Quote from: opckieran on March 04, 2025, 14:59:12I'm guessing a 50% wider bus is gonna bring additional memory channel(s)?

Four channels on Strix Halo, 256 bit to 384 bit is a 50% uplift, so still four channels. 🤪

That's 6 channels...

Been waiting for too long for my dream silent gaming HTPC mini-PC (though this is more of a SFF-PC), so... I went all in towards the Framework Desktop (128 GB RAM version, for sh¡ts and giggles) and if I'm happy with it, I might upgrade to whatever Medusa Halo's successor is in the future (being Framework, it should be easy!)

Don't tell me about this news so soon after!

I heard they were trying to cut an 8 core die down to 4 cores to save costs but ended up with these instead.

This is the equivalent of the Apple MX Ultra, but much better for overall usability
