Framework most recently announced that it worked for two years in order to organize a series of major announcements for customers not just as a gimmick. The company made significant strides in its commitment to expanding its consumer-friendly, right-to-repair philosophy to more product categories within the PC market.
At this time, and not just traditional and 2-in-1 laptops, Framework is venturing into an area aligned with more recent aspirations, a mini desktop PC powered by AMDs ground-breaking ‘Strix Halo’ Ryzen AI Max processors.
Indeed, Framework is entering the desktop PC arena, an area which originally inspired the very concept of Framework Laptops. Here it comes with one of the biggest and most excitingly transformative processors we have seen in many years.
The term ‘transformative’ lives with the chip industry all around and with Framework itself. Nirav Patel, founder of Framework, recalls seeing AMD’s Ryzen AI Max put on its impressive show just a little over a year ago.
He says, “We instantly recognized the need to incorporate it.” Accordingly, the company had to modify its engineering plans to consider this technology. Having reviewed the Asus ROG Flow Z13, one can see what impassioned Patel’s enthusiasm.
The high-end Ryzen AI Max+ 395 sports truly impressively graphics-friendly figures for a processor equipped with an integrated GPU. Already in one generation, when will APUs be able to reliably achieve 60FPS gaming at 1080p? The answer is moot; they do so easily, exceeding 60FPS with demanding titles like Black Myth: Wukong and Cyberpunk 2077 at 1440p on high settings.
The integrated graphics performance of the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 pertains to that of Nvidia’s standalone RTX 4070 laptop GPU, enabling gamers to enjoy their gaming experience comfortably at both 1080p and 1440p.
As far as Framework is concerned, an advanced AI tool such as OpenAI must not be exchanged for use by users without getting data forfeited to it.
