On Thursday, three of the lead Raspberry Pi engineers hosted an AMA on the r/engineering subreddit.
Raspberry Pi 6 One of the most interesting tidbits was on the Pi 6.
Looking back at previous launches:
2012: Raspberry Pi 2015: Raspberry Pi 2 (+3 years) 2016: Raspberry Pi 3 (+1 year) 2019: Raspberry Pi 4 (+3 years) 2023: Raspberry Pi 5 (+4 years) Following that cycle, one would expect a Pi 6 3-4 years after the Pi 5, which would put it in 2026 or 2027.
Bought a Pi 5 with 16 GB RAM back in september for 140€. That exact same device now cost 340€…
They really need to focus on affordability for the next gen, rather than performance improvements.
