And then AMD will release the X3D variants.

The X3D V-cache will do nothing for this. It's just for gamers.

We need an increase in L2 cache

if they did a huge boost to L1 and L2, then there is no point in selling the X3D parts if it won't be "Significantly" faster/better than the non-X3D parts with boosted L1 and L2 caches, if its just gonna be "single-digit" gains from the boosted cache of L1 and L2 then nobody would even buy the full fledged X3D at their price point.

And here lies AMDs problem with deliberately nerfing a CPU so that you can market the fixed version a few months later for more money. 3D cache was great when it first came out, but now it's just a cache-grab, and is making the regular CPU look bad.

AGESA updates will nerf the initial release performance more, I can guarantee on that, been there, done that.

At least from what I have seen, AMD has set the power limits on the 9700x far to aggressively. 65w TDP is just too low for 8-core desktop computing. 75w-90w and it will shine.
