The 2GB version of the Arduino Uno Q single-board microcomputer will rise from $44 to $59, while the 4GB model will increase from $59 to $79, beginning July 6. The company said memory component costs have more than doubled in the last six months due to demand for AI applications.
It added that support from Qualcomm, which purchased the company last October, had allowed it to delay price increases until now.
Background on the price changes The Uno Q uses a Qualcomm Dragonwing QRB2210 processor and is positioned as a lower-cost option compared with current Raspberry Pi models. Buyers have until July 5 to purchase either version at the existing prices. The company stated that without near-term relief in memory supply or pricing, it could no longer absorb the higher costs.
