Framework Desktop opens pre-orders with 192 GB unified memory

Framework has opened pre-orders for its high-performance, small-form-factor Framework Desktop. The updated configuration features the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ Pro 495 processor, which utilizes the Zen 5 architecture with 16 cores and 32 threads, reaching clock speeds up to 5.2 GHz.

A standout feature of this model is its support for up to 192 GB of LPDDR5X unified memory, providing a bandwidth of 273 GB/s. Because the CPU and Radeon 8065S integrated GPU share this same memory pool, the system is specifically optimized for heavy professional workloads, such as local AI model execution and content creation.

The 4.5-liter desktop includes a PCIe x4 slot, two M.2 SSD slots, and supports various cooling options, including a pre-installed Noctua NF-A12x25 HS-PWM fan. Pricing for the DIY edition starts at $6,799, with pre-configured versions available. The system supports both Windows 11 and Fedora, and includes modern connectivity such as Wi-Fi 7 and USB4 ports.
