I hope it's true, because it could give AMD the option to bring back the R3 series for the 6-core parts, and differentiate the "10700" and "10800X3D" parts not just because of the extra cache, but also by making the former a 10-core chip with the later being a 12-cores one.

But I wonder how will AMD name them, because it doesn't enough room in their current naming scheme for so many parts. 

They have enough room.

• Ryzen 9 10950X3D - 24 core
• Ryzen 9 10950X - 24 core
• Ryzen 9 10900X - 20 core
• Ryzen 9 10850X - 16 core
• Ryzen 7 10800X3D - 12 core
• Ryzen 7 10800X - 12 core
• Ryzen 7 10700X - 10 core
• Ryzen 5 10600X3D - 8 core
• Ryzen 5 10600X - 8 core
• Ryzen 3 10500X - 6 core

Of course they'll probably go with some nonsense like...

• Ryzen 9 AI Max+ 595 - 24 core
• Ryzen 9 AI Max+ 595X3D - 24 core
• Ryzen 9 AI Max+ 590 - 20 core
• Ryzen 9 AI Max+ 585 - 16 core
• Ryzen 7 AI Max+ 580X3D - 12 core
• Ryzen 7 AI Max+ 580 - 12 core
• Ryzen 7 AI Max+ 570 - 10 core
• Ryzen 5 AI Max+ 560X3D - 8 core
• Ryzen 5 AI Max+ 560 - 8 core
• Ryzen 3 AI Max+ 550 - 6 core

I fully believe AMD will keep the hexacore as Ryzen 5 unless Intel drastically increases the core count on the Core Ultra 3 - or at least start making one in the first place. Intel hasn't made any Core Ultra 3 yet, just Core 3, and with an N before the number and just e-cores, those Core 3 are just rebranded Atoms now.

Ultra 5/7/9 are the new Core i3/5/7, and AMD made a similar shift upwards. In fact, they pretty much killed everything below the 5; so not just i3/Ultra 3/Ryzen 3, but also the Athlons and Celerons. All while the 5 stayed pretty much at the same price, meaning both Intel and AMD have pretty much killed the budget CPU segment now.
