Are we not expecting 1800x3D to be 12c/24t?
Whatever they cal it, I'm very interested in whatever the max single CCD SKU is (with x3D)

I would bet good money there will be a 12 core x3d single ccd

Yeah, that's my expectation (at least as long as something is released and we aren't all screwed by the DRAM or Taiwan situation
)

Unless they want to use binned silicon and go for a 10-core 9800X3D replacement, keeping the 12-core chips for the higher end client SKUs (e.g. 9950 replacement) and server CPUs.
Maybe. But I think possible competition from intel and also amd really wanting to stamp their stock on the fastest and best gaming processor. Only a guess though at this point. Easier to sell though to everyone currently on an 8 core x3d part if they get 4 more cores. Not sure I would bother with 10

Going the other way for me (from 5950x) - 12 cores should still be enough of an improvement vs the 16 slower cores in productivity (video, maybe some VMs) as well as a massive difference for games.
I don't do video stuff very often any more, but when I do, it's nice to be able to cut render times by sometimes hours (as well as capturing at higher quality without impacting in game fps)
Agreed. I went from a 5900x to a 9800x3d, don't miss those cores at all.

The 3D v-cache Zen 6 CPUs are probably at least a year away. But, as always, if you are happy with your current PC's performance, then hold off for now.
Yes I saw it's not imminent and I've got no GPU atm so it's all a bit academic! I like to plan ahead though

Yeah, the IPC gains should be solid, too. A new memory controller is nice, but I will be stuck with my 6000CL30 ram until 2035 I suspect

But now you can buy two more sticks and run all four channels at,.. oh wait. We can't buy RAMYeah, the IPC gains should be solid, too. A new memory controller is nice, but I will be stuck with my 6000CL30 ram until 2035 I suspect

Will these still use the AM5 motherboard ? As people are talking new memory controllers or is that all in the cpu ?

yes these are apparently on am5 [which is why i upgraded to am5 ready for when zen6 arrives]
and yes again the memory controller is in the cpu

Assuming MSI remembers to update my X670E bios! The last four bios updates (everything since Aug-25) is in beta. Never run a beta bios but it seems less than ideal. Maybe I won't have a choice come zen 6.

Quite happy to wait til middle of next year before I change from the 5800x3D.
