Im still chasing some units of rasp 3B or 3B+ for professional use we need around 1k units in order to secure our business we have some open orders but no visibility on it so far. Hello Lukasz, We needpis urgently. Thank you for sticking with us: by working together, Im confident well get through the next twelve months in good shape. I had exactly this same problem with RS Components who stated stock had been allocated against my order for dispatch middle of March and then marked the order as having been delivered whilst shifting it onto back order till November 2022 at the earliest. We still have some stock left, but I would really need the orders to come in within the next months to prevent production stop. Someone will email you later this afternoon. Im not sure what is happening, but for now there are no But still available. Thank you very much for all the information. We are working to migrate our software to RBpi4. Liz, your glib comments do not sit nicely with your image of a foundation that aims to put real computer learning back in the schools and support hackspaces and hobbyists and yes I come with the background trumpeted by yourselves as the good old days of learning on single board computers soldered together with components, build your own zx80 / zx81 from scratch, Microtan 65, commodore Pets, Commodore 64 etc. and the pi 4 2GB price is higher than 80$!!! 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. Thanks for both of those links. Glydeck. Thanks. We are a school in Belgium and we work with raspberry pi 3B. raspberry pi 4 is sold out since december and delivery dates keep moving forward all the time but for sure not expected in the next weeks or months. On a 12nm node. Please look into this as you are morally or ethically obliged to do so. Thanks for the update and transparency Eben, its greatly appreciated. All one of them has to do is what I have and check the approved resellers. Can you have someone from your commercial team reach out to us about ordering directly? : 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. The result has been a shortage of some products, notably Raspberry Pi Zero and the 2GB variant of Raspberry Pi 4. Yes; Im just passing your details along to my colleagues now. Were having trouble finding at least one unit! I not get message from your team. If there is a single one of those hundreds of components that is unavailable for supply chain reasons, we cant make a Raspberry Pi. Hi There, me too unable to find any products of CM400416 or CM400432 in stock anywhere (. Solution: Release a Pi Zero with new 28nm CPU :). Hi Nikita, 72. Hello Reik, Ive passed this on to my colleagues, along with the email address you provided when you commented, and someone will contact you. This is not the answer for the problem we have now. All stocks are empty, amazon is empty, there are few auctions in ebay, but prices are really high there and they run out very fast. I feel bad for the kids that right now are trying to find a raspberry pi and cant find it. Im in contact with a local distributor but they have a wait time of 52 weeks for that model, for the 2GB model they dont even have a date. Their businesses are just as damaged as everyone elses. its very urgent, (Comment edited to redact personal email address), Is Waveshare one of your authorized resellers? Ive passed this on to the people who handle commercial sales, and someone will be in touch with you. They are quoting back order dates of November 2021 onwards. WebIt's like almost everything else during the COVID pandemic: Shortage of labor, trucks, and truck drivers, have resulted in high demand and low supply. Is there any update ? By 22nd March no deliveries had been received but there were pending payments of 4500 with our bank. Data Protection laws explicitly stop us from tracking this stuff: as they should. We cant wait such long time. We use 4gb pi 4 and have not been able to find them, how do we find them? dont! Because for now them absolutely impossible to get and often hard to replace.

It would be really helpful to get direct information from your commercial team so we can plan accordingly. Kindest regards, As for your wish list for an updated Pi0 DSI connector runs directly into the board real estate issue: the PCB would have to be bigger. Our own commercial team, our licensees, and our partners at Sony have done a great job keeping components coming in the door and products going out. NO Thanks. This is not temporary. Chip Shortage 2021: Semiconductors Are Hard to Make and Thats Part of the Problem The Great Semiconductor Shortage Adafruit publishes a wide range of writing and video content, including interviews and reporting on the maker market and the wider technology world. Youre so far below most price points, it feels like a self-imposed hardship to keep to the old prices. Given the design of Pi 5 is probably already finished, with work happening on 6, and the chip shortage is going to last a year, we may not see a 5 at all! Thanks for letting us know. My sadness is that fewer young enthusiasts might get the Pi bug as its definitely the natural successor to Sinclair and the BBC micro. There is! We use the pi 4 primarily in our manufacturing environment and would like to buy as many as we can. 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. We also buy these unit in bulk and would like to speak to someone about setting things up to do just that. 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. 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. Hi, Shipping from Pi Hut's 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. Taking your foundations original aims, where could we go to obtain small supplies to run an after school club if we wanted to ? There is no raspberry pi 4 1GB on the stores. Miles apart from the original aims. Our current productions are around 200 annually and orders increasing to double those numbers. Subscribing to a newsletter indicates your consent to our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. The problem is not the shortage but the price skyrocketed thru the roof. 2021 12 29 2021 12 27 But despite significantly increased demand, well only end up making around seven million units in 2021: pretty much exactly what we did in 2020. Thats odd; while there has been limited stock of 2GB this year, there has definitely been some, and Micro Centre has definitely been getting and selling that stock. No need to worry about keeping cool. Ill pay five dollars a gallon for gas, but I will not stand for a Thanksgiving table minus @OceanSprayInc jellied Thanks for the frank and detailed update. Sorry to hear about the need, but no especially surprising. 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. I've been with PCMag since October 2017, covering a wide range of topics, including consumer electronics, cybersecurity, social media, networking, and gaming. Theres absolutely no stock, and were at our wits end. Were just working on an update to this blog post (the update is: theres not been much movement, but well have a way for people who need Pis for their business to get in touch); Ill be directing people to that when its up, but for now, please keep an eye on your inbox. Whilst I am glad the commercial team are helping out people wanting bulk orders, it would be nice to know when the ARs are going to get stock. Apologies, Richy we missed this one last week. Thank you. Thank you. 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. Could drop the node to 28nm to keep the die small enough (and hold down on thermal issues) to be able to support PoP DRAM. Why not bring out some good news like releasing the Pi 5?? Hi, If we can lay hands on the 1GB 4Bs easily enough, its rather a win if you pause to think. Is there anyone that I can reach out to? Im afraid we have as much overall global supply chain visibility as you do, so any schedule we were to attempt to build for the year right now, in January, wouldnt be at all accurate. Thank you for the communication and the insight. My startup company has been developing a SaaS the past 15 months that requires us to deploy a custom camera device we designed the heart of which is a Raspberry Pi 4 w/4GB. Hopefully next year things will get better and raspberry devices can be found again at affordable prices. Hello, Our expert industry analysis and practical solutions help you make better buying decisions and get more from technology. I am in the same scenario, could you also contact me to the commercial team? Im posting this in case the Commercial team is able to get in touch for large orders. Could RPI share some production plan details we could then base some hope for a future on? How can I get 500 units in this month of April? Raspberry Pi CM3+ /32GBhas high lead time, can anyone please suggest alternative to this model? Im sorry youre having a hard day. A new BCM processor on 20/22 nm would be ideal for a Pi 5. Speaking to The Register, Raspberry Pi Foundation CEO Eben Upton revealed that he doesnt expect the shortage to die down this year, with things starting to Can someone please reach out to me? So how are alibaba vendors getting Pis in large quantities if they are not official resellers? In his career, spanning more than a decade, hes written for numerous media outlets, including Al Jazeera Balkans. Our current productions are around 1000 annually and orders increasing to double those numbers next year. But in October 2021, Raspberry Pi, which makes computer models that cost between $70 a piece to 70 cents, was forced to raise its prices for the first time since its We have also heavily invested into a cm3 carrier board. because of the farnell and sam(your authorized reseller) currently has no Rpi 4 2GB or 1GB . we can produce them, with the result that little of our production volume ends up being immediately available on reseller websites, he added. We were looking forward to eating sticky handfuls of black raspberries this summer but it turns out the fruit is facing a shortage. Thinking ahead, would be great to see an updated Pi Zero with somewhat comparable silicon to Pi 4 (but with the inevitable compromises necessary for the form factor), Gotta say that eight days is a pretty fast response time :-) Geez not a very easy audience in this comments section, but thank you very much for the updates here, Liz. Alex, We are about to launch a new product thats been in the works for about a year, and we are going to need about 1000 Raspberry Pi Zero W per year (ordered in batches of 250 minimum). It looks like we are going to have to delay our product launch, which is terrible for us. How are we supposed to differentiate between a Jason C LaFleur who wants to put them in a factory to automate a production line and a Jason C LaFleur who wants to wait until theres a shortage and use them as arbitrage? Kamami Shop As always, please check with our authorised resellers (you can find ones near you by clicking on the products link at the top of the page). At the beginning/premiere of Pi Zero 2, prices in these shops were at 80zl (20$). Ive passed this on to my colleagues, and someone will get in touch. They maybe will have inventory in 2023.

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. We are working with Cambridge Uni to take sensor data from very large cranes in the Port of Feilxstowe and then build an AI engineering system from it. I have several Rpis and use one as my daily computer. 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. Why is there a shortage of gas in 2021? We have requested delivery update information on numerous occasions from your UK distributor who are not providing us with any firm dates on delivery. we went on alibaba to provide our need. Some timeline ? We have just completed Beta testing on a Pi 4GB/8GB-based application with one of our clients but now cannot build and deliver. Thank you. 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. :). Where could we get them? Its only the 2GB device that has gone up in price (back to where it was originally). In the last year, we have been designing and prototyping our new flag-ship device, a really fine piece of hardware!! This suggests that there are more Raspberry Pi Foundation. On the 18th March the Pi 4 orders for 75 units had been despatched according to our account with this particular distributor. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07B8MMD3V?ref_=pe_623860_70668670_dpLink. (And for a processor an underclocked BCM 2837, as on the 2Bv1.2 perhaps ? Thank you! Please help! We can only get them to do that if the bug is reported with a full set of instructions on how to replicate the issue. Do you have any updates on when you might expect more CM3 stock to arrive? Look forward to hearing back from you. We use the CM3+ in one of our commercial products and despite having orders in place on your UK suppliers for over a year we are not getting any convincing information on delivery schedules. Our guidance to industrial and embedded users of Raspberry Pi 3B+ who wish to optimise availability in 2022 is to begin migrating your designs to the 1GB variant of Raspberry Pi 4. 4 Likes, 0 Comments - RNA News (@rnakashmirlive) on Instagram: "PMs dream of development in J&K is becoming a reality: Hardeep S. Puri Union Minister reviews" Thanks for the updates Liz Upton! Id love to know. But we are still having problems getting any of the models. According to Statista, there were 11.01 million job openings in the United States as of December 2022, the highest number on record. The global hardware components shortage isnt just plaguing the PC market (computers, business laptops (opens in new tab), servers and more), but also the Raspberry Pi (opens in new tab) market, as well, its CEO has confirmed. Hello, Is there a commercial or volume purchase department we could referred to for help , please? I think they are now worth as much as my monthly salary :). [3] Im happy Ive chosen the Pi 400 as my new PC. To support the many industrial customers who have designed the 2GB variant of Raspberry Pi 4 into their products, we are reintroducing the 1GB variant at the $35 price point. Thanks for your query. Whatever that happens to be, perhaps everything to build it doesnt rely that heavily on current semiconductor supply chains.(?) The need date is by the end of May. Hi Baden, Hello, We need 150 Raspberry Pi 4 for a research project which has to start soon, but we cannot find any supplier with delivery projection before the Q4 2022. Is there any information that can be shared about delays or if we can buy direct? Whats more, getting your hands on a specific Pi model from a specific retailer could mean having to wait for as long as a year, Upton added. Hi RBPi Team! Quarterly sales grew 14.5% to $1.24 billion from $1.06 billion the year prior. Here Fernando, from Zynthian project. We love the pi, but we are desperately trying to schedule the year and any information would be helpful! We produce a commercial product using the RPI4 2GB. Ive asked someone to drop you a line. First I wanted to blame the BREXIT, but it seems to be related to the chip crisis? any sort of lead time would be greatly appreciated. thank you Eben for keep us upto date. Hi Helen, Sleeping. Weve passed this to our Commercial team so they can try to help you. Andy is my friend, we discuss quadcopter and Can you get me in contact with the right person? For several years weve expected inexorable progress and I was wondering when wed have a 22nm processor! Chip shortage won't be over soon, Eben Upton belives. PCMag supports Group Black and its mission to increase greater diversity in media voices and media ownerships. Thanks! A member of our Commercial team will contact you shortly. Could you kindly help us? How can we get one piece? But instead of the demand falling, it actually rose. As for DSI on a Pi Zero-class board youre absolutely right there isnt the board real-estate for both DSI and CSI. Do you have any supply chain updates or any other suggestion to obtain quantities of RPI4 1Gb or 2Gb? A few months ago we went to micro center store again, we were told 2GB has been out of stock for one year, so had to buy 8gb one to build a mine craft server and 6 pieces of CM4. Hello Liz, Bernhard. In contrast, Raspberry Pi 3B+ uses the same wireless chipset as Raspberry Pi 4, with the same FCC modular certification; we expect this similarity to translate into a lower migration cost. Im guessing the focus isnt on a next-gen product in the current climate! Dried-up berries in Oregon Or, how about Mercury amalgams? Weve been trying to purchase Raspberry Pi 4 (4Gb) for a new product launch and have had our orders with distributors continually pushed out.
