System76 has announced the Thelio Prime, a compact 11-liter (288 x 148.9 x 281.9 mm) desktop built at the company's Denver facility. The chassis is made from milled stainless steel and aluminium parts. To add a bit of finesse, there's a smoked-glass front panel and tool-free magnetic side panels. The interior is designed with two thermal chambers, separating the CPU and GPU. As for performance, System76 describes it as "An 11-liter Linux desktop that fits almost anywhere, without giving up on performance." Users can choose from an AMD Ryzen 9000 processor (up to Ryzen 7 9850X3D) with integrated Radeon graphics or go for a discrete AMD or NVIDIA GPU (up to RTX 5070), depending on configuration. The system can have up to 96 GB of dual-channel DDR5 and up to 8 TB of storage across its M.2 slots (one PCIe 5.0 and one PCIe 4.0).

Front I/O offers a USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C, a USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A, and the audio jack. The rear adds two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C, one USB 3.2 Gen 1, four USB 2.0 ports, a BIOS Flashback button, and audio line-out. Networking covers 2.5 GbE, Wi-Fi 6E, and Bluetooth 5.2. Display outputs depend on the GPU. Integrated graphics get HDMI 2.1 and USB-C with DisplayPort 1.4. A discrete GPU option typically adds three DisplayPort outputs and one HDMI. Power comes from a 600 W 80 Plus certified supply with at least 90% efficiency. The system comes preinstalled with Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS with COSMIC Desktop Environment or with Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. The Thelio Prime is expected to launch November 18, starting at $1,599.

We're on the ground at IFA 2026 in Berlin, where the Chieftec display featured two new power supplies: the Titan ATX (TTP-1650FC) and the Duplex (RTX-1000G). The Titan is the bigger of the two, rated at 1650 W with an 80 Plus Titanium certification, putting it among the more efficient units Chieftec has built. It's fully modular and comes dressed in soft, textured cabling rather than the flat ribbon style seen on older Chieftec units. It uses the ATX 3.1 standard, is compatible with PCIe Gen 5, and features a 135 mm FDB fan.

The Duplex takes a different approach. It's a 1+1 redundant ATX PSU rated at 1000 W per module with 80 Plus Gold certification, aimed at workstation and server builds where uptime matters more than raw wattage. Cabling here is non-modular, likely to keep the unit's footprint as compact as possible, with individual wires gathered into small bundles rather than a flat cable design. Chieftec hasn't shared pricing or availability for either PSU yet, but we will definitely know more soon enough. The Titan slots in above Chieftec's existing high-wattage units, while the Duplex fills a role Chieftec hasn't really addressed before with a proper dual-module redundant design at this wattage.

Seasonic has become the first manufacturer to earn 80 Plus Ruby certification for an ATX power supply tested at 115 V. The Seasonic PRIME ENTERPRISE RX-1600, a high-wattage ATX power supply designed for demanding desktop, workstation, and AI systems, meets the program's highest efficiency tier. Seasonic has a long history of firsts in the 80 Plus program. In 2005, Seasonic became the first power supply manufacturer to certify products under the program's rigorous criteria with the Seasonic SS-400HT, and the first to bring a complete family of four certified products to market that same year. In 2008, Seasonic was again the first to achieve 80 Plus Gold certification. The Ruby milestone continues that legacy.

"Seasonic has been involved with 80 Plus since the program's launch, so this result is significant for us, said Walter Sun, CEO of Seasonic. Our first certified PC power supply appeared in 2005, followed by the first Gold certification in 2008," said a Seasonic representative. "Reaching Ruby at 115 V reflects the continued focus on efficiency in our engineering work. We are at a point where every additional percent of efficiency is difficult to achieve, but the effort is worthwhile because these small gains translate into enormous savings on a global scale."

Data centers have quietly become the engines of the modern world, processing everything from social media updates to critical financial transactions. Yet, as their workloads grow, so does their appetite for power. The data center power supplies are powering these massive compute clusters, which are wasting a great deal of power converting AC to DC. A few months back, CLEAResult silently introduced 80 Plus Ruby, a new certification that raises the bar for server power supply efficiency and offers a path to greener data center operations. Data centers account for about 0.4% of US electricity use, but that figure could climb to 12% by 2028 as AI and cloud services expand. Under the Ruby standard, power supplies must achieve at least 96.5% efficiency at 50% load and maintain at least 90% efficiency at 5% and 100% loads. These thresholds apply across common voltages, including 230 VAC, 277 VAC, 480 VAC, and 380 VDC.

Unlike earlier certifications, Ruby also specifies minimum power-factor values: at 5% load, a PSU must deliver 90% efficiency with a power factor of at least 0.90, and at 20% and 50% loads, it must hit 95% and 96.5% efficiency, respectively, each with a power factor no lower than 0.96. Delta Electronics has already put three of its high-wattage power supplies through the Ruby certification process. Its 5,500 W redundant models, built for AI servers, achieved up to 97.5 percent efficiency and a power factor above 0.96. With global regulations from ENERGY STAR to the EU's ErP directive tightening efficiency rules, 80 Plus Ruby is getting real and immediate backing from power regulators and power supply makers.
