I’d like to join the Framework family, but it seems silly to me to buy a pretty expensive laptop with a 2 generations old CPU

I feel the same way. I’ve been excited about the project for over a year and want to buy a new laptop this year - one with AMD Strike with AI. When can I expect it to arrive here? Or do I have to switch to other manufacturers? Unfortunately, I won’t be buying a CPU that’s 2 generations old.

Two generations sounds a lot, but it is just one year.

I will be available for Framework Laptop 13?
we don’t know yet
Now, this September 2024 will starting shipping Intel Core Ultra 7 165H, I wonder will ever have the AMD Ryzen Ai version?
Multiple threads here already, and we just don’t know.
FW will inform if/when they decide to upgrade the AMD platform.

Perhaps frame.work is waiting for the PRO version of these APUs, along with the hopefully ROCm compatible 7800m gpu?
3 months after the first wave which has not started yet.
Is that a rumor or just your guess ? Do you have any source ?
I’m really interested to work with rocm on my FW16 machine.
I was happy to hear about the first bits of Ryzen Ai in the initial 7040 serie but the reality is something else with almost no consumer hardware support (yet)…
I would love to see such product as I would need it for my work from the coming monthes ahead. 
I would definitely upgrade (even at a high cost) my actual components and sell back the not so old stuff… But the opposite is also true. I can wait my electronic to die in order to upgrade for a good reason.
I’ve waited 10y to change my previous laptop …
Framework Team ? 
Even worse: wishful thinking, but not entirely unrealistic. Facts are that a 7800m is coming and it would make sense for it to support ROCm. Fact is that Ryzen 9 ai hx 370 PRO are coming and frame.work has been very quiet about the next amd board, which would make sense if it uses an unannounced Apu, such as the PRO version of strix point.
Time will tell.

I’d definitely be happy if ROCm was supported. Would make the new Mainboard an instant update for me…but yeah, we’ll see if we get those.
Actually, ROCm runs just fine on the 780M (and a host of other cards not technically on the support list), there are just a few configuration foibles to deal with. E.g., on Windows/Visual Studio, you need to explicitly add the gfx1103 target to the compiler options, and on Linux, you may need to prefix your command with HSA_OVERRIDE_GFX_VERSION=11.0.0 (to fake certain finicky programs into treating your card as if it were a 7900XTX instead).
