Coreboot

Coreboot is a free and open-source firmware replacement for proprietary BIOS/UEFI. It provides fast boot times, enhanced security through verified boot, and complete transparency of the firmware stack. Multiple porting efforts target Framework laptops, covering both AMD and Intel models.

Framework Desktop (AMD Ryzen AI Max, 2025)

The Framework Desktop is a Mini-ITX workstation announced at the 2nd Gen event in February 2025. It features an AMD Strix Halo APU and is designed to be modular, containing two front-side expansion card slots as seen in Framework's laptop models. The front panel has slots for 21 interchangeable tiles for user customization. Pre-orders opened February 25, 2025 with shipping planned for Q3 2025. Memory is soldered LPDDR5x (non-upgradeable).

Framework Laptop 13 (AMD Ryzen 7040, 2023)

Announced in March 2023 alongside the 13th Gen Intel model, the AMD Ryzen 7040 variant was Framework's first AMD-powered laptop. Initial shipments were delayed due to electrical and firmware issues. The AMD variant showed additional battery life, better performance, less heat, and lower fan noise when idle compared to Intel models, leading some to suggest it rendered Intel models obsolete. It features RDNA 3 integrated graphics.

Framework Laptop 13 (AMD Ryzen AI 300, 2025)

Announced in February 2025, this is the latest Framework Laptop 13 model featuring AMD's Zen 5-based Ryzen AI 300 series processors with RDNA 3.5 integrated graphics. It supports up to 96 GB of DDR5 memory and introduces a new 2.8K 120 Hz IPS display option. The design retains Framework's emphasis on modularity, with most parts compatible with earlier releases. DIY edition starts at $899, pre-built at $1,099.

Framework Laptop 16 (AMD Ryzen 7040, 2024)

The Framework Laptop 16 is a larger, performance-oriented laptop announced at the Next Level event in March 2023. It features an expansion bay that can attach PCIe components such as a dedicated GPU, a fully customizable keyboard with interchangeable input modules and optional numpad, and 6 expansion card slots. Initially planned to ship in Q4 2023, it began shipping in February 2024 with AMD Ryzen 7040 series processors. It was named a TIME Best Invention of 2023.

Framework Laptop 16 (AMD Ryzen AI 300, 2025)

Announced in August 2025, the second generation Framework Laptop 16 features AMD's Zen 5-based Ryzen AI 300 series processors. It adds an optional Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 expansion bay GPU module with 8 GB GDDR7, which is backwards compatible with the 2024 model. Shipments began in December 2025 (delayed from the original November target).
