This month, Raspberry Pi announced a price reduction for two of its most widely used Compute Module 4 variants. As of May 1, 2025, the 4GB RAM version is now $5 cheaper, while the 8GB RAM version has been reduced by $10. These discounts apply to standard temperature models purchased through Raspberry Pi Approved Resellers.

The Compute Module 4 remains a foundational platform across a wide range of embedded systems. It has been deployed in sectors such as industrial automation, medical instrumentation, and smart infrastructure. The pricing update is intended to support projects that do not require the higher processing capabilities of the newer Compute Module 5, offering greater value to developers and businesses working within tighter budgets.

Despite the price reduction, the hardware remains unchanged. The CM4 continues to feature a quad-core Arm Cortex-A72 processor, extensive I/O support, and a compact form factor designed for embedded integration.
