Whether it’s on Linux or Windows, I just want to know if it is compatible as I’ve reached out to Framework support and their answer was pretty cautious, they weren’t sure that was the case and I do understand that it’s best to be cautious rather than saying it will work probably out of the box.
Better test than be sorry.
Thanks for any help or clarification regarding this matter.
Ryzen Ai max mainboards will not be released with Framework laptop 13. Did you want to create this thread under Framework Desktop category or did you mean AMD Ryzen AI 300 Series processors?
Yes I apologize for the mistake I meant Ryzen AI Max 300 series processors
Thanks for the clarification!
Checking this with the engineers, looks like we have tested the new mainboards with Wifi 6E RZ616 card and it was compatible 
Trying to learn more about it, if it’s fully compatible, we’ll adjust the compatibility on the marketplace side and Wifi 6E RZ616 will be listed under parts compatible with Ryzen AI 300 Series mainboards.
Hey @Destroya
Thanks a lot for your answer, would you by change any news to share or update ? If not it’s totally alright.
We are a bit busy with the tariff related updates right now but can confirm that RZ616 is compatible with Ryzen AI 300 Series.
Hey just thought I’d share this post as this is related to my question but it isn’t an official confirmation.
Des’s answer is significantly more reliable than mine. In general, a WiFi card is a WiFi card (absent the Intel 201/211 cards which only work with Intel CPUs) but some weird firmware stuff is always possible. I think this is more of a case of “it appears to work but we haven’t done extensive testing,” which makes sense.
My old AX210 is working just fine with a shiny new HX 370 mainboard. Performance is as expected.
Framework has tested the RZ616 with the AI 300 mainboards. Also works.
The AX201 and AX211 that came with some older Framework 13 systems won’t work; those depend on some support that is only available in Intel CPUs. Nor will Intel’s new BE200 WiFi 7 card. Others have been saying good things about a Qualcomm WiFi 7 card.
Has anyone tested that jet? Afaik we don’t know what is actually wrong with it so it may jest as well be the be200 sending something wrong as it could be the amd platform throwing a fit about something perfectly valid so it is possible that is fixed on the new platform.
There are now reports here of the BE200 not working with the AI 300 mainboard. I don’t expect that fixing the problem is a high priority at Intel.
This is likely something amd would need to fix even if it is intels fault.
Intel may fix this in the be210 (assuming they aren’t in the mood to mess with the naming scheme again).
Not necessarily. It’s possible that Intel broke AMD compatibility intentionally. It would be the first time; remember the scandal when their compiler was discovered to be producing pessimized code for AMD processors?
Even if that was the case they could not fix it anymore at this point. I am currently going with mistake over malice but either way this will likely need intervention on amds side to make them work since it crashes way too early to load some fixed firmware or anything.
