>Following that cycle, one would expect a Pi 6 3-4 years after the Pi 5, which would put it in 2026 or 2027.
My guess is Pi 6 development is already pretty far along... but there's that pesky global DRAM shortage that makes this a bad time to launch a new computer. There's no sense in releasing an SBC that costs twice as much as the $50 Pi 5.
Eben stretched the timeline a bit to 4-4.5 years, and indicated a Pi 6 wouldn't come before early 2028... which means the Pi 5 will remain Pi's flagship for a while.
And if you're expecting a built-in M.2 slot or more ports, I'd temper your expectations: It sounds like the key feature will be 'more': a faster CPU and faster IO, rather than new features.
And instead of wasting precious silicon with an NPU, Eben said they see the "CPU as a venue for AI compute." So I don't expect any specific AI chip on the Pi 6.
