• Need a 2TB M.2 2230 SSD for your Steam Deck or Surface Pro?  Framework has them.  (Frame.work)
  
  Yes, the laptop company.  No, the laptop doesn't use 2230 drives - they'll fit but won't lock into place - but since they already buy tons of SSDs and 2230 drives are hard to find at retail, why not make a few bucks selling just the SSDs?

  That's not amazing, but it's not completely terrible.  Except that makes it less than 20% faster than AMD's Ryzen 7950X or Intel's own 13900K, and it will be a lot more than 20% more expensive.
  
  
  
• Those Xeon W CPUs have power ratings up to 350W, which is a lot.  (WCCFTech)
  
  But this is Intel, and their 125W CPUs use up to 300W already.  The 350W models use 600W, or 900W if you over clock them.
  
  Toasty.
