At Raspberry Pi, our mission is to make computing accessible and affordable for everyone and for businesses at every scale, so today we're delighted to announce a reduction in the price of some of the most popular variants of Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4. From now, if you buy a standard operating temperature Compute Module 4 from a Raspberry Pi Approved Reseller, it will cost you $5 less for a 4 GB RAM variant, and $10 less for an 8 GB RAM variant.

Broader access to a proven platform
Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 is the cornerstone of an astonishing variety of applications, from medical equipment to energy services infrastructure and from concrete monitoring to retro gaming. There is a vast number of embedded use cases that don't require the processing heft of our new (ish) Compute Module 5; by lowering the cost of the higher-memory-density variants of its predecessor, we aim to make these projects more cost-effective, and to unlock new ones that previously weren't viable. We hope the price drop will introduce new possibilities both for businesses and for enthusiasts, helping you bring into existence products and projects we'd never even imagined.

NComputing, a global leader in thin client computing solutions, announces the launch of its RX540 thin client, powered by the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 platform. This state-of-the-art device offers a substantial leap in CPU performance, memory bandwidth, and local GPU performance.

Optimized for a wide range of Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) and Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS) solutions, the RX540 provides an exceptional blend of functionality, performance, and affordability. By optimizing LEAF OS on the CM5 platform, NComputing has built a thin client that delivers performance on par with traditional x86-64 endpoints while maintaining cost-effectiveness, enhancing multitasking capabilities and boosting productivity across the board.

Today we're happy to announce the much-anticipated launch of Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5, the modular version of our flagship Raspberry Pi 5 single-board computer, priced from just $45.

An unexpected journey
We founded the Raspberry Pi Foundation back in 2008 with a mission to give today's young people access to the sort of approachable, programmable, affordable computing experience that I benefitted from back in the 1980s. The Raspberry Pi computer was, in our minds, a spiritual successor to the BBC Micro, itself the product of the BBC's Computer Literacy Project. But just as the initially education-focused BBC Micro quickly found a place in the wider commercial computing marketplace, so Raspberry Pi became a platform around which countless companies, from startups to multi-billion-dollar corporations, chose to innovate. Today, between seventy and eighty percent of Raspberry Pi units go into industrial and embedded applications.
