Pretty disappointing. The 12 might be interesting, not enough details yet.

No OLED yet is lame

But.... A desktop that's less repairable than a regular desktop???? Why lol?

Less repairable than a regular desktop, more comparable than any comparable desktops.

Can I buy the motherboard separately and use my own case though? This seems like something AMD could of released themselves 🤷🏻

[–] HomoHorticulturist@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 month ago

yes, you will be able to at launch

[–] priapus@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They could and might eventually, but they aren't available right now, and I haven't found any announcements that they will be. Even then, we don't know what the price point will be. In many cases right now, prebuilts are not much more expensive than custom PCs.

i don't either. all I'm saying is that they currently aren't available.

Half of the time they spent talking about the Framework Desktop was about AI, so that is probably why.

[–] David_Eight@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Is that something people have been asking for? Wouldn't a full blown desktop with more powerful GPU be preferred for AI?

[–] priapus@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Not for the same price, form factor, or power efficiency

[–] David_Eight@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Isn't it just a mini-ITX case essentially? AMD could of just sold the motherboard themselves right, that's the important part of the equation? Am I missing something?

[–] priapus@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They might eventually, but as of right now they aren't.

[–] SatyrSack@feddit.org 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They mentioned something to the effect of that chip being preferable for AI because of how its 128 GB of memory is so tightly integrated directly into the processor.

[–] David_Eight@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

So AMD is exclusively selling these through Framework for some reason? Like it still seems like a desktop with less options. I could already buy mini-ITX cases, why didn't AMD just release the boards themselves?
