Last week we provided a first look at the new and completely-redesigned System76 Thelio Mira desktop chassis. Today System76 is formally announcing the availability of their new Thelio Mira Linux desktop.
Last week’s article went over the new Thelio Mira case and provided plenty of views of it. In today’s articles are some benchmarks from this new pre-built Linux desktop computer and more details on the new Thelio design.
For end-users the new Thelio chassis is more convenient with the front panel I/O, the new “Precision Industrialism” design is a fresh look of the Thelio chassis depending upon if you liked the wood veneer look of their original design, and the improved internal layout of the Thelio Mira offers a reported 13 degree reduction in heat. The new Thelio chassis is also designed to be more easily repairable than its predecessor.
The new Thelio Mira “thelio-mira-r4-n4” desktop is based around the latest AMD Ryzen 9000 series (Zen 5) desktop processors and can be configured with up to the Ryzen 9 9950X3D 16-core 3D V-Cache model. There is also support for up to 192GB of DDR5 memory, up to 28TB of solid state storage, and NVIDIA graphics up to the GeForce RTX 5090. The System76 Thelio Mira Elite configuration will ship with the Ryzen 9 9950X, 96GB of DDR5-5600 memory, 4TB of PCIe SSD storage, and the Radeon RX 9070 XT graphics card.
I have been testing the new Thelio Mira thelio-mira-r4-n4 over the past week and it has been working out well in my initial testing. The review unit was configured with the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X processor, 4 x 32GB DDR5 memory, 4TB Crucial NVMe SSD, and GeForce RTX 5080 graphics.
The System76 Thelio Mira shipped with Pop!_OS 24.04 and its new COSMIC desktop environment.
