The question is, 12core single ccd when?

16 core CCD, Zen 5C

Isn't zen 5c something like an ecore variant? Or am I completely wrong?
I'm talking about the normal desktop x900 part having 12cores on a single ccd. Top it up with the 3d cache magic and I'm switching.

They are low power cores but not in the same sense as Intel, they are actually full size cores just clocked lower, for data centre at least, they could be full clocked for desktop if AMD decide to use them for Desktop.

But that's not a proper desktop replacement I assume, from what I read (not much) it's supposed to be use for ultracomputers and stuff.

Since Ryzen AMD have only made one type of core in one type of layout, the CCD's you get for super computers and data centre are exactly the same CCD's as they use for retail desktop. Its a one for all design.
The only chips that are different are APU's, they are, well... APU's.

Interesting....
For those who don't want to hear this man's annoying voice. In summary: Zen5 might have more L2 cache per core

6nm Zen3+ with a 5950X3D would be a very hot seller IMHO.
Not half, even for a limited get em while they’re hot run. I could see a Ryzen 5650X3D having a huge market.

Instant buy for me.

looks like AMD has realised there's not much point to go above 16 cores on the mainstream side so zen 5 will also just top off at that.
I feel like even 16 cores is probably a bit unnecessary, and if you really need the cores just go to threadripper which should start at 16 cores anyway.
its 2023 now, 6 cores should be the minimum, 8 the standard and 12 is ideal for all round use. as the recent X3D chips have proven, IPC gains and cache is more important than core count.

Look like another 35% boost in performance tho....
So long as they keep doing that, IMO that's better than just adding more cores, its all good, this is not stagnation

Developers target midrange hardware, if the midrange had 16 cores, software/games would use them. The hardware needs to be out before developers will target it. AMD should not stops adding cores or it will be the quad core stagnation again but this time 6/8 cores. They should add at least two cores per-CCD.
The entry level i5 is currently at 10 cores. The i5 13500 is 14c 20t. Intel have been pushing core count hard for some time now.
I dont think they will continue to add P/E cores if AMD does not push them. Intel has proved that they are happy to do nothing if they can.

14 core Intel equivalent to an 8 core AMD.

And a 'Ladder?' L3 design, its different to the mesh of Zen 1 and 2 and also difference to the ring bus of Zen 3 and 4.
