[lack of] Diminishing performance returns isn't the reason I was excited about the idea though :( I just don't want to worry running something on the "wrong" CCD.

If you had to keep it cool by clocking so low that a normal 16 core outperforms it, it doesn't make sense.

Or maybe I'm completely wrong, and they'll release a dual 3d cache cpu a couple months after they start selling the 9950x3d to maximize profit

The cache location being flipped mitigates some of the clock speed gap (and I personally don't like how inefficient recent-gen CPUs are in lightly threaded workloads, so skimming 5% off the 1T clockspeed without affecting the nT clockspeed isn't much of a con for me personally). I don't mind being virtually-imperceptibly (<5%) slower in workloads that are not sensitive to cache if the tradeoff is having the workloads that are sensitive to cache always, without fail gaining that respective benefit.

Haha, I think they would have both a branding problem for the SKU (what do they call it?), and significant backlash from both press and the public if they did that, but it's not unheard of for a hardware manufacturer to trip over themselves doing something like that :P
