It looks like AMD has updated its Wraith Prism heatsink to offer AMD users more cooling performance than before, providing users two additional heatpipes to improve heat dissipation and deliver lower load temperatures. 

This change was first spotted by XFastest, a Chinese hardware website, who noted that nothing else has changed for AMD's Wraith Prism heatsink, as the cooler offers users the same number of cooling fins and no changed to the cooler's RGB lighting effects. 

At this time it is unknown how AMD's new six-heatpipe Wraith Prism coolers will be released to end-users. This cooler may be exclusive to specific regions, specific processors (AMD's high-TDP models), or be a full-on Wraith Prism replacement for all high-end Ryzen series processors. 

Regardless of their reasoning, it is nice to see AMD upgrading its Wraith Prism cooler. Seeing products move to cheaper materials and lower-quality components is an all too common occurrence in the modern era, so it is nice to see that AMD is doing the opposite as its CPU market share grows. 
 
So in my opinion it looks like AMD is not only advancing it's CPU performance but also improving their air cooling heatsink.

    Looks like that would would for alot of us non-overclockers. Id be just fine with that upgraded stock cooler. Nice to see AMD competing where they can, and not focused where they cant.  Hell, even given Intel a run for their pocketbook, reminds me of old school AMD...
     
    Thats alot of copper on the baseplate, looks super nice!!

    AMD says that they are counterfeit and will be pursuing legal action for the unauthorized use of AMD's logo. More heatpipes, cool. But are the heatpipes as good? That is an unknown. AMD cautions that they have not gone through any AMD compliance testing and that they may not perform as necessary. Additionally, if the knock-off coolers are sold with an AMD CPU, consumers should be cautious as the CPU may be used, counterfeit, or otherwise altered and may not meet AMD's specifications for that product.

    Source? Off the top of my head, I think I heard this in the latest GamersNexus GN News Roundup (or whatever they call it) video.
