Thelio Conquers All with AMD Ryzen™ Threadripper™
Can Your System Compete?
With 64 CPU cores and custom thermals, our workstations have full command over CPU-intensive workloads. Follow the instructions below and see how your computer measures up to the thermal-driven might of a Thelio workstation.
Apply a circular motion blur in 32 seconds
Much of the design process is bogged down from waiting for your design program to, as top-notch designers say, “Just finish already!” But with a Thelio workstation, you can stay focused on modifying your image, rather than your schedule. Follow these steps to apply a circular motion blur to a large image and see how System76 can help restore your sanity.

COMPILE THE LINUX KERNEL IN 14.436 SECONDS
How would your TODO column look having a Thelio workstation handy? Surprise testers with an early alpha, and treat users to an impressive debut of your intuitive new software tool. Compile the Linux kernel on your own machine and compare the results. We’ve included the steps to do so.
Learn How:
Download dependencies
sudo apt-get install libncurses-dev flex bison openssl libssl-dev dkms libelf-dev libudev-dev libpci-dev libiberty-dev autoconf
Download the kernel source
wget https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v5.x/linux-5.5.1.tar.xz
Untar the archive and change into the kernel directory
tar xvf linux-5.5.1.tar.xz && cd linux-5.5.1/
Configure
make defconfig
And compile!
time make -j $(nproc)
RENDER A BLENDER SCENE IN 42 SECONDS
You can watch the progress bar for your project render all you want, but it won’t get any faster without a significant upgrade. Our thermal engineering protects your system from heat buildup and prevent your components from slowing down. With a Thelio workstation, your progress bar may finally feel like it’s making progress. Replicate these steps on your own computer to see how your timeline can improve.

OVERPERFORM WITHOUT OVERHEATING
Simply buying a 64-core CPU doesn’t guarantee you’ll get the full 64 cores worth of performance. Thelio workstations prevent thermal throttling using a large duct to separate the CPU from the GPU and the heat that each generates. Copper piping draws heat away from the CPU. Fans then funnel hot air out the exhaust ports and bring in cool air to replace it.
With System76’s meticulously engineered thermal enhancements, you’ll get a clear picture of what 64 cores can really do. That’s something most other systems just can’t measure up against.
