99% no 10 cores. CCX is 4 cores and there are 2 of them, adding 2 cores more means adding another CCX, questionable (well, not really - it's very, very unlikely) if 3rd CCX will and can be added to AM4 socket, which kinda beats the purpose of adding CCX with 2 cores disabled. More logical is adding 2 CCX and that is a different architecture on many levels, and exact Epyc territory (we don't have 12 cores Epycs, server parts use FULL working CCXs, as expected from something that claims to be reliable). 12 cores Epycs have 'bogus' CCX.
Some change may occur on Zen2 (7nm), where in theory CCXs could be arranged differently and one *could* have up to 6 cores, moving the lineup to more flexible 2/4/6 and 8/10/12 (probably stopping there, with 2 CCX design) and that Epyc generation with up to 48 cores. Or even 8 cores/CCX, moving the ladder up at both cost and efficiency. Or something completely different...
Not being an expert on manufacturing process, but this scenario doesn't seem likely to happen with current, supposedly finished Zen2 architecture changes - it's unlikely even in the future generations, where probably on the same die size cores can be arranged better in a different manner decided with a real expert engineering/developing team, and not based on wishful thinking or wild simplifying of community members (me included, of course; community members with real knowledge excluded, at least at speculation idea)
