The Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 Is Hard to Get

tl;dw: The CM4 has been in high demand, and as of today there have been 25,000 boards produced. By the end of January, there should be 60,000.

And judging by how many of the 32 variations are out of stock currently (everywhere I've looked), I'm guessing 'produced' pretty closely matches 'sold' at this point.

It doesn't help that there's a global chip shortage, either! (cf https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25457411)

Given the proprietary nature of the pcm4's interface I'm amazed that they have such high demand right now, but given how that little gigabit chip wildly improves io performance I guess I shouldn't be.
