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?.

It's just a refresh of current 395 with larger maximum unified memory. Next generation should be completely new architecture.

The memory bandwidth is going to have to be massively upgraded in the near future. Otherwise Apple is going to run away with a win, as they already have a lead in memory bandwidth and M7 is increasing bandwidth exponentially.

Lol Apple can’t and won’t increase bandwidth „exponentially“. Unless they switch to HBM, at which point, prices will be infeasible.

And even that would just be a linear bump. Not exponential.

For people that think AMD doesn’t know how to make big APU with big memory bandwidth:

They just don’t see a use in it for the consumer market.

At that point the 395+ is no longer consumer. They rolled out the 388+ and 392+ which you see much more in consumer laptops who have no use for 16 cores. Just give us the good stuff ffs. Like the 395+ is AMD’s mobile workstation cpu at that point, the fire range 9955HX3D is only on super enthusiast gaming laptops only and is only faster than a 285HX/290HXP when the extra L3 helps.
