Its cooling fans also received an upgrade with the Pro versions of the P12 and P14. These models offer higher airflow and a lower noise profile than the standard version ...

Hmm... they appear to be sticking with the "ring" design, where the tips of the blades are connected by ring of plastic.

Arctic's P-series PWM fans are great for their price/performance ratio. There are better fans and cheaper fans, but not much better for that price! They already offer a "Max" version, that offers more airflow, but is significantly more expensive and also louder. Let's hope the Pro version manages to be more tame and still offer a compelling value.

Here's a better pic of the display, where you can actually read the text on the sign and also clearly see the ring.

Wow! That static pressure seems almost too good to be true! Then again, if you look at the width of the blades, it seems like they almost completely overlap.

Arctic seems to be at the dead centre of the Price-Performance-Quality triangle for their regular products. They should give their engineers free reign and have another line that caters to the upper end of the market.

Well, like I said, I'm not sure their P-series Max fans didn't stray outside that sweet spot, but I decided they weren't a good fit for me.

I assume that's what their new Pro line is all about. I'm looking forward to seeing some pricing details and independent reviews. I will probably have to cut them some slack on pricing, for hopefully obvious reasons...
