#2Pretty cool! This is significant because it’s Framework’s first 3rd party mainboard AND their first non-x86 mainboard.
Interesting that they’ve added RISC-V before ARM. Wonder if anyone’s working on that. There are so many ARM SBC designs out there, you’d think it would be straightforward (though obviously not trivial) to adapt one of those designs to the Framework mainboard format.

#4Well just pre-ordered the 120hz amd. If the RiscV drops in, I'm going to be very impressed.

Framework didn't do anything. They're just announcing what somebody else did, which was to make a motherboard that has a RISC-V processor in it, which fit a Framework laptop.

Building an ecosystem where this could just happen without their direct involvement isn’t nothing, and it is cool to see this proof of the concept.

You are correct. I should have said that Framework didn't build the board. They made its creation in that form factor possible.

> Framework didn't do anything.
I get your point, but there's simply no way this happened in a vacuum, at least not in this case. IMO it is far more important to acknowledge the things that Framework /did do/ in support of this project, even if a lot of that work simply came from properly publishing design specs, mechanical drawings, and other documentation. It's very encouraging to see Framework actively support and promote the 3rd party ecosystem around their products, designs, and specs.
