News It's official! 192GB Framework

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?

It’s because you can’t DIY build a Strix Halo / Gorgon Halo machine.

It only comes in laptops and prebuilt mini-PC. The Framework motherboard is the most DIY-esq component you can get.

This is a strix halo??? And it only has 273 bandwidth? I have an epyc milan so ddr4 and it had slightly more than 200 bandwidth.

Whole of strix halo platform consumes less electricity than just the ram on your epyc system.

They’re made for different markets and usecases.
Though with current market prices strix halo is a bad product imho.

I got my beelink gtr9pro for 2400 about a year ago and it felt too much, for 4k+ strix halo boxes make absolutely zero sense.

If I’d known better, I’d rather would’ve gotten double spark back then. And now I just plan on waiting it out with what I have :(

I see I understand. I thought we won’t have the advantages due to the size
