Previous leaks were saying Zen 5 will be 16 cores per CCD. Fingers crossed this will still be true though hope is fading.
Probably not. They've got the option for 16 core dense setups, but they haven't really seen the need to shift desktop over to use. I believe there was an interview where they asked about if the dense cores would come up desktop, and they didn't seem to think they would.
They also seemed to think that memory bandwidth would quickly become an issue if they tried to scale it much bigger on desktop
As long as they move the i5 series to 8 cores at $299 or less, I'm happy. But I'm kind of doubting that's going to happen for Zen5. I think they'll stick to an 8 core CCD design, and maybe throw a 3rd core chiplets on, for 24c total.
I think 16 cores per CCD will be a Zen 6 thing. They might do a 8 core Zen 5 + 16 core Zen 5c part, though.
i think they will do something weird like 8 core P core CCD and 16 Core E core CCD
