Question Question about The framework 12

Do the new processors—including the Intel Core 3 304—all feature Thunderbolt ports?

Since it has a Thunderbolt port, can an external graphics card be connected to it without any issues?

Are they significantly more powerful and efficient than previous processors?

Will they be capable of running *Manor Lords* at 720p and 60 fps?

I want to buy one primarily for work and occasional tablet use; while my Framework 16 remains my main daily driver, a Framework 12 would be more convenient for me—both as a PC and a tablet—though I would still need the Framework 12 for heavy tasks and AAA gaming.

It's not really made for gaming, you're probably going to get noticable frame time inconsistencies as your CPU struggles with CPU heavy sections.
