CoolerMaximum operating temperature 95°C. AMD's current specification sheet does not name a boxed cooler; c't tested a supplied cooler. AMD lists a 21 July 2020 launch, while its original announcement says consumer OEM systems would arrive in Q3 2020, without an exact first-sale month. The c't review tested a boxed processor in 2022.No cooler included in the boxed processor (bit-tech exact-model specification and packaging description); an LGA1200-compatible thermal solution is required.
