The A10-7890k is available as well.
When they say, "AMD quiet cooler", do they mean the Wraith?
Essentially, the Athlon X4 880K's cooler is the same as the quite-good AMD Wraith Cooler that ships with the flagship A10-7890K and FX-8370. AMD says the only difference is that the lesser cooler included here lacks the plastic shroud and LED-lit AMD logo of the Wraith. (The company dubbed this one a "Wraith-class" cooler in its briefing on this chip.)
Another addition worth talking about is the new cooling solution the X4 880K processor ships with. It houses a quartet of heatpipes which make contact with a pure copper base and arch upwards into a large aluminum fin array for optimal heat dispersion. Thermal dissipation is rated at 125W which means there’s some thermal headroom if you want to overclock this 95W processor. While the design is basically the same as the one used for AMD’s new Wraith cooler, it doesn’t have the illuminated shroud.
The A10-7890k is available as well.
When they say, "AMD quiet cooler", do they mean the Wraith? BTW, who in their right mind would buy an 870k, when the 880k is only $5 more? That 880k looks nice.
Hah, so it is! That one comes with the Wraith cooler, and includes a nice iGPU. I'm liking it more than the 880k, actually... And yeah, too bad that they didn't release these three on the AM4 socket, although I'm guessing that they will, at least for the 7890k.
edit: Anyone agree/disagree that AMD will likely release the 7890k on the AM4 socket?
It is the same cooler as the Wraith but without the plastic shroud and LED-lit AMD logo:
According to the following slide, the Athlon x 4 870K would have a different cooler:

Cool, thanks.
Wow, that slide REALLY makes the 870k look bad. For $5 more, you get a faster chip, that also has a cooler that should be able to dissipate close to twice the heat..
Not sure that 125W is close to being the double of 95W, but who knows what the slide really means...
I made no mention of either CPU's TDP, only of the amount of heat that a larger heatsink that includes heatpipes, and also has a larger fan, would be able to remove, compared to a smaller, all aluminum heatsink with no heatpipers and a smaller fan would be able to remove.
Well, according to the slide the 870K has a 125W cooler as well, it s the 860K/845 that have 95W coolers,

Nope, look again. The 870k gets the identical cooler as the 860k, while the 880k and the 7870k get the less attractive/no LED version of the Wraith cooler that cbn linked in his first post.
Holy smokes, the price in CDN $ on that one... D:The A10-7890k is available as well.
AM4 can't come soon enough. I'm glad AMD is making progress on stock thermal solutions though.
That s right , i confused with the 7870K, neverless the 95W coolers displayed in this slide are not the same as the previous 95W coolers.
