Intel's Entry-Level RS1 Laminar CPU Cooler Quietly Exits Production Line

[KaitouX]

Given the insane power draw of most Intel CPUs, a 65W cooler seems like it has been surplus to requirements for years now.

Only the T-series of CPUs are even remotely "65W TDPs" since they turbo to just 106W for most 12th/13th/14th gen models. The models nominally given 65W labels often turbo at >200W which a basic cooler like this had no hope in hell of ever managing.

I'd say good riddance, but it was a decent sub-100W option that was definitely prettier and quieter than its predecessors, so RIP old friend.

What insane power draw of most Intel CPUs? The i9 and i7 have stupid power limits, but the i5 SKUs that come with the RM1 and everything below them use less than 90W.

Also sorry but can't people read? Now the few SKUs that used this cooler come with the better RM1. This is a cost cutting measure that benefits the people that would buy these cheap CPUs.
