FW16 Batch 12 Guild

Hi from France,

Checking in with a DIY Ryzen 9 7840HS, RX 7700S, 16GB RAM, 1TB and 2TB SSD, num pad and some expansion card.

Currently, I have a Lenovo Thinkpad T440p with an i7-4600M, 16 GB and an Nvidia GT730M

I’m really looking forward to receiving my FW16

Some Batch 7 folks are getting their emails. That means 4 more batches to get their emails, and then it’s our turn!

Seems more and more likely we’ll get our emails 1st or 2nd week of May crosses fingers

Here is the spreadsheet I made when the batch 6ers got their first notice, with some enhancements.

Well, Batch 12ers, according to the https://community.frame.work/t/batch-shipment-chart/47120/58 thread, it looks like we should get our prayer email, I mean our preparation email at the end of April, so around 10-14 days earlier than I was expecting … :pray:

get your wallets ready folks … :+1: :+1: :+1:

[translation] finally with the acceleration of deliveries, we will be delivered not that far from Q1. it’s still acceptable promises for a laptop so complex to make

Yeah, from a (roughly) 4 month delay in starting first batch deliveries (assuming Batch 1 was to deliver at beginning of Q4 2023) they are now only around one month late. That is really pulling back on the delay, although in the progress emails they did say that with having got the FL13 AMD out of the way before Christmas, they would have much more production capacity to deal with the FL16, and so it has proven to be - and that is also despite an earthquake in Taiwan.

Is it really possible to go up to 128GB??

Currently no, there are at the largest 48GB SODIMMs on the market, and since the FW 16 only has 2 SODIMM slots, max you can go is 96GB right now. I think there are some plans for 64GB SODIMMs, and while the 7040 series supports 256GB, and it’s likely 2x64GB will work, we’ll need to wait until some come out.
