Framework Desktop Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 192GB - new premium SKU (Dec-2026 spot)

RETAIL configured-system price. $6,799 = a NEW premium Framework Desktop PRO 495 SKU at 192GB Strix Halo spotted mid-run by the research-price-refresh subagent (2026-10-14), positioned above the $1,999 128GB model. The exact product URL was lost when the subagent's browse session died, so this is recorded at lower confidence pending re-fetch of the Framework configurator page. CONFLICT FLAG: this figure differs sharply from supply/new-framework-desktop-strix-halo-192gb-pro-495 ($3,750, the research-range midpoint for a 192GB PRO 495) - the two may be different configurations (PRO 495 vs a higher-bin or differently-optioned SKU) or the $3,750 estimate may be stale. Treat as contested until the Framework page is re-fetched. PERISHABLE-FIGURE STAMP: OBSERVED 2026-10-14. RE-VERIFY BY: 2027-01-14.

lead_time_weeks is null and availability is 'unknown' because the source URL was lost before stock status could be confirmed; re-fetch required.

If $6,799 is the real 192GB PRO 495 price, the 'biggest Strix Halo capacity' value argument weakens materially - it would sit ~$1,400 under a used Mac Studio M2 Ultra 192GB's ~$3,200-4,200 only if the Framework figure were ~$3,750; at $6,799 it is ABOVE the used-Apple capacity play and the case for it rests on x86/Linux + the PRO feature set rather than $/GB. NEEDS RE-FETCH: the Framework Desktop configurator (frame.work/desktop) is the authoritative URL; the subagent lost it. Do not quote this figure in a doc until a data/sources entry for the Framework page confirms the exact SKU and price.
