The Framework Desktop We Haven’t Told You About Is Getting 192 GB of Memory

Framework Desktop AI PC 192 GB

The Framework Desktop, an AI PC, already stuffs an unreasonable amount of computer into a 4.5-liter box. Yes. It is that tiny. Powered by AMD Ryzen AI Max processors, it offers up to 16 CPU cores, Radeon 8060S graphics, and 128 GB of LPDDR5x memory for gaming, local AI work, and opening enough browser tabs to become a cry for help.

Despite its size, it still behaves like a Framework product. The Mini-ITX Mainboard, FlexATX power supply, 120 mm fan, storage, and Expansion Cards can be replaced, while 21 front tiles let you decorate the machine like a tiny wall in a very nerdy bathroom. You also choose which ports occupy its Expansion Card slots, so there is no need to accept somebody else’s idea of sufficient USB.

The latest development is an upcoming 192 GB model. It gains the Ryzen AI Max PRO 495+ processor, faster 8,533 MT/s memory, an open-ended x4 PCIe slot for high-speed networking, and optional preloaded Linux. Framework says it can run enormous models such as the 284-billion-parameter DeepSeek-V4-Flash locally.

Pricing and availability for the 192 GB configuration remain under wraps, with further details promised later in 2026. Meanwhile, if 192 GB is not what you need, you can configure the Framework Desktop with 32, 64, or 128 GB. But be warned: repairability does not come cheap.

The 32 GB configuration starts at US$1,269, the 64 GB configuration at US$1,959, and the 128 GB configuration at the grand sum of US$3,449 and up. You still need to add primary storage, optional secondary storage if you require it, an OS, a CPU fan, a power cable, and Expansion Cards if you need them. If you want to be fancy, certain side panels cost extra, as does the optional Desktop Handle.
