No Strix Halo is very disapointing.

Unless you want nerfed GPU performance due to lower memory bandwidth, adding Strix Halo to the existing motherboard design doesn't sound like a good idea.

I don't mind, it is still better than the current processors they have as an option, not just in gpu but cpu too.

Yeah, the cooling would also be insufficient for Strix Halo.

I wish there was a double fan 14" Framework design with Strix Halo.
