The Ryzen AI Max+ 395 versions have a 16-core, 32-thread CPU, Radeon 8060S graphics with 40 graphics cores, and 64 GB or 128 GB of soldered, non-upgradeable LPDDR5x-8000 memory on a 256-bit bus. Framework's own table shows DeepSeek V4 Flash at UD-IQ2_XXS quantisation using 90.9 GB on the 128 GB model, and notes that results vary with quantisation, context length and runtime. A newer version with the Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 and 192 GB is also sold. AMD's ROCm 10.1.0 matrix lists the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 (Radeon 8060S) for Ubuntu 26.04.1 and 24.04.5 and for Windows 11 25H2. Framework publishes its own list of supported Linux distributions, with Linux kernel 6.11 as the minimum and 6.15 or later recommended. The Max+ 395 is sold as a DIY Edition: you bring your own operating system (Windows 11 is an optional extra) and can bring your own M.2 2280 NVMe drives for its two PCIe 4.0 slots. It has an included 400 W FlexATX power supply, and the processor runs at 120 W sustained and 140 W boost. USB4 and a PCIe x4 slot are offered for clustering several units. Caveat: check that your Linux distribution is on both Framework's supported list and AMD's ROCm matrix before relying on GPU compute. A 1 year limited warranty is included, extendable to 3 years. - Gearlist id: `framework-desktop`, for the MCP tool get_gear at https://gearlist.build/mcp ## What we checked - Last checked: 7 November 2026 - Source read: https://frame.work/products/desktop-diy-amd-aimax300 - How it was checked: Official product pages reviewed; not bought or tested Documentation checked means the source was read.
