Is that something people have been asking for? Wouldn't a full blown desktop with more powerful GPU be preferred for AI?

Not for the same price, form factor, or power efficiency

Isn't it just a mini-ITX case essentially? AMD could of just sold the motherboard themselves right, that's the important part of the equation? Am I missing something?

They might eventually, but as of right now they aren't.

They mentioned something to the effect of that chip being preferable for AI because of how its 128 GB of memory is so tightly integrated directly into the processor.

So AMD is exclusively selling these through Framework for some reason? Like it still seems like a desktop with less options. I could already buy mini-ITX cases, why didn't AMD just release the boards themselves?
