Raspberry Pi uncertainty over memory shortages due to AI boom

UK technology firm Raspberry Pi has said memory supply issues linked to the rapid growth of Al data centres have increased uncertainty for its future performance outlook.

It came as the microcomputer manufacturer pointed towards stronger-than-expected profits for the past year.

However, the Cambridge-based business saw shares slide in early trading after highlighting memory shortages.

The company is among a raft of technology manufacturers to use Dram (dynamic random access memory) hardware in its products.

However, Raspberry Pi said demand for the specific Dram in many of its products has "increased rapidly in recent months, with some major suppliers now indicating limitations of supply at high densities".
