This is admirable optimism.
Unfortunately, dr. Lisa Su is still the CEO of AMD.

Regarding the ~$700 price for Zen6 24C/48T, I was referring to this from another thread:

So based on that it would mean $749 for Zen6 24C/48T X3D. And the regular non-X3D variant will then be cheaper than that.
 
This was the cpu AMD didn't want to make, yet people begged them to make.
So they made it going see, you don't want it do you.

Now it probably killed all hopes at Threadripper getting X3D, as they will assume the same thing.
Although they should of made this a threadripper cpu, and not a Ryzen, and probably would of sold more.
 
Dear AMD, Please ignore these people. I and I bet many others who actually wanted to use this CPU for what it's good at are very pleased with it so far. The only real complaints are slightly too high on the price, $800 made more sense, and way too late in the Zen 5 lifecycle.

Please make it again. If you can't keep the price down, at least don't make us wait over a year.

Friendly reminder that the first part of the Zen 5 X3D life cycle was marked by supply issues (relative to demand). They could have launched this part in H2 2025 though, by that time prices had settled down towards MSRP or lower, indicating steady supply.

But the CPU is actually great for specific loads, and it's getting sold quite well.
Some people wanted to see how much of an impact in gaming performance it'd get by serving all cores with vcache and solving all the core parking issues.

Zen5 Threadripper uses the sTR5 socket with 256bit DDR5 and a minimum of 4 CCDs. It's a completely different beast.

Given how ridiculously expensive AMD made Threadripper to be, the total addressable market for that would be tiny.

I mean it's still one of the best CPUs for gaming as well, as long as you don't mind paying for it.

Yes, but if you're not going to run neural networks or some specific simulations in it, you're equally well served with the cheaper 9950X3D. And if all you do is gaming, don't go over 1x CCD.
