A new chip makes the most sense, good point. But pretty sure LPDDR4 is also pretty much EOL, it's going to get as expensive as LPDDR5 at this rate.

Problem is that I don't think LPDDR5 comes in any sizes smaller than 1GB, so if they want to stick to the current 512MB spec (and price point), LPDDR4 might be the way to go.

It might be nearer to EOL, but it's not actually EOL and should be fine for 5+ years after any EOL is announced.

Micron have announced EOL, yes they'll supply industry for a while but I don't think that's the place raspberry pi want to be.

Others seem to have delayed their announcements after realising they can still make a load of money off ddr4. Also not a great situation for a raspberry pi chip. https://www.trendforce.com/news/2025/09/02/news-samsung-sk-h...
