Framework Desktop With 192GB And Ryzen AI Max+ Pro 495 Now Up For Preorder

Framework has begun taking preorders for a new 192GB variant of the Framework Desktop, featuring the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ Pro 495 chipset. The Gorgon Halo APU, which the Pro 495 is built upon, boasts a 16-core, 32-thread design with a base clock of 3.1GHz and a boost clock of 5.2GHz. The iGPU within is a Radeon 8065S based on the RDNA3.5 architecture, boasting 40 compute units.

To manage heat generation, a Noctua NF-A12x25 HS-PWM fan, rated for small form factor systems, is included. The desktop provides two M.2 SSD slots, a 4x PCIe slot, two USB4 ports, two USB-A ports, two expansion card slots, and dual DisplayPort 2.1 and HDMI 2.1 ports. It also features a 3.5mm audio jack, a 5Gbps LAN port, and Wi-Fi 7.

Prices for the 192GB configuration begin at US$6,799 (~RM27,790), though this price excludes storage options which cost between US$135 (~RM551) for 500GB and US$2,269 (~RM9,274) for the maximum capacity. Sandisk's PCIe 4.0 SSDs power these options, and a one-year warranty is included. However, Framework does not ship to Malaysia, and interested customers will need to procure the desktop via grey market channels or to a country included in their shipping range.
