Rumors of the AMD Raphael Zen4 series of desktop CPUs were making rounds and were listed by a few sources that the amount of cores available would be 24 instead of the 16 core standard.

This rumor has since been challenged by ExecutableFix (@ExecuFix on Twitter) to reflect that the new AMD Raphael Zen4 series will instead have 16 cores, which is currently the same count as the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X CPU.
