DRAM pricing is killing the hobbyist SBC market

This article discusses the impact of soaring DRAM pricing on the hobbyist single-board computer (SBC) market, focusing on Raspberry Pi and other vendors. It explains that LPDDR chips now account for most board costs, leading to price hikes (e.g., 16GB Pi 5 at $299.99) that put high-RAM models out of hobbyists' reach. The author argues the market is dying or on life support, with fewer new boards and hobbyists shifting to older SBCs or microcontrollers. Mini PCs and used PCs are also affected.
