Each day, new measures projects come out at European levels that seek to make people's lives easier while offering other capacities such as reducing the use of plastics to try to take care of the environment. One of the last measures that has come to do with the packaging of the ProcessorRather, with all the products that have a plastic container, because there is a new regulation that will try to reduce the use of this material, eliminating everything that results useless When selling the product.
The European Union has managed to perform many measures that have not only been applied in the euro area, but have managed to transfer borders to succeed in normalizing certain aspects that we now use practically daily. One of these proposals was for example the standardization of the USB-C connector for smartphones, which means that companies like Apple that used their own charger left the idea to unify all the loading systems that these devices have . Now, there is another measure that could affect the way the different products are sold, as it seeks to eliminate all the useless plastic which is incorporated in certain containers.
A European measure that seeks to eliminate unnecessary packaging
The processors, like many other components, have a fairly wide process until they reach stores so that a user can buy them. One of the phases that passes through this process is the packaging, when made, they leave almost 1000 unit trays, but to reach the consumer obviously involves an additional process. In this process, the product is recorded in a series of cardboard boxes with various plastics to protect it, by avoiding in this way that it can be damaged in the process, which makes the product practically 10 times larger than it is not really.
But that could stop being, because the new regulation on containers and packaging waste (PPWR) which entered into force a few days ago tries to reduce the use of plastics in this type of packaging, To eliminate for example all the paraphernalia which integrates the Core I9-9900K box, which Intenl has already changed so that it does not use mythical France. Although this measure can also prevent manufacturers from incorporating dissipators of action Since in the regulations itself, it could be considered useless because there are not many people who use it, which makes it separate for those who want to buy it.

This measure would affect a user segment that buy processors for more basic computers, because the highest performance models generally do not implement this type of dissipaters because they generally do not offer sufficient quality to reduce the temperatures of CPU with TDP greater than 65 W.
In general, it would be the perfect measure for Intel and AMD to end up being completely free from dissipators of action.
The position that the CPUs will be sold in Europe without “unnecessary packaging” (and perhaps no dissipator) appeared first on Hardzone.
