Keeping processors cool

AMD has expanded its processor range and is offering thermal solutions that are said to generate less than 10% of the noise created by previous devices. According to the company, the AMD Wraith Cooler not only has ‘near silent’ operation at 39dBa, but also supports 34% more airflow and 24% more surface area for heat dissipation.

Amongst the new processors is the A10-7860K, with four CPU cores and eight GPU cores with integrated Radeon R7 processor graphics. According to AMD, the A10-7860K has a thermal design power of 65W.
