Perfect upgrade for 5950x on my workstation!
Can't wait to try it 😎

I'll wait a few generations before I decide to upgrade. I'll most likely replace my 3800X with a 5x00X first, to get a relatively cheap upgrade. Looking at the current pricing over here, a 5900X might be the best bang for the buck (only 30 euros more expensive than the 5800X).
And when I'm ready to upgrade I'll have to see what the offerings of Intel and AMD are at the time and which one would be the preferred route to take.

I don't think I need a new CPU just yet, not for what I do on my PC. Though I'm not gonna lie, this will be insanely tempting for no other reason than its existence.

Honestly a 24 core CPU makes more sense than a 16 core from a business standpoint. You save the chiplets with working 8 cores for server dies, while lowering the heat output for gaming CPUs by using 6 core chiplets and spreading them out instead of 8 cores (assuming AMD will use 4 chiplets of 6 cores each instead of 3 chiplets of 8 cores).
Besides, 4 more working cores are hardly enough to justify going from the 5900x to the 5950x. Doubling the amount of cores, however, could allow AMD to sell $1000 cpus on the mainstream platform.

I personally couldn't care less about having 24 cores in a desktop PC, but what I definitely do like is that it means lower-end models will most likely become a lot cheaper and more efficient. Sure will be nice if 8c/16t can be bought for less than $200.

New mobo and RAM is the main point here.
But always bigger "numbers" is the best after all

so that 8600x can beat it again
isn't progress just beautiful

So this is AM5 ?

Most likely called AM5

Not sure why you say it in that way. AMD has publically called it AM5, and i believe that is a slide from AMD though could be wrong.

I have believed this for a long time now. AMD has ever so slowly been edging their way back into the premium CPU market.
Ryzen 1000 series was them righting wrongs and getting onto the right path ($500 cpu beating a $1000 cpu)
Ryzen 2000 series was them keeping ryzen on peoples minds and building a brand
Ryzen 3000 series was them building brand loyalty, showing true evolution on the same platform and showing their technology scaled
Ryzen 5000 series was them pushing for the performance crown, allowing them to finally charge a little more for their work
Ryzen 7000 series will be AMD's crowning moment to be once again a premium CPU brand and finally get back to that $1000 mainline CPU price tag.
Just get ready to be paying $500 for a 6/12 core CPU, $600 for an 8/16 core, $700 for a 12/24 core, $800 for a 16/32 core, and $999 for a 24/48 core (if not more for X variants). Probably resurrecting Athlon naming for lower end products with less cache, no SMT, smaller iGPU's, etc to fill the gap left at the bottom under the $300 price ranges.
This could also be the reason why AMD seemingly killed off Threadripper, because their plan was to start charging a lot more for their mainline desktop products.

The thing that Intel will have to contend with is the all-important Performance Per Watt metric in the server space, which is where the big money is. So far, Alder Lake consumes a lot more power than Zen3 in terms of the general processing server markets, where EPYC rules the roost these days. Milan-X is very compelling and has been widely adopted, and very quickly, too, as it's a drop-in replacement. But I have a suspicion that Zen4 will be a bit different in architecture from Zen3, and so I expect a definite IPC uplift that will be more than merely a clock jump for a Zen3 CPU running faster because of higher clocks occasioned by a smaller manufacturing process. It's going to be interesting later this year, no doubt about that! Lisa Su has openly stated more than once this year that she expects this year to be AMD's best year yet, and she's always been right on the money in that regard. If Intel stays with a monolithic CPU design for its upcoming server CPUs I think it will be tough for them to compete there, once again.

Seeing how TSMC is raising its prices by up to 20%, I imagine AMD won't feel the need to avoid raising its own prices. We all know Intel isn't shy about charging a lot as well. It's not a cartel, but when you have (only) two players who are both very eager to increase the general profit margins of their products, it will work the same as a cartel.
