AMD Readies More Ryzen 5000X3D Processors?
AMD is looking to expand its Socket AM4 Ryzen 5000X3D processor lineup, according to Greymon55, a reliable source with AMD rumors. The current Ryzen 7 5800X3D 8-core processor was well received by the tech-press for its 3D Vertical Cache innovation that significantly improved gaming performance, putting it in the same league as Intel's fastest 12th Gen Core "Alder Lake" processors, despite being based on the older "Zen 3" microarchitecture. AMD uses the same 8-core 3DV Cache chiplet (CCD) in its EPYC "Milan-X" enterprise processors. This lineup could see an expansion, with announcements expected in July.
If true, it could see the introduction of SKUs such as the Ryzen 5 5600X3D, Ryzen 9 5900X3D, or perhaps even the 5950X3D, with the latter two featuring a mind-boggling 200 MB of Total Cache (L2+L3). This would provide a tempting upgrade path to everyone with a Socket AM4 platform, now that AMD has extended official "Zen 3" support to even the oldest AMD 300-series chipset motherboards. There is yet another rumor that predicts AMD could develop certain "Zen 4" SKUs on the AM4 package, which sees a "Zen 4" CCD paired with a current-gen cIOD that has DDR4 and PCIe Gen 4 connectivity. Regardless of which rumor is true, AMD's support for AM4 isn't ending anytime soon.

They are also selling the 5950X for 480€

If AMD release 5600X3D at $300 and 5950X3D at $800 not so much imo but it will be an extra option (again if the rumours are true)
If AMD releases X3D versions for all Vermeer based models, then AM4-Zen4 rumors if true may be for lower end models and not for Zen4+14nm IOD?
(Or they could release them one year after X3D versions if Zen4-DDR5 platform isn't so successful but i don't think a 16core Zen4 to be a good idea with DDR4 & 142W PPT)
502€ and 571€ respectively.
I will keep this in mind when I return to the States next month when Newegg and Bestbuy has those shortages.
Who's gonna buy Zen 4 if there are so competitive AM4 options?
Zen 4 are not going to be that faster to justify the cost.
Intel Core i7-12700F £316.99
(All zen 3 seem to clock more or less the same, the only differences is truly in the single thread boost and it's pretty small)
They're now selling two sets of chipsets and two sets of CPU's, from different manufacturing nodes - this helps them keep up with supply as well as preventing what happened with zen 3 having a few launches that immediately went out of stock
Only a few of them would not, because they wouldn't sacrifice the productivity numbers in favor of gaming performance.
If you give them a 5900X3D/5950X3D, not in a million they would sell everything to move to AM5.
