Right, but an 8G RPi is $75 MSRP, so this is over a 30% - 50% higher cost!
For most projects that really _need_ a Pi (for the GPIO, CSI etc.), most don't require the 8G version, and you can get by with a 2 or 4G which is closer to $50 or less.
If the goal is compute/$ though, Pis are nowhere near being the most efficient for that and haven't been for years.
