More RAM on RevPi

Dear all,
currently, all Revolution Pi controller models have only 1GB of RAM, which is rahter small. Are there plans to - soon - increase RAM?

For an application we need to have a system of nodes and a webserver run on each controller and fear, that we will be mainly limited by the RAM, thus forcing us to switch to other controller vendors.
Best, Robert

Hello Robert,
we are planing to release the first RevPi with a CM4 module this fall. It is not sure yet which module variant we will start with and if we will equip the new RevPis with all possible CM4 variants (there are 72 different CM4 modules), but we will definitely start with a version that has more than 1 GB RAM.

Hello,
please correct me if I'm wrong but I've only see new CM4 modules with RAM 1 GB. Could you give me an timeline when there will be more than 1 GB available in your shop? It would be so much easier for further development if we can use more RAM and don't need to use the swap memory function.
