Framework Computer opens pre-orders this Wednesday, September 30, 2026, in the morning Pacific Time for the Framework Desktop 192 GB with AMD’s Ryzen AI Max+ Pro 495. The roughly 4.5-liter mini PC jumps from 128 GB to 192 GB of LPDDR5X unified memory and targets people who want large local models at home.
What happened?
The company confirmed on X that reservations start this morning Pacific Time. The chip has 16 Zen 5 cores / 32 threads with boost up to 5.2 GHz, an integrated Radeon 8065S GPU with 40 RDNA 3.5 compute units and an NPU rated at up to 55 TOPS. Framework lists 131 TOPS of combined AI compute.
Unified memory reaches 192 GB at 273 GB/s. Up to 160 GB can be allocated to the GPU, versus a 96 GB cap on the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 128 GB model. Framework says the machine can run DeepSeek V4-Flash at Q8 with RAM left for extra context.
Why it matters
Local AI mini PCs now compete with Nvidia’s DGX Spark and other compact boxes. 192 GB of unified memory puts Framework ahead of the 128 GB ceiling on several rivals, which matters for dense models and long context. Pricing is still unpublished; Framework warns the 192 GB SKU will cost much more than the 32, 64 and 128 GB options amid rising LPDDR5X prices.
What changes in practice
The PCIe x4 slot is now open-ended for larger cards, a Noctua fan ships pre-installed and there is an optional Fedora pre-build. The rest stays Mini-ITX with a FlexATX PSU and official Windows and Linux support. Japan is not on the official direct-ship list. Buyers who mainly game have little reason to pay for 192 GB: the gain is model capacity, not frame rate.
