Goddard, check out this one:
The most correct Time right now is already set: 52 Weeks. And if the end is reached it could be 6 Month or another 52 Weeks.
Not sure if the Librem 5 is before or after a point where the largest pile of Oders are done. If we are after and they got a big piles of that CPU delivered. They know when to ship. Right now its not sure if and when they got that. I am sure the new System is already to send estimations to the next X Phone-Orders when they will have that cpus in stock.
The Chip Shortage could end 2024, but that was just an estimation of some Intel or Economic Folks. Right now nobody can say. Its to hard with Covid (its not done now, as the Shanghai lockdown show) and rising Prices for Energy, Resources. War in Ukrain was another curse for global Economy. And the next could be Environmental and Climate issues or a big Finance issue. Nobody knows.
If i set that time how long other have waited for that.. was 3 Years and 10 Month. So that is the time i hope to have my phone! ;D
But right know, if in the next 12 Month Purism got a large pile of cpus delivered i think its more likely that the 12 Month or 52 Weeks are a good estimation right know. Cause the pile of open orders got smaller and smaller in the last 7 Month.
The Forum Post about Chip availability.. showed that it got worse in 1 year from April 2021 to April 2022. From some in Stock to 0 in Stock and there a lead time of 52 month too.
