I would only get the high end Zen 5 X3D variants if they have the cache on both CCDs. AFAIK, gaming performance can actually be worse when one CCD has the X3D cache and the other one doesn't (like in 7950X3D).

That's nothing. Wait till you have crypto-miner malware that infects such devices.
Or better yet, we get a sentient AI that figures out how it can leverage crypto-miner malware for its own needs.
It's all about the price. You need a use case where the bezel and gpio power doesn't matter.
The project is not happening, Intel is no clearly in position to handle such an expansion.
There is a reason the "forbidden fruit" concept was chosen for inclusion in religious texts. :)
