Raspberry Pi 5 Prices Stabilize as Competition Heats Up
Raspberry Pi 5 prices have dropped from scalper highs of $200-$300 to near-MSRP levels, with the 4GB model now at $96.49. The 8GB variant remains elevated at $199 due to supply constraints, while the new 16GB SKU costs $349.99. Competition from Rockchip-based SBCs like Orange Pi 5 is pressuring the Pi 5's value proposition.

The price history shows the Pi 5 is no longer a no-brainer; developers should weigh the ecosystem against cheaper, more powerful alternatives.
