In addition to harnessing the power of AMD Ryzen™ and Radeon™ technology, we have collaborated closely with AMD as part of the esteemed AMD Advantage program to develop this remarkable product. The Framework Laptop 16 employs AMD Ryzen™ 7040 Series processors, the latest generation also featured in the Framework Laptop 13 (AMD Ryzen™ 7040 Series), but this time with HS-class components meticulously optimized for gaming and content creation. The configurations commence with the formidable Ryzen™ 7 7840HS, boasting 8 Zen 4 CPU cores capable of a remarkable boost frequency of up to 5.1GHz. For those who aspire for peak performance, we also provide the exceptional Ryzen™ 9 7940HS, a processor of immense power with a staggering boost clock reaching up to 5.2GHz.
In collaboration with Cooler Master, we have meticulously engineered a sophisticated thermal system for the laptop, incorporating dual 75mm fans, three heatpipes, and a liquid metal thermal interface. This ensures optimal cooling efficiency even under the demanding load of a sustained 45W processor, while simultaneously maintaining a serene and pleasurable user experience. Moreover, the laptop delivers unparalleled graphics performance with the Radeon 780M graphics, equipped with an impressive 12 RDNA 3 cores, enabling seamless gameplay across a wide spectrum of contemporary titles.
If you require even greater graphics capabilities, the Framework Laptop 16 offers the ultimate solution for high-performance notebooks: optional discrete graphics through our new Expansion Bay system, allowing for generation-over-generation graphics upgradeability. The first Graphics Module available for the Expansion Bay features the AMD Radeon™ RX 7700S GPU. We have pushed the limits of this chip, providing it with a sustained TGP of 100W and 8GB GDDR6 memory clocked at up to 18Gbps. Thanks to the dedicated heatsink and high CFM fans in the Graphics Module, both the CPU and GPU can operate at their maximum wattage simultaneously when required. This GPU excels in both professional tasks and gaming, boasting 32 compute units running at speeds of up to 2.2GHz. It delivers an exceptional gaming experience, handles rendering and encoding with remarkable efficiency, and provides excellent acceleration for AI and other demanding applications.
