    I thought it was a pricing mistake. But no, you just have to select the variations. $42,412.00

    Thelio Mira AI $3,299.00 Description Specs Warranty Accelerate your AI development with Thelio Mira AI, System76's affordable, GPU-focused workstations, built for local AI development — so you can train, fine-tune, and iterate challenging AI workloads entirely on your own hardware.Configure Thelio Mira with up to: 16-core AMD Ryzen 9000 Series CPU 192 GB DDR5 RAM Dual NVIDIA RTX Pro 6000 GPU 192 GB GPU memory this is miss leading. actually it is 4gb ram a400 price.dual RTX6000 price is : $40,538.00

    That memory speed drop going from single DIMM per channel DDR5 to dual DIMM per channel is very much notable - 3600MT/s is barely any faster than what DDR4 could do in it's final days.The CPU market seems to be missing the "HEDT" platform we used to enjoy.

    > Accelerate your AI development with Thelio Mira AI, System76's affordable, GPU-focused workstationsFrom $3,299 (with just 64 GB RAM and a 4 GB GPU) to over $50,000. Very affordable indeed.

    When I saw the 192GB I first thought they might have beat Framework to market with a Gorgon Halo machine with unified RAM that Framework has teased. This is just a GPU workstation.

    Seems they might be selling a combo of dual RTX Pro 6000 workstation cards (non-refundable), but the setup they have, unless they change how the GPUs cooling work, isn't gonna work out thermally if you stack two of those workstation cards on top of each other. But it doesn't say WS or "Workstation", so I suppose could be the server variant too? But also doesn't say...Hope they have good overall cooling the case, cooling doesn't seem to be mentioned, it'll be a noisy little machine no doubt :)

    Can't wait for in 10 years time to find one of these workstations on eBay selling for £100-150Then I will do a video of me playing Crysis on it

    I'd really like to just buy some collective shares of a GB300 NVL72 in a datacenter somewhere and have a daily token quota on a shared DeepSeek model or whatever was hot that week. I would just need to find ~100 like-minded folks at this $40k per share price to get started haha.

    $37,000 in GPUs. Man, I never expected another PC manufacturer to make Apple's top configuration look cheap by comparison.
  • bitbasher
    It only costs $40,000.

    k is single H100 money. The workstation form factor only makes sense if you're locked out of cloud GPU allocation.
  • nubinetwork
    Nobody seems to have noticed that they dropped their ampere-based thelio.

    I absolutely love system76. Never owned one of their desktop machines, but I have a couple of their older laptops and they work fantastically for me. As in I can easily get a decade out of them and replace the batteries every few years. One of them is almost a decade old ironically enough.

    Speaking of AMD CPU’s, how is Strix Halo coming along?As that’s unified memory à la Apple and I think up to 128gb
  • rkagerer
    What motherboard do they use? (Or do they design their own now?)
  • nullbio
    New car or a Thelio. Tough decision.
  • rubyn00bie
    Anyone know why they chose a consumer grade CPU on this? I’m a little surprised to see a 9950X as the top option. There’s not enough PCIe lanes available to run everything without bifurcation. I imagine the GPUs probably aren’t too bothered generally… but the NVMe drives are likely to slow down as a result.A Threadripper ain’t cheap, but if you’re spending $45k on a workstation it seems like a weird place to skimp. Not to mention you’d then have the option of shoveling a few more 6000 pros in it when you want to run something larger (assuming your home/office electrical box can support it).

    This makes Mac Studio with 256GB memory look cheap in comparison. More memory to store weight at a quarter of the price!

    I remember losing sleep when I bought my RTX Pro 6000, but somehow they keep going up in price, and waddya know I’ve even done real work that appreciates the VRAM size.
  • arjie
    Haha, bloody hell, mate. $17k a pop? I bought these for $8k-ish. That's bonkers to buy this when newer flash models won't fit on this any more. DeepSeek V4 Flash seems the last in its line, and then you have to count on Qwen Next. Seems like a waste honestly.
  • waterTanuki
    I find it hard to believe any enterprise willing to drop over $40k on a workstation PC would choose `Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS with the COSMIC Desktop Environment` over Ubuntu.
  • LoganDark
    Is it more powerful than Apple silicon, or why would anyone buy this? Just for Linux?Oh, it's System76, that's why. Open hardware. Makes sense.Edit: Also Nvidia
  • rrgok
    Is this just a marketing stunt? From a completely ignorant user, doesn't AI reeuqires high bandwidth ram (like the GPU)? Is really DDR5’s bandwidth enough?
  • protocolture
    Do I want one? Yes.Can I afford it? Absolutely not.
  • chaostheory
    How is this interesting compared to either a Mac Studio or Nvidia Spark? Did I miss something?
  • senectus1
    wouldnt you be better off maxing out the new Mac hardware? the memory bandwidth is insane on those jobbies
