The delay extends the typical 3-4 year release cycle, as the Raspberry Pi 5 debuted in 2023, pushing the next major model beyond the initially expected 2026-2027 timeframe.", "body_md": "The Raspberry Pi 6 won’t be released before 2028 and it won’t feature an onboard NPU to handle AI compute tasks. Insight into plans for the Pi 6 were shared by three of the company’s key engineers and leaders in an AMA (ask me anything) session on Reddit on 21 May, 2026. Based on past launches the gap between major Pi models (Raspberry Pi 2, 3, 4 and 5) is around 3-4 years. The Raspberry Pi 5 launched in 2023. That should put the Pi 6 on course for launch in 2026 or 2027.
