Framework 13 AMD: Due for a refresh? (lemmy.world)

I'm curious about when we might see the next AMD refresh for the Framework Laptop 13. The current top-spec option is the Ryzen 7 7840U, which was introduced in early 2023 and started shipping in Q3 2023. Given AMD's latest offerings and Framework's history of timely updates, soon we might expect to see a new mainboard featuring AMD's newer CPUs, like those from the Ryzen 8040 series or the upcoming Ryzen 9000 series.

  • Ryzen 7 7840U:
    • Architecture: Zen 4
    • Cores/Threads: 8/16
    • Base/Boost Clock: 3.3 GHz / 5.1 GHz
    • TDP: 15-28W
    • Integrated GPU: Radeon 780M

Potential New CPUs:

  • Ryzen 8040 Series: Higher base and boost clocks, improved power efficiency, and enhanced RDNA 2 or RDNA 3 integrated graphics.
  • Ryzen 9000 Series: Zen 5 architecture, up to 16 cores and 32 threads, improved AI processing capabilities, and better power efficiency.

Framework has consistently updated its laptops with the latest Intel and AMD CPUs, so it seems we might be due for a refresh soon.

What are your expectations for the next AMD mainboard refresh?

That's unfortunate to hear about the 8840u.

I want to purchase an AMD Framework 13, but I would rather wait for the next release to get something as new as possible.

You could get it now and upgrade the CPU when it releases
