I don't think I'm liking the retention bracket change a lot, but compatibility should trickle over. It'd be easy with the Thermalrights as they just use the P4 bracket with the rear backplate.

I'm not overly concerned about the need for a new HSF but I'd really love to see some benchmarks on the new chip!

Looks like you're right about the Thermalright HS's though.
