AMD Ryzen 9 5900X would have 12 cores and Yes ZEN3 would be Series 5000
Chatter on the web is getting bigger that ZEN3 based desktop processors, might see a name change, not Ryzen 4000 but Ryzen 5000. This rumor has been ongoing for days now, and there's more and more merit to that story.
A new tweet from Patrick Schur, software engineer, and a bit of a AMD Ryzen series news leaker, revealed that the Ryzen 9 5900X and Ryzen 7 5800X processors will feature 12 and 8 cores respectively. He also suggests that the upcoming Zen3-based series will change its nomenclature to 5000. This information has been rumored for a few weeks since if AMD does not change its nomenclature, the names of Vermeer (desktop) would line up with Cezanne (mobile). Therefore, the 4000 series will remain exclusive to the Renoir (mobile) and Renoir AM4 (desktop) series.
On the other hand, what did attract awareness, was that Patrick revealed that the Ryzen 9 5900X and Ryzen 7 5800X processors will get 12 and 8 cores respectively. This would keep the same number of cores as the current Ryzen 3000 series lineup. AMD announced that it will introduce the Zen 3-based processors on October 8 . In addition, the manufacturer has not yet confirmed the official name of the series.

Agree, there has been confusion before between Zen and Zen 2 on some of the cheaper parts. AMD's naming convention is still far better than Intels mobile naming though.
Personally, I think it's the correct move. No mixing of some Ryzen 4000 with Zen 2 cores and other Ryzen 4000 with Zen 3 cores.

Better late than never. I guess AMD did hear people complaining about the generation mismatch between desktop and mobile in nomenclature. As much as the manufacturers would wish for people to stop paying attention to what's under the hood (even if they use the info gleefully in ads), we are talking about the technology industry here, so of course people will want to know.

Exciting times, can't wait for October, might also get Big Navi later, I just hope it won't need more than 300w and has at least 12GB VRAM.
