I have bought an 11th gen Intel Framework. When the Intel 12th gen was out, I purchased a motherboard and replaced the 11th gen one. The process was common and straightforward but the experience was almost magical. We should have been able to do thIs years ago. The 11th gen motherboard is now runnIng my media center faithfully in a DIY acrylic case. Kudos Framework. You ought to be the future.
