> The cheapest processor that AMD is releasing today is the Ryzen 5 5600X, but it is also the only one that comes with a CPU cooler in box.

Does AMD advertised this change as a "Eco-friendly" like Apple? It's reasonable for 8 cores or upper SKUs.

I didn't hear that. This was mostly done because for the higher TDP parts (105W) the box cooler was not enough cooling.

They also save a couple of bucks by doing this.
