I wonder if they’ll do a Ryzen option anytime soon. Connecting displays and some of their modules (e.g. HDMI) appear to need thunderbolt. Ryzen doesn’t ship with that, yet.

Are you sure it's thunderbolt and not USB-C/DP alternate mode? Tbh. I tend to disable thunderbolt always due to security concerns which have more then once shown to be well founded.

  It’s thunderbolt physically, but they don’t call it that because they aren’t certified, or something like that.

  It's Thunderbolt. (Typing this reply from a Framework laptop connected to a Thunderbolt dock.)

Didn’t intel release a Thunderbolt chipset for motherboard manufacturers to include? I thought some Ryzen motherboards had it to implement thunderbolt? Is it just not available in the low power-mobile category?

  There are just a couple that have and the reviews have been lack luster. If framework is trying to get things off the ground I would not expect them to spend a bunch of time going down this rabbit hole. There are rumors that future Ryzens will have Thunderbolt but we'll need to wait for those then get into motherboards that are for this. It won't be right away.
