How come new series comes with options only up to 8 cores, while 5900X and 5950X were already 12 and 16 cores few years ago?

Desktop Ryzen = up to 16 cores

Laptop Ryzen = up to 8 cores (the 8000G are laptop CPUs in a desktop socket)

Dragon Range (e.g., 7945HX) is a laptop/mobile workstation Ryzen with up to 16 cores, but power inefficient compared to the 8000-series due to the chiplet design. Already in market, mostly in gaming laptops.
