On September 30, Framework formally commenced reservations for its latest Framework Desktop. This desktop is outfitted with an AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 processor and is specifically tailored for local AI computation. Notwithstanding the steep starting price of $6,799 for the DIY version, the entire first batch of products was snapped up within mere hours. This phenomenon underscores the robust market appetite for high-capacity unified memory, which is essential for running sizable AI models locally.
