Those above dates were extremely optimistic best case scenarios and ignore the facts that wafers need to be packaged into chips and shipped around, which can take weeks. My original calculations did not ignore that fact and the date I came up with for normal volume production was February. That was before the announced delays which everyone should assume will be around 9 weeks until Ken says otherwise, as that's how long he said it takes to get the samples.

It's far more realistic to expect normal volume production to commence in April/May than than to claim that the chip redesign has actually sped up the production schedule.

Normal volume production will be 7 to 9 weeks after samples according to Ken. Ken has not had new sample chips back yet. What will the date be 9 weeks from now?
