I am hearing 2023 from some of my suppliers for manufacturing to be able to get back on track. Also hoarding of parts going on. Components that used to cost us 50 cents are now $10 each. A lot of blame is placed on the “just on time” manufacturing philosophy, so chip manufacturers have no idea what they should be producing. Also not very many IC foundries. They’re expensive to build and don’t have a very good ROI, so there isn’t a huge rush to build them.
