Framework Desktop brings Ryzen AI Max, 192GB RAM, and local AI power to a compact system

Framework Desktop packs Ryzen AI Max, up to 192GB of RAM, and local AI into a mini PC

Framework has built a reputation for shipping things other PC makers won't even attempt, and its latest teaser keeps that streak alive. At AMD's Advancing AI event, the company previewed a new version of its Framework Desktop, and this one is clearly built with one goal in mind: running large AI models locally on your computer. If you have been eyeing a way to run local AI, this could be the machine to watch. So what's actually new here? The PC packs a Ryzen AI Max+ Pro 495 chip, which brings 16 full Zen 5 cores and a boost clock of 5.2 GHz. Paired with it is the Radeon 8065S, AMD's fastest integrated graphics chip yet, with 40 RDNA 3.5 compute units running at 3 GHz. Even without a dedicated GPU, this combo should handle AAA games at 1080p just fine. But the real headline feature is the massive 192GB of LPDDR5x RAM. Framework says this much memory should let you run hefty models like DeepSeek V4 Flash locally, with room left over for context length. There's also an open-ended PCIe x4 slot for bigger cards. For software, you can get Windows or a pre-built with Linux already installed. If that wasn't enough, Framework showed off a proof of concept where two of these desktops were connected using 50GbE networking cards. Doing this pools together 384GB of memory across both machines, which is wild for something this compact. How much will this cost you? Framework has warned that 192GB of RAM won't be cheap, and it will mark a big jump over current pricing. For context, the existing 128GB version with the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 costs $3,449 today, up from just $1,999 when it first launched back in February 2025, thanks to the rising RAM and storage costs. Given how RAM prices keep climbing, don't be shocked if this new 192GB model crosses the $4,500 mark. Framework hasn't shared official pricing or a release date yet, so for now, this remains a very tempting preview. If history is any indication, the wait might be worth it, even if your wallet feels it first.

Framework Previews Its AMD Ryzen AI MAX+ PRO 495 PC Desktop With 192 GB Unified Memory That Effortlessly Runs DeepSeek V4-Flash at Q8

Framework has previewed its upcoming Desktop featuring the AMD Ryzen AI MAX+ 495 chip with 192 GB memory that effortlessly runs DeepSeek V4-Flash. Framework's AMD Ryzen AI MAX+ 495 Desktop Makes Several Improvements Besides Packing A Massive 192 GB "Unified" Memory At AMD's Advancing AI 2026 event, Framework is previewing its upcoming Desktop PC that comes packed with the AMD Ryzen AI MAX+ 495 chip. This chip is an updated version of AMD's Ryzen AI MAX+ PRO 395, offering the same 16 Zen 5 cores but clocked at a higher 5.2 GHz frequency. The GPU is upgraded to the Radeon 8065S, which packs 40 RDNA 3.5 cores at 3.0 GHz. For memory, the system packs an astonishing 192 GB of Unified memory, operating at 273 GB/s (8533 MT/s LPDDR5X), which is a 6.6% speed-up in memory speeds & bandwidth, and a 50% boost to capacity versus the Ryzen AI MAX+ 395 systems, which offered 256 GB/s bandwidth & up to 128 GB capacities. According to Framework, the system is optimized for AI LLMs, running DeepSeek V4-Flash at Q8 on a single box, and there's room to spare for additional context length. There are also several other improvements made to the new Framework AMD Ryzen AI MAX+ 495 Desktop, such as the PCIe x4 slot being open-ended, which would allow users to plug in larger PCIe cards directly within the system. To showcase its open-ended PCIe slots, Framework set up a concept of a cluster using two 50 GbE NICs, which enable RDMA over Ethernet (RoCE). This offers ultra-low latency and makes it possible to effectively pool 384 GB of memory across two desktops with tensor parallelism. The company will also introduce a pre-built version with a Linux distro pre-loaded. Framework has stated that as LPDDR5X prices continue to rise, the 192 GB Ryzen AI MAX+ 495 system will bring a substantial jump in cost over the existing 128 GB model, and recommends picking up a 32GB, 64GB, or 128GB model based on your budget. AMD's Ryzen AI MAX+ 495 with 192 GB will eclipse existing 128 GB platforms such as NVIDIA's DGX Spark, which still retains 128 GB LP5X memory and costs close to $5000 US. The base price of the MAX+ 395 system from Framework is around $3500 US, and that's also what most 395+ PCs are selling for from other manufacturers. We expect a $ 5000+ US price for the 192 GB model when it hits retail later this year. Follow Wccftech on Google to get more of our news coverage in your feeds.
