Raspberry Pi warns of bots as supply still tight

Raspberry Pi is continuing to see short supply of its single board computers, prioritising industrial customers and pointing other customers to its 400 all-in-one Linux keyboard and its own RP2040 microcontroller.

“As you will have noticed, it can be hard to buy a unit from stock at the moment. Several factors are contributing to this,” said Ebon Upton, CEO of Raspberry Pi, who has also warned that bots are driving up prices.

“就像我们之前所说的,目前的情况一样much a demand shock as a supply shock,” he said. “Demand increased sharply from the start of 2021 onwards, and supply constraints have prevented us from flexing up to meet this demand, with the result that we now have significant order backlogs for almost all products. In turn, our many resellers have their own backlogs, which they fulfil when they receive stock from us.”

“We set aside a certain amount of BCM2711 silicon supply for Raspberry Pi 400, which plays an important role in our mission to provide general-purpose PC computing at an affordable price. Many of our Approved Resellers have this product in stock today,” he said in an update.

”While they are not full-fledged PCs like other Raspberry Pi products, Raspberry Pi Pico, and the many third-party boards based on our RP2040 microcontroller, can be used for many of the same embedded applications. We have plenty of stock of Pico, and of RP2040.”
