FAQ
Is the memory soldered?
Yes. These Strix Halo / Ryzen AI Max+ machines use soldered unified memory. You cannot upgrade RAM later, so the memory tier is the buy-wrong point for local LLMs.
How much RAM for 70B vs 120B?
As a rule of thumb from GPU-addressable share: ~64GB unified (~48GB GPU) fits 70B Q4 but not 120B MoE; ~128GB unified (~96GB GPU) fits gpt-oss-120B / 120B MoE; ~192GB PRO 495 (~160GB GPU) reaches 235B-class Q4 models. Exact fit still depends on quant and runtime.
Why do official and Amazon prices differ?
Channels update on different schedules. Amazon may show in-stock units while the official store is on pre-order (or the reverse), and some Amazon figures are Prime-only or third-party — those never become a headline price here. When both channels have a comparable price, primary drives $/GB and the other channel shows under Price / buy as a text link.
