Looks interesting but I could imagine the thermal paste getting into it and turning into a situation I wouldn't want to deal with.

I would be really surprised if the actual package had all of those cut-outs in it, that would be quite a bit of extra seemingly unnecessary machining. Semiconductors are also photo-sensitive, which would make cut-outs exposing the dies at some angles potentially problematic in cases overflowing with RGB.

I could imagine the extra package height being necessary to accommodate a wider range of under-IHS component heights.

In that case, I hope this is real and it spells the end of the silly RGB lighting trend.

Seems as likely to be accurate as suggesting the Zen 4 heat spreader would be fixed with baked beans. Yet another pointless article, based on unsubstantiated rumours, on a Future Publishing website.

For this reason alone, it would make it pretty unlikely that it would ever end up with that sort of configuration.

So I guess other tech websites don't do this, ever, right? Pffft.
