I thrive on discovering and sharing the latest innovations in technology, open-source software, and gaming, with a special focus on Linux. Since 2012, I've been fortunate enough to cover these discoveries professionally at Forbes.
There’s a powerful moment that happens every time you build your own PC. After your chosen components are slotted into place, every connection is double-checked, and each wire is neatly tucked away, you close the case and power on your new machine. Then you see that first loading screen, as a proud sense of ownership washes over you. It can be an addicting experience, but until last week I’d never enjoyed that experience.
Framework also sent an AMD Ryzen 7 7840U mainboard, enabling me to go hands-on with an Intel to AMD conversion. And while the Intel Core Ultra 7 system is what was embargoed, the AMD Ryzen 7 7840U version of the laptop will figure prominently into this review.

For the Core Ultra Series, Intel’s primary design considerations seemed to be power efficiency and a meaningful uplift in Iris Xe graphics performance. And of course, integration of AI capabilities. Now, this extends beyond just making Copilot more responsive or having the processing power to generate images locally instead of relying on cloud compute .
Geekbench 6 uses a variety of simulated workloads to measure the performance of a computer’s processor and memory. This makes it a useful tool for gauging how various machines might stack up against each other in real-world scenarios. Bookmarking the Geekbench 6 results are the first-generation Framework from 2021, and the late 2023 MacBook Pro with Apple’s M3 Pro processor.
Only a few short years ago, integrated GPUs were a joke, with laughable performance even in the lightest games. Back then, it was a major achievement to reach 30FPS at 720p. Things are decidedly different in 2024, with Intel’s Core Ultra 7 155H kicking outthe graphics performance compared to the Intel Core i7-1165G7 in the original Framework from 2021.
