- Raspberry Pi 6 expected in early 2028, extending previous launch cycles, with main focus on faster CPU and IO rather than new features like an NPU.
- Pi Zero 2W shortage due to substrate constraints from high AI chip demand; a new vendor is being added to improve capacity, and Pi Zero 3 is not imminent due to cost and design challenges.
- Pi 3B remains popular, selling nearly a million units annually despite being over a decade old.
- RP2350 microcontroller development faced power and security challenges, but a silicon revision fixed a current leakage bug; Picos use micro USB due to cost and space constraints.
- Microcontroller shipments surpassed Pi SBC sales in 2025, with the gap widening as Pi prices increase.
- Raspberry Pi emphasizes software support as a key advantage, with 95% of software engineering time dedicated to libraries, drivers, kernels, and OSes.
