Raspberry Pi prices are speculated high for the following reasons:

1, the impact of the epidemic. This is the closest to the world's impact, the epidemic led to a lot of companies shut down production, from raw materials to finished products throughout the industry chain are affected, although China is currently vigorously develop the national core, but Europe is also one of the important chip origin.

2, rising raw materials. Manufacture of semiconductors have a material called silicon, "sand" contains silicon, and the shortage of sand prices, resulting in the entire industry chain downstream links are rising prices.

3, merchants hoarding. Some of the industry is more familiar with the business, hoarding a large number of spot chips, exacerbating the shortage of chips in the market, and then sold at a high price.

4, international relations turbulence in recent years, countries are sanctioning each other.

The Raspberry Pi was developed by the RaspberryPi Charitable Foundation, which is registered in the United Kingdom, with Eben Upton spearheading the project.

In March 2012, Eben Upton of the University of Cambridge officially launched the world's smallest desktop computer, also known as a card computer, which is the size of a credit card, but has all the basic functions of a computer, which is the RaspberryPi computer board, translated into Chinese as "Raspberry Pi".

The RaspberryPi is like any other desktop or portable computer running Linux, and there are many things you can do with a RaspberryPi.
