Yeah, don't think I'd be stocking 10,000 of them with the PI5 around the corner, but I guess there are businesses that have the PI4 designed in and don't want to change (or can't because of the connector layout change).
That Farnell price excludes VAT so its really GBP53.23 in the UK.

Edit to say: Only 6 pounds more for the PI5.

It's not just the layout, I imagine there will be software changes to use the new connector, also drivers might be out of date and need changes to them for the product to work.

That said, I've pre-ordered one to get started on that side of things.

They still sell Pi3B's. I expect Pi4's will be on the market for years to to come yet.

The CM4 datasheet has a production lifetime statement: https://datasheets.raspberrypi.com/cm4/cm4-product-brief.pdf


--- Quote ---Production lifetime: Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 will remain in production until at least January 2028

I wonder if that is true for all 47200 variants :)  As long as they make one variant, they aren't technically wrong.

Finally, the scarcity has ended!
