Framework Launches Pre-Orders for 192GB Ryzen AI Max+ 495 Desktop Amidst Rising Memory Costs

Framework has confirmed that pre-orders for its updated small-form-factor desktop, powered by the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 495 processor, will open on September 30, 2026. The system features 192 GB of unified LPDDR5X memory, a significant increase from the previous 128 GB limit, and is optimized for local AI workloads. While the chassis and motherboard remain unchanged to ensure backward compatibility, the new chip offers higher clock speeds and improved memory bandwidth. Pricing is expected to exceed $6,000 due to rising memory costs, positioning it as a premium option against competitors like NVIDIA’s DGX Spark.

iPhone 18 Pro Chip Leak Signals Major GPU and Memory Upgrades

An alleged solder-joint diagram of Apple’s A20 Pro chip suggests the iPhone 18 Pro will feature a two-core CPU for performance cores and four for efficiency cores, a seven-core GPU, a 96-bit LPDDR5x memory interface (up from 64-bit), and larger L2 caches (8MB for efficiency cores vs. 6MB on the A19 Pro, with 16MB on the performance cores). The wider memory bus and extra GPU cores are expected to boost graphics and memory bandwidth, and Apple is likely to debut the A20 Pro in the iPhone 18 Pro/Max and possibly a foldable iPhone next week.

Framework Laptop 13 Pro delivers long battery life but at a steep price

Framework’s Laptop 13 Pro finally delivers notably better battery life thanks to a larger 74Wh battery and a Core Ultra Series 3/LPCAMM2 RAM setup, plus a touchscreen and refined build, but the upgrade comes at a premium price driven by RAM shortages and new module formats. Upgrading older Laptop 13 units is possible but requires replacing multiple parts (battery, bottom case, keyboard cover) and can push the total cost into premium territory, making it a strong but expensive option for existing owners and Linux enthusiasts alike.

Samsung to Equip Apple's Foldable iPhone with 12GB RAM Amid DRAM Tightening

Apple’s first foldable iPhone will use 12GB of RAM supplied by Samsung, with DRAM shipments set to begin in Q2 2026 as Apple aligns production; Samsung reportedly negotiated a higher price due to tight memory supply from the AI server boom, leading Apple to shift more RAM orders to Samsung for predictable deliveries, though SK hynix and Micron are expected to contribute later. The book-style device is said to have a 4:3 aspect ratio and is slated to launch in September alongside the iPhone 18 Pro/Max.

Apple's MacBook Neo Ships with 8GB RAM Due to A18 Pro Packaging

Apple unveiled the low-cost MacBook Neo starting at $599 in the U.S., but the device is limited to 8 GB of RAM with no upgrade options. The RAM cap stems from the A18 Pro SoC being packaged with memory directly above it using TSMC’s Integrated Fan-Out Package on Package (InFO-PoP), reducing PCB area and keeping costs down. The 8 GB LPDDR5X memory modules are integrated into the package, and Apple says macOS memory management remains adequate for this configuration, though the RAM limit has drawn criticism.
