Would be kind of fun to see Apple put out a special edition Macbook that looks like this :D
 
Think my next game machine will have an APU, the stuff I play is ancient anyway so it would be enough..

AMD does have their Mega APU if you need something with a bit more Compute Power.

AMD Ryzen AI MAX+ 395 has 40 CU's, that's the most powerful APU you can buy now.

That's a laptop chip, I build my own machines so these aren't in the picture, think that the 8700G is at the moment the fastest APU you can buy for socket AM5, think it can run most of the things I need it to run, now if they would release one of those AI Max doohickies to AM5 I would actually be very interested. :D:mallory:

It might be 'Many Years' before "Strix Halo" hits AM5.

By that time, the new "Kracken Halo" might've surplanted it.

But that's sometime in the future.

For now, you have to get it in a LapTop format or get it from "FrameWork PC" to be built in a custom Mini-PC.

That's your current options for Top of the Line APU's.

That's wicked....... But did ETA Prime say that the ram is part of the APU? so the Framework has no ram slots?

Yes, so you have to pick your RAM amount now, at the time of purchase.

FrameWork didn't want to re-engineer the MoBo, so they did the quickest thing to get it into production.

Just Copy/Paste the ODM setup and did minimum work to modify it for a Mini-PC.

That's why their "Time to Market" is so fast.

It's fundamentally minimally changed to fit the Mini-PC form factor compared to the LapTop form factor.

Just with higher power limit, and superior cooling.

OH that's fair enough. I haven't seen Framework here in Australia and the prices to get them here are astronomically insane at the moment.

Imagine that APU in a laptop chassis with good cooling and that would rock

You can get the ASUS model, they're the main supplier at the moment.

But it's in the form of a "Surface Style" Convertible LapTop.

Thought AMD have released a AI infected chip, framework are in pre-release of a system built around it and the was a Level1Techs video on or is that not AM5?
 
According to duckduckgo it's another laptop chip..
So I guess that at the moment the 8700G would be the top desktop APU.
