Any news on an updated tier Pi 500 version? (slrpnk.net)

I've read rumors in various places that another Pi 500 version at a separate price point with perhaps an SSD slot might be in the works. Also, obviously there would be another RAM tier to use, if there were ever to be a version targeting power users.

But does anybody know if anything concrete for these rumors ever showed up? Was there ever any confirmation whether such a different tier Pi 500 is even being thought about?

Sorry if there was news and I just missed it.

As I remember these rumers were based entirly on the 500 pcb having support for such. As of yet no official info exists on the companies plans for that.

To be precticlecit would need an entir.y new case design. So I'll likely be a while or a totally new format.

But there are folks who have upgraded the original pcb with just a few capacitors and the m.2 socket. You'd be best of watching those projects and seeing how they go.
