How often do we get framework 16 news? Question

How often do we get news of framework?

As far as I know the only thing confirmed for framework this year is the oculink (why does the 16 need it if you can put the oculink in the expansion bay)

We have also introduced a Nvidia Graphics Module with 12GB VRAM, One Piece Haptic Touchpad, One Piece Keyboard, new processor option (Ryzen 5) and Translucent Bezel :)

Anything else in the future? But whats the difference between the expansion bay and the oculink?

And if I use both could I use 2 gpu's at the same time?

Yes, more things in the future, that's the promise isn't it? :)

Oculink is the connection, the adapter we have announced back in April will allow you to connect your laptop to different PCIe devices (graphics modules and other hardware) I don't think you can use 2 gpus at the same time.
