What is the comparison with intel in both core count, memory and TDP? And prices?

Identical to other Zen 5c Epyc, so TSMC N3E.

Interesting, then I wait for the upgrade for all the zen5 line...

They made Zen 5 Turin with a maximum of 128 cores.
They made Zen 5c with a maximum of 192 cores, by cutting the cache in half.

They should make (new) Zen 5b Turin with 256 cores; use X3D to add the cache back.

They should make (new) Zen 5a Turin without (normal) cache and 256 cores. Use X3D to add full sized cache like Zen 5.

They should make (new) Zen 5d Turin without (normal) cache and 256 cores. Use X3D to add double sized cache compared to Zen 5.

Maybe not the most cost effective but for EPYC it's a small additional cost on a per-core basis. With a budget of $25 per core x 256 that gives you an additional $6400 per CPU to play with.

A 256 core CPU with double sized cache could cost less than $20K, all socket compatible; though either lower clocks or a new motherboard rated for 600W+ CPU would certainly be necessary. Though they could plan for next time, when they are down to 1nm, and probably stuff 512 -d (cacheless (X3D) -c) cores into the die.
