Then why not pick a CPU that is socketable? There are dozens of them on the market that Framework could have picked for their Desktop product.
None of them have something even close to the memory bandwidth or integrated GPU performance of the Ryzen AI Max processors.
They want a Apple M_ Max like machine.
Why not put a big fat Ryzen 9 chip in it? Most people use their computer for browsing the web, playing some games, doing some spreadsheets. A standard CPU would have been more than powerful enough for that and the Desktop would be more repairable.
There's a million machines that are just as upgradeable as anything Framework could make if you just want a big fat Ryzen 9.
