I think the current rumor is that only one of the chiplets will have the extra cache though, so you'll have 8 cores with the big cache and 8 cores with the normal cache.

    If they make one with extra cache on both CCDs, it would probably get some kind of AI branding and be at a significantly higher price point. Current games would hardly benefit from 16 cores all with that much cache.

      The main benefit is that it's a no-compromise product. High single thread performance for games and there's more of those cores for productivity, it'd be the best workstation CPU and the best gaming CPU in one package.

        But you'd get 95+% of the same benefit with the v-cache on just one CCD, which is what they did with the 7950X3D.
