Arduino’s Raspberry Pi-like microcomputer the Uno Q is becoming a member of many different units in getting a worth hike this week. The 2GB model of the Uno Q, which is powered by a Qualcomm Dragonwing QRB2210 processor, will enhance in worth from $44 to $59, whereas the 4GB mannequin is getting a barely steeper enhance from $59 to $79. If you happen to’ve been eyeing the Uno Q as a less expensive different to Raspberry Pi’s current lineupyou might have slightly over every week to seize both model on the present worth because the will increase received’t take impact till July sixth.
In a letter shared through the official Arduino blogthe corporate’s chief product officer Marcello Majonchi says Arduino’s “reminiscence part prices have greater than doubled” over the past six months alone, “fueled by the enduring demand for AI functions.” The corporate has to this point been capable of maintain off on elevating costs “due to help from Qualcomm” which purchased Arduino last Octoberhowever “with no near-term indicators of aid in reminiscence provide or pricing, persevering with to soak up these prices is now not potential.”
