Framework has confirmed a 192GB memory configuration of its Framework Desktop mini-ITX PC, built around AMD's Ryzen AI Max+ Pro 495 chip, aimed squarely at developers and enthusiasts who want to run large AI models locally rather than in the cloud. Preorders for this configuration open September 30.
Framework has confirmed a 192GB memory configuration of its Framework Desktop, a mini-ITX small form factor PC built around AMD's Ryzen AI Max+ Pro 495 processor. According to HotHardware, preorders for this configuration open on September 30, using the same standard mini-ITX case and FlexATX power supply as the existing Framework Desktop lineup, with an open-ended PCIe x4 slot for adding larger cards down the line.
The headline feature is the 192GB of LPDDR5X-8533 memory, which Framework says delivers 273GB/s of bandwidth. Up to 160GB of that pool can be addressed by the system's integrated Radeon 8065S GPU, which packs 40 RDNA 3.5 Compute Units. Digital Trends reports Framework specifically pitched this configuration around running large language models like DeepSeek V4 Flash locally, with enough headroom left over for extended context length — a workload normally reserved for machines with dedicated, expensive GPUs or cloud compute rental.
Framework also demonstrated networking two of these desktops together over 50GbE, effectively pooling 384GB of memory across both machines, according to Digital Trends. That's a notable feat for a system this compact and points to Framework targeting AI developers and enthusiasts rather than mainstream gamers with this particular configuration.
Official pricing for the 192GB model hasn't been announced. For context, Digital Trends notes the existing 128GB Framework Desktop configuration with the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 currently sells for $3,449, up from its original $1,999 launch price in February 2025, and pricing for the 192GB version is expected to be higher still once preorders open.
