Lenovo has made the move promote its new gaming desktop PC. Now we are waiting Intel will make the move and start Core i9-12900K!
I don't remember when I last bought a CPU in anything other than a tiny cardboard box with some foam in and the model scrawled on in marker pen. I do remember finding an old OEM heat sink that had never been used and throwing it away, thinking it was such a waste.
Retail packaging = loads of space for marketing purposes (ooh, big box = lots of thing!) and costs money in design, transportation, storage and shipping. It also means a load of wasted plastic (How DARE YOU!) and pointless bits inside.
I strongly think they should go down the route of excluding a heat sink unless someone orders one with the product and ridding themselves of this oversized packaging nonsense. Of course, if they didn't keep changing the socket specs, people wouldn't need a new heat sink!
