ezst036 Hopefully AMD makes some of these in a low power socketed configuration. AM5? AM4? Reply

Strix Halo is a "Quad" Channel config (256 bit connection) with LPDDR5X, so they'd need to rework the I/O die to make it work with a dual channel 128bit config in AM5 or AM4. Plus, the whole point of Halo is to have the monster bandwidth for the 40CU iGPU. You lose that, you miss the point of it. Regards. Reply
Gururu I'm getting so confused with so many upgrades, refreshes, iterations. Hopefully the hierarchy keeps them in line. Price links not working on many BTW. Reply

Yeah, they call that a Threadripper, minus the iGPU Threadripper Pro 7945WX for octa channel DDR5 Threadripper 7960X for quad channel DDR5. If you want Strix Halo in a desktop configuration, Framework has you covered. They don't have the 392+, but do have the 395+. Reply
