Rising memory and component prices driven by AI data center demand have pushed Pi 5 prices significantly higher, making a 2027 launch financially risky. The Pi 6 will focus on incremental CPU improvements rather than adding an NPU, with Eben Upton citing fast CPUs as the best path to democratizing AI. The Pi Zero 3W is also off the table until LPDDR4 prices normalize. The author supports the wait, hoping for a better price-to-performance ratio when Pi 6 eventually launches. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
