I just read that some of the big chip manufacturers (AMD, etc.) have decreased their chip orders because sales have slowed.

Does that mean we can likely look forward to seeing Raspberry Pi's start showing back up in stock at regular prices again by
summer?

I'd kind of like to get my hands on a Pi Zero 2, but don't want to pay the current $100 or so for it on Ebay......

Wow, I appreciate that, but a lead time of more than a year!!!!
I'm hoping that stocks might build back up by summer.

I was thinking of possibly pairing it with this Sega Genesis ornament, and getting a working 3.5" by 3.5" Sega Genesis out of it.....

They mention that it depends on quantity ordered. If you order just one, you might get it sooner. Otherwise, cancel after a month of waiting.

Q4 for availability apparently. According to an interview with the CEO.
