💻 System76 has unveiled the Thelio Mira AI — a Linux workstation with 192 GB of video memory
The desktop workstation, based on the AMD Ryzen 9000 (AM5), accommodates two NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell GPUs with 96 GB of ECC GDDR7 each. Launch is announced for September 9, 2026: starting from $3,299, with the top configuration exceeding $40,000.
🌍 System76 opts for the AM5 socket instead of the expensive Threadripper PRO HEDT platform, directing the savings toward the GPUs: 192 GB of ECC in a standard PC chassis. The downside — no NVLink; the cards are connected via PCIe 5.0 x8.
👤 A ready-to-use Linux computer (Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS COSMIC or Ubuntu 24.04/26.04) with pre-configured NVIDIA drivers: Llama 3.3 70B in FP8 or Qwen 2.5 32B in FP16 fit into VRAM without offloading to disk — everything runs locally, without the cloud.
