Intel reveals Core Ultra Series 2 stock coolers with more conductive copper-base heatsinks

Intel Laminar RM2 (left) and RH2 (right) stock cooler designs for 15th Gen Arrow Lake Core Ultra Series 2 CPUs.

In addition to Arrow Lake-S CPUs for desktop PCs we saw earlier this week, Intel is also introducing a series of refreshed stock cooler designs. These next-gen units replace the previous, weaker stock coolers across the board.

The most notable upgrade offered by these new stock cooler designs, which we noticed thanks to @momomo_us on Twitter, isn't immediately visible. But last time around, lower-end coolers used less-conductive aluminum for the baseplate instead of just the fins. The more conductive copper is a far superior material for a baseplate, and Laminar RH1 had it, while Laminar RM1 and RS1 did not. However, the new Laminar RH2 and RM2 CPU cooler designs include copper baseplates.
