The Raspberry Pi 6 won’t be released before 2028 and it won’t feature an onboard NPU to handle AI compute tasks. Insight into plans for the Pi 6 were shared by three of the company’s key engineers and leaders in an AMA (ask me anything) session on Reddit on 21 May, 2026. Based on past launches the gap between major Pi models (Raspberry Pi 2, 3, 4 and 5) is around 3-4 years. The Raspberry Pi 5 launched in 2023. That should put the Pi 6 on course for launch in 2026 or 2027. But Raspberry Pi co-founder and CEO […]

Raspberry Pi has announced a fresh round of price rises for its range of popular single-board computers, owing to industry-wide memory costs. It’s also launched a new version of the Pi 4 with 3GB RAM to sweeten the bad news, albeit somewhat. This is the second price rise announced for Raspberry Pi in recent months. The RRP of Raspberry Pi boards were bumped in February, seeing up to $20 aded to the cost of Raspberry Pi 5 boards compared to their original price. A 16 GB Raspberry Pi 5 in the UK now costs over £290 – a 61% increase […]
To help offset the industry-wide RAM price increases, a new version of the Raspberry Pi 4 has been released that uses dual-RAM chips.
A new version of the Raspberry Pi Imager, a cross-platform and open source Qt-based image flashing tool is available for testing — with a BRAND NEW look. 
Raspberry Pi today unveiled the new Raspberry Pi 500+ — a ‘premium’ version of its compact keyboard PC that uses mechanical switches, RGB backlighting and is pre-fitted with an SSD. “Raspberry Pi 500+ puts the power of Raspberry Pi 5’s quad-core 64-bit Arm processor and RP1 I/O controller into an ergonomic and tactile mechanical keyboard, combining uncompromising performance with 16GB RAM and 256GB NVMe storage,” they say. Those who dig the idea of the your keyboard being the PC — as someone old enough to have owned an Amstrad CPC 464, I do — but are too discerning to the quality of key clacking […]
If you're looking to add an SSD to your Raspberry Pi 5, the new $15 M.2 HAT+ Compact is a solid and smaller option to other add-ons on the market. 
The first new kernel release of the year has arrived — yes, Linux 6.13 has gone stable. Linux kernel 6.13 adds, as ever, a vast array of improvements, from an updated Raspberry Pi graphics driver promising speed gains, to lazy preemption logic, expanded Rust support and new drivers for a host of hardware, peripherals and digital doohickeys. Plus, as with all new kernel releases there’s ongoing work to support new and upcoming CPUs and GPUs from industry titans Intel and AMD. Linus Torvalds quietly confirmed the Linux 6.13 release in an email to the Linux Kernel Mailing List (LKML), noting that as […]
Raspberry Pi has today announced the launch of a Raspberry Pi 5 with 16 GB RAM. A engorged-memory model had been oft-rumoured since the launch of the raspberry Pi 5 in 2024 – and long-desired by fans of this particular single-board computer (SBC). The launch of the new Raspberry Pi CM5 late last year offers up to 16 GB RAM whilst utilising the same underlying chipset as the Pi 5, all but confirming a bumper RAM revision for the full-size board was imminent. Why didn’t they launch a 16 GB model right away? It’s only due to last year’s (minor) […]
