Tariffs mean US pricing/availability for some Framework parts is still in flux.

Due to the new tariffs that came into effect on April 5th, we’re temporarily pausing US sales of a few of our base Framework Laptop 13 systems (Ultra 5 125H and Ryzen 5 7640U).

For now, these models will be removed from our US site.

We will continue to provide updates as we have them.

In this video, we're comparing AMD's in-game frame generation, its AFMF (Advanced Fluid Motion Frames) solution, and FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) against "native" rendering in modern games. Testing includes FSR4 vs. FSR 3.1, AFMF 2.0 vs. 2.1 and in game frame generation, and more. While we talk about DLSS (DLSS4) and Frame Generation or MFG, this is not intended to compare NVIDIA to AMD technologies; instead, we're first focusing all of the "air time" on each technology individually. We may later do a comparison piece if there's interest. You can find our versions of this for DLSS below. Testing was performed on an AMD RX 9070 XT and RX 7900 XTX, with drivers and resolutions defined in the methodology section of the video. Our prior NVIDIA tests included RTX 5080, 5090, and prior generation testing.

Preorders won’t start April 9th as originally announced.

In today’s AI-driven world, the ability to train AI models locally and perform fast inference on GPUs at an optimal cost is more important than ever. Building your own GPU server with an RTX 4090 or RTX 5090 — like the one described here — enables a high-performance eight-GPU setup running on PCIe 5.0 with full x16 lanes. This configuration ensures maximum interconnect speed for all eight GPUs. In contrast, most similar setups are limited by the PCIe bus version (such as PCIe 4.0 or even lower), due to the challenges of running longer PCIe extensions.

• Our research indicate that AMD’s 9070 series cards did not release to a paper launch
• The downside is that we noticed partner model cards are noticeably becoming more expensive over base MSRP
• Unfortunately, this price increase is looking like it’s becoming the new normal
