Non-ECC memory. And into the trash it goes. Refer to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48969530
I understand their reasoning but it’s still a shame Framework opted for a proprietary motherboard instead of mini-ITX with a socket CPU and GPU. I value repairability over a little bit of extra performance.
Framework is going for a computer OEM market where they need to make margin, hence the soldered-on components and relatively limited options. People in the pre-built computer market overwhelmingly don't care about replaceable components, because anyone else will just buy components and build a PC, for both the greater market of options AND overall lower price than buying pre-built (if they don't overspec).
Woof. What's that going to cost? And will we actually be able to buy one, because the 128GB model has been sold out pretty much since the LLM craze started...

AI means it has npu, Max+ is marking the memory channel, PRO is a normal label for chips that have extra security baked in, it has been this way since forever. I don't see anything wrong with the name.
I have a framework desktop w/ 128GB that I bought last Christmas and if I’m looking at it right it costs $2000 (CAD) more now because of the RAM shortage (and in any event is apparently out of stock). Would love to have 192 GB but I’m not sure I can justify buying another. Does anyone have a sense of how this might progress, e.g if I can get a 256 or 512 GB in a year if I wait. In any case I’m jealous this exists and…
