The winter storm in Texas did a big damper on NXP, Samsung, etc. Some fabs are not at 100% so I highly doubt it's going to take 6 months to recover.

- HowardStark 5y agoInteresting. Other estimates had put it in the “upwards of a year” territory [1,2] so to me this 6-month estimate seems optimistic. Samsung only recently (end of March) got their fab up and running close to production levels. NXP was a bit faster on the draw, but even still there are likely to still be more issues than normal. At the end of the day, not much to do except hope for the best and expect the worst.
