Well..... its time to face the Multi Core rise of Intel. Even though the little cores mean so "little" to me.
In fact, if you don't use Windows 11, the E-Cores are atrocious and more of a setback, that's what I feel with my work laptop.
12 CCD introduces a new flexibility in the range, like you said, with binned chips, mostly the ones that would be a waste, you could do like:
Ryzen 9 with 24 cores and them step down by a factor of 2/4 cores, this means you could have Ryzen 7 5800X with 16 cores and a 5700X with 12.
This is actually good because the differentiation factor wouldn't be the frequency. People often go for a low frequency chip and OC the guy to match the upper SKU.
There is also a possibility to see a X3D chip rocking 12 cores now.
