RAM compatibility for the new Framework 16 laptop

Is there any news or deadline foreseen on information about RAM compatibility for the new laptop 16? There is a topic in the support knowledge base (last updated in august) but that is for the previous version.

Should we revert back to the kingston and crucial modules?

Should we again check they are standard JECED rated?

When will Framework itself list compatible modules?

based on the topics from Forum, you should avoid Kingston Fury CL 40. New AMD needs CL46 RAM, see following topics for more details [Solved] Framework 13 AI 9 300 series DIY - No display output during first installation and System doesn't boot with new Kingston FURY Impact DDR5 5600 MHz CL40 SO-DIMM 32GB

The CL40 vs. CL46 is not necessarily true. The second link (in which it seems the user replaced 2x16gb Kingston Fury 5600mhz SO-DIMM with 2x32GB Kingston Fury 5600mhz SO-DIMM RAM) does continue the trend from the first link - the Kingston Fury 2x16gb cards seemed to be problematic for the Ryzen AI 300 boards in FW13s - but I’m looking at what Kingston sells and it seems the 2x16 and 2x32 packs are both CL40. There may be other Kingston Fury packs that I’m missing - please correct me if you see something else! Regardless, it seems like without further info, the 2x16 pack in particular should be avoided for the moment.
