Yes there’s many people waiting that long and even longer!I have been on the waiting List Since October and I got the Confirmed Email But I have not heard anything Since
Anyone else been waiting that Long .I am in the USA
Just shy of 13 months hereIf I’m not mistaken, I waited a year for the FM3.
They’re paused at about 4:00am 8/28.There is no stock due to the global chip shortage.
The wait-list is still processing people from the first day (8/27) as far as I remember.
It has been paused for some time...
My TV doesnt do very good amp simulations.....Its funny that there seems to be no shortage of chips for televisions. Hmmm.
Likely not the same chips.Its funny that there seems to be no shortage of chips for televisions. Hmmm.
TV manufacturers buy thousands or millions of chips at a time. Fractal doesn’t. Guess who gets first crack at whatever chips are available.Its funny that there seems to be no shortage of chips for televisions. Hmmm.
But chips for MI is only a small part of the supply chain shortage. Everything from building materials to food products are in short supply. I just find it interesting that televisions, even though practically none are made in the US and have to be imported, are not in short supply.TV manufacturers buy thousands or millions of chips at a time.

I think it’s not all that surprising that chips made in Asia are more available to manufacturers in Asia.But chips for MI is only a small part of the supply chain shortage.

I'm pretty sure I got my invite a few days before the halt announcement, thankfully. Good things come to those who wait and the FM9 is very, very worth the wait.
I also hear these units are known as the "Pre-shortage" FM9, with the better chips that have the higher crunch values?
