By the way if your use case is gaming then why are you looking at a 16 core workstation CPU? The x3D chips are what you should be looking at.

I do lots of After Effects & Premiere and getting a new Mobo for the latest 7000 series chips (or incoming 8000 series) is outta the question at present due to a recent diagnosis of being broke af.

I'm not saying anything about the performance or quality of this chip, just that 3 years ago, we paid hefty premiums for basic chips because there was a shortage. If there were a shortage, how is there left over stock after 3 years?
The reason they have so many of these chiplets is because they are the same chiplets used for Epyc Milan. They have so many different chips that they can move these chiplets into, so the 5950x is just one of those release valves, one in which they can move twice as many chiplets through vs 8 core Zen 3 chips...
They could probably do even more with the chiplet tech. They could do a 5950X3D if they had to. If they had an over-supply of B550 or X570 motherboards, they could make a chip with Zen 4 chiplets and a Zen 3 IO die. If they had an under-supply of those motherboards with an over-supply of Zen 3 chiplets (and this would be the real Goat for multithreading performance), we could see AMD release chips with Zen 3 chiplets with a Zen 4 IO die that would slot into B650 and X670 motherboards worth DDR5. That really probably the only thing that would get me to move to Zen 5; otherwise, I'll just save my money and wait for AM6.
