Intel has a Pretty Big Problem..

Yeah, I understood that to mean the socket is supported, like your said, but, as yet, no guarantee that Zen 6 will be used on socket 5.

I wondered if something had changed officially since then.

nope

Are you meaning that Zen 6 will use Socket 5.?
I thought, if that is what you mean, it is still a rumour that AMD have not confirmed at this point.?

Agreed but I would be very surprised if it's not.

Agreed but I would be very surprised if it's not.

Ah, it is when you noted confidence in regards to the longevity of the socket I wondered if I had missed anything officially noted as yet.

Over the recent years of pricing, shortages and hardware issues, including Nvidia's driver problems, I'm more surprised these days to be overly pleased with what actually occurs.
I have found very little to be pleased about the Arrow Lake platform, not sure about the value of NPU's, the cost and certainly the longevity.

The odds do seem favourable for Zen 6 and socket 5, let's hope that turns out to be fact.
