They have to stay within the TDP. Their only option is something newer and ~100W (like the 5070).
Also (while no 395 is disappointing), it is a totally different socket/platform, and has a much higher TDP, so it may not even work in the Framework 16 as its currently engineered. For instance, the cooling or PSU just may not be able to cope.

What are you talking about? Of course there is newer hardware than a Radeon RX 7700. The 7900 specifically.
The CPU also has no Ryzen 395 option either which Framework source for their unmodular desktop PC.

The 7900 is not newer

A new power brick is needed anyway. That’s why FW now has a much more powerful one as well.
The 395 obviously would throttle if heat or power become a problem.
If GPD can put the 395 in a handheld, Framework can put it in a 16" chassis.
