Framework just announced their Desktop computer: an AI powerhorse?

Recently I've seen a couple of people online trying to use Mac Studio (or clusters of Mac Studio) to run big AI models since their GPU can directly access the RAM. To me it seemed an interesting idea, but the price of a Mac studio make it just a fun experiment rather than a viable option I would ever try.

Now, Framework just announced their Desktop compurer with the Ryzen Max+ 395 and up to 128GB of shared RAM (of which up to 110GB can be used by the iGPU on Linux), and it can be bought for something slightly below €3k which is far less than the over €4k of the Mac Studio for apparently similar specs (and a better OS for AI tasks)

What do you think about it?

'Wonder how it will compare to NVIDIA Digits on price

Update: Depending on specs, it's priced similar it seems - approx. 3000 EUR for a decent complete prosumer build.

Update 2: Holy boaty, it's modular and supports third-party hardware: https://frame.work/dk/en/products/desktop-mainboard-amd-ai-max300?v=FRAMBM0006

Perhaps I'm mistaken but I read this as "Nvidia takes 3k just for the chip" and framework "2,5k for the whole system"?

Either way exciting news for self hoster in the next years!
