Ive said here many times before, our inboxes are always open and we do what we can to help. Great to hear theres a million in production. I asked the same type of question last week but havent heard anything. As mentioned, I can buy from Alibaba, but prices are more then double, but it is strange these sellers have huge stock where official distributors seem to have none. Unfortunately this comes at the cost of constrained supply for individual customer, who might be looking to buy a small number for home projects or for prototyping.. Someone will email you later this afternoon. We are producing one product using raspberry Pi 3B+. We require 90 4GB Pis for the first stage and 60 later. Our Commercial team has contacted you. If you click an affiliate link and buy a product or service, we may be paid a fee by that merchant. Ive passed this on to the people who handle commercial sales, and someone will be in touch with you. Hi Liz, Please look into this as you are morally or ethically obliged to do so. Ive been in account with RS components and Farnell for decades. Ive asked the Commercial folks to get in touch. In a post on the official Raspberry Pi blog, Upton cites production volumes of around half a million single-board computers (SBCs) and compute modules. Were deploying hundreds of Pi on campus to run Audio Visual on campus. But in October 2021, Raspberry Pi, which makes computer models that cost between $70 a piece to 70 cents, was forced to raise its prices for the first time since its I am sorry this has struck a nerve with you. Im happy Ive chosen the Pi 400 as my new PC. "What's happened this year," he said, "is the industrial side of the business has grown. Hello Liz, we have pre ordered with full payment with few suppliers like digikey and other AR in india. Hello, Thanks for your help. We have requested delivery update information on numerous occasions from your UK distributor who are not providing us with any firm dates on delivery. The current shortage of Raspberry Pi can be attributed to various factors, including the ongoing global semiconductor shortage, increased demand for home Eben Upton, CEO of Raspberry Pi Trading, revealed the news in a Monday blog post(Opens in a new window) covering the supply problems facing the products. I am in dire need of getting a CM3 or CM3 + (any GB capacity). We also have some CM3, which may be available to you. We are a school in Belgium and we work with raspberry pi 3B. Ouch thanks for letting us know. These backlogs absorb Raspberry Pi units as fast as (or faster than!) (And for a processor an underclocked BCM 2837, as on the 2Bv1.2 perhaps ? Hi Liz and team. A new BCM processor on 20/22 nm would be ideal for a Pi 5. Its about time the team started pushing this up to the front of the webiste, and providing regular updates, rather than have it hidden in a 5 month old and saying to people one at a time, Well get out team to get in touch with you. How are we supposed to differentiate between a Jason C LaFleur who wants to put them in a factory to automate a production line and a Jason C LaFleur who wants to wait until theres a shortage and use them as arbitrage? We cant relay on country. I have a feeling this is going to last longer then most people think as far as the supply chain issues are concerned. Our product is based on a Raspberry Pi. They are quoting back order dates of November 2021 onwards. Hi Judd. So far we couldnt buy one single RPi 4 1GB for preparing the migration. Dont forget, we still have the 1GB Pi4 at the $35 price point, so there is still the entry level option for those with limited budgets. Please, could you post an availability timeline for your products for this year? My company has several products on the market which are based on a CM3+ with a custom-designed carrier board. Hi Liz! Hello Liz, We are also one of the companies that has invested in a custom carrier board for the CM3, and so we very much appreciate your focus on getting more CM3 stock available. Hi Fernando! At the beginning/premiere of Pi Zero 2, prices in these shops were at 80zl (20$). We had received notification from 1 distributor that our order for the Pi 4s would be dispatched on 21st March 2022 so with this information we were able to assure our client that we would be on schedule to supply our systems and they would be able to plan site installations. We are looking to urgently purchase, as many as we can to support our agriculture customers. One of my colleagues emailed you last Wednesday (16 March), and they havent received any bounce message; I have checked that the address they used was the one you gave when you commented. And as long as we can still fairly easily lay hands on the 4GB and 8GB configurations of 4B and CM4 units, this is still more than acceptible. Found this out, 3b+ backordered to Feb 2022! Yes, Ive passed this on, and someone will be in touch with you. we can produce them, with the result that little of our production volume ends up being immediately available on reseller websites, he added. Great update. As always, please check with our authorised resellers (you can find ones near you by clicking on the products link at the top of the page). Thanks for your query. Hello Lukasz, Washington States red raspberry crop was reduced by about 12% compared to last year due to rain during the harvest season which sent more product to juice.
