The Framework Laptop 13 (2025) is available with the following CPUs:
- AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 (6 cores/12 threads, up to 4.8GHz)
- AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 (8 cores/16 threads, up to 5.0GHz)
- AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 (12 cores/24 threads, up to 5.1GHz)
These are hybrid CPUs with a mix of Zen 5 cores and Zen 5c efficiency cores. The Ryzen AI 5 and 7 are part of AMD’s Krackan Point lineup of mid-tier mobile processors for ultraportable laptops. The former has three Zen 5 and three Zen 5c cores, while the latter has four Zen 5 and four Zen 5c cores. The Ryzen AI 9 HX, on the other hand, is from AMD’s Strix Point lineup of CPUs and has four Zen 5 and eight Zen 5c cores. All CPU options have Ryzen AI neural processing units (NPUs) powered by XDNA architecture with a rated performance of 50 TOPS (Trillions of Operations Per Second).
Depending on which one you choose, these CPUs are designed for a range of tasks, from light general productivity like web browsing and text processing to more demanding tasks like programming and video editing. The Ryzen AI 5 or 7 are likely fast enough for most people with a general productivity-oriented workload and some medium-intensity tasks. The Ryzen AI 9 is significantly faster than the other two, so it’s the better choice if you have a more demanding workload or are a heavy multitasker.
