Akasa Intros 41.3 mm-tall Low-profile Socket AM5 and AM4 CPU Cooler
Akasa today introduced the AK-CC1110EP01, a low-profile CPU cooler capable of handling thermal loads of up to 65 W, and supporting AMD sockets AM5 and AM4. The cooler features a classic top-flow design, with an extruded aluminium monoblock heatsink, and a low-profile 80 mm fan. The heatsink is made entirely of copper, and comes with a pre-applied TIM. The factory-fitted 80 mm fan is just 10.8 mm thick, takes in 4-pin PWM connection, turns at speeds ranging between 600 to 3,000 RPM, pushing up to 26.53 CFM of airflow, at 1.81 mm H₂O static-pressure, and up to 27.09 dBA noise output. Measuring 80 mm x 80 mm x 41.3 mm, the cooler weighs 222 g. The company didn't reveal pricing.

As quoted from their own website: Using google translate on other news sites that are in Russian or Japanese, also mention aluminium only. No mention of copper.
Hopefully TPUs next hire will do a better job than this "veteran" here.
I really don't understand why this mast be a first page news...
Tho, Akasa "enterprise coolers" are much different story
For example, their "AK-955V2" which in design is just "another intel stock look-a-like"
- almost 0,47KG weight
- 120W TDP
- for LGA 115x / 1200
had one of those on my 9400F for 2 years, amazing thing in a sff case
and here's the original AMD Wraith box cooler which was used on the 125W Phenom II X4 940:
It just looks like a short version of the original AMD Wraith cooler and should work just fine for modern (non-125W) AMD CPUs. The question is of course, "What will it cost?" because you could just use the Arctic Alpine 23 for all of $15USD or $15CAD.
It claims to work on 105W TDP CPUs. I don't know if I would believe that but I can personally attest to the fact that this cooler works fine on the 65W 8-core R7-1700 without issue. Like all AMD coolers that attach to the standard AMD brackets without the need for a backplate, it fits all AMD sockets from AM2 to AM5.
