Framework 13 with Ryzen AI: The Good, the Bad & the Battery

Video Description

In this video, I upgrade my Framework Laptop 13 with the new AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 mainboard featuring RDNA 3.5 Radeon 860M graphics and 66 TOPS of NPU performance. I compare it directly against the Ryzen 7 7840U, Intel i7-1260P, and i7-1165G7 mainboards to see how it stacks up in CPU benchmarks, GPU performance, AI workloads, and battery life. If you're considering a Framework 13 mainboard upgrade in 2025, this deep dive covers everything—from Geekbench and 3DMark to real-world tests like Photoshop, MS Office, and more. Is Ryzen AI 300 series worth it?
