HALPI2 Price Increase

Unfortunately, global LPDDR4 memory and NAND flash prices have risen sharply over the past months, driven by AI infrastructure build-out competing for semiconductor fab capacity. This directly affects two key HALPI2 components, the Raspberry Pi CM5 compute module and NVMe SSDs, and we have had to adjust HALPI2 prices accordingly.
Raspberry Pi has already raised CM5 prices twice — first in December 2025 and again in February 2026. On the storage side, NAND manufacturers are imposing 100%+ price increases, and consumer SSD prices have roughly doubled.
The combined effect on HALPI2 pricing is significant. Here are three representative configurations:
| Variant | Configuration | Old price | New price | Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| COM-HALPI2-00-000 | Barebone (no CM5, no SSD) | 333.68 € | 333.68 € | – |
| COM-HALPI2-08-512 | 8 GB CM5 / 512 GB SSD | 412.84 € | 557.29 € | +35% |
| COM-HALPI2-16-1024 | 16 GB CM5 / 1 TB SSD | 502.44 € | 721.35 € | +44% |
As shown, the base unit price is unchanged; the increases are entirely due to the CM5 and SSD component costs being passed through. Our margins on these parts are already thin, leaving us no option but to increase prices accordingly.
Existing pre-order customers will be honored at their original prices.
We understand this is unwelcome news, and we will reduce prices as memory and NAND costs normalize. Updated pricing is live at Hat Labs shop.
