So this time next year for a releases still seems likely ?

I hope they launch X3D at the same time as regular launch.

I hope they launch X3D at the same time as regular launch.

I think if they're ever going to do it, now is the time. The standard Zen 6 stuff seemingly has a lot more cache, so a stacked cache CPU won't harvest sales from the main line as much. I could see why they staggered the releases in the past (not saying I agree with it), but this time I think it would be the most beneficial time to release everything in one go.

I'd definitely wait for the x3d now if I'm able to afford it later on but I can see why they stagger simply down to packaging as there is more effort involved with the x3d chips but until I know specs of both I couldn't honestly say which I would get atm.

Just saw the latest info from MLID, so a 10800X3D with 12 cores a 10950X3D with 24 cores with upto a 30% IPC gains, memory support of possibly 8000-10000 with clocks around 7Ghz, late 26 or early 27 and if even close to this, these things are going to be bonkers mental!

That seems likely. Computex reveal with Summer release

I'd love that, but I think they will still stagger it. The larger caches per CCD is a big marketing point, so even the non-X3D chips should be better at gaming. The single CCD nature of the new 12-cores also makes AMD's 12-core CPUs a lot more viable for gaming. Until now, their Dual-CCD nature has been a problem.

30% IPC gains sounds nuts. Too good to be true kinda nuts. That said, IPC changes are crazy workload dependent. Some workloads could certainly see those kinds of gains.

Zen 5's Math Acceleration Unit comes to mind. 32% gains in single-core Machine Learning and 35% gains in single-core AEX-XTS was marketed. Big gains, but not representative of all workloads. Will need to look into the newest rumours.

30% is nuts, he did say though that he expects around 15% mostly, but up to 30 as like you said it's workload dependent, as they're jumping three nodes to N2X, which is how AMD should be able to get these crazy numbers, and performance.
