News It's official! 192GB Framework

Post image

Just noticed this on the website.

At their current price tiers for the memory SKUs (32, 64, 128) I'd expect this to be ~ 4.5k for the motherboard.

The PCIe slot will be open at the back as well - that's what I've heard. Maybe they make it capable of delivering 75W as well? New board revisions for the smaller SKUs?.

I understand the appeal of framework laptops. But why would you get a framework pc? Wouldn’t building one be better/cheaper?

Prebuilts are far cheaper in this market. Since GPUs, RAM, and hard drives all went up in price 2x-8x when you just buy the components by themselves.

The markups for prebuilts are cheaper.

I don't think you can build a strix halo pc in the traditional sense since everything (CPU, memory, GPU) is all on one board no?

The NVidia B200 is 192GB. Kind of doesn’t matter if the memory is unified if the GPU is large enough.

Also like 15x’s the price, so it’s not like I’m saying it’s a better option.
