A leaked image suggests that Intel may be releasing new stock coolers for its upcoming 12th Gen Core “Alder Lake-S” processors. It seems that Intel is getting on the RGB train; two of them have blue illumination around the fins. All are labeled “Laminar” for use with 65-watt boxed CPUs. The RH1 features an Intel Core i9 logo; the RM1 features i3, i5, and i7 logos; and the non-RGB RS1 features Pentium and Celeron logos. The RH1 features a taller and beefier-looking heatsink and screw design. If real, it will be interesting to see what the cooling performance is for these coolers.
Not sure if real, intel hasn’t gotten the hint if these are real lol. pic.twitter.com/8YTFtiylMz

Intel reportedly developed the Laminar series from feedback obtained from its partners and customers. There is a possibility that the chipmaker will roll out three different thermal solutions for its 65W Alder Lake parts.
