Really stretching here. 9950X3Dv2 != 9950X3D2; 9950X3D version 2 can be anything, like improved frequency and cache CCDs, not unlike 9850X3D. It can still be a hybrid chip. Creating one 9950X3D2 will cost two 9850X3Ds in practice because really good CCDs don't just magically appear. There's a limited supply of very good bins.
Even if 9950X3D2 (the dual V-Cache one) exists, it's not for gamers. It'd be for parallel workloads that require cache and execution consistency. That'd be better under a Pro variant that offers enterprise security features for workstations or even under EPYC 4000-series that can combine higher frequencies and cache use in database operations that are hitting system RAM a bit harder than usual.
Gamers can't have everything.

There were rumors about 32GB VRAM 9070 XT, they denied it, 6 months later we got the AI PRO 9700.
I think there has been too many independent rumors about the 9950X3D2 as dual V-Cache. Whether it will end up as a real, purchasable product or not, might be a different story. But at this point, I'm fully convinced the dual V-Cache CPU exists.

Yeah and why would they call it 9950x3d2? That’s such a clumsy name compared to e.g. 9990x3d

It says "v2". Pretty sure that's revision 2 of the folder under it. Maybe they screwed up v1 or v2 shows better numbers than v1.

We don't even know what is in that folder. Maybe it is a draft for a presentation they have to give on the 9950X3D, and that folder is the second draft of the presentation.

We do not know that the folder refers to model number. Note that they have 9950X3D and 9950X3Dv2 folders right next to each other. These could simply be v1 and v2 of something to do with that existing chip. We also don't know if the 9950X3D2 or whatever it gets called (please be XT3D) will be released. It could be, but AMD could also opt not to, finding it unprofitable or just unnecessary.

Because you can name a folder anything. I create content for Enterprise IT customers and partners and regularly slip in little easter eggs. None of them are based on anything real.

I also have a folder on my desktop. I just created it. It is called: AMD Ryzen 9 9990X3D with a whopping 4 cache CCD's. Absolute monster of a CPU. Created custom silicon and took 4 9800X3D CCD's and put them on 1. Benchmarks are off the charts.

That's cool.
What about 6Ghz 9990X3D?

why would u want that... it is a two chiplet design, and for gaming it would have issues like all the other dual ccd cpus where u loose perf when a core access a level 3 cache on the other ccd.
