As for why, the only thing I can guess is they had a finite amount that would make the cut for that SKU and relegated it to them.
Maybe, but that was then. I'm just curious why they need to put a lower model name on it.

The 5500 is around $90 on NewEgg. 5500X3D might be an ideal upgrade from 2600 for $120.
The 5500 is overpriced, not even a Vermeer.

This has little relation to the 5500 and its price as the 5500 is a repurposed mobile part. This 5500X3D is a detuned 5600 desktop part with 3D cache for which $200 seems reasonable.

No shade on the 5500 as it's a standout part at that price (bought one for the kid's PC) but it's not related to this purported 5500X3D.

So basically its a 5800X3D that was to bad to be even a 5600X3D. Hmm well if at least is more available than 5600X3D was it. I guess it some what good, but don't know about pricing.

It all good and all. But seriously AMD, if you want am4 to be legendary. Gives us high-end users that glories 5900X3D/5950X3D as well. We have seen gamer nexus some time ago show a prototype 5950X3D. So we know for a fact it can be done. Its more do amd really want to do it or not. But it could really be sweet with a 5950X3D up to rtx 5000 release.

I hope, but chances are properly low to ever happen.

People know AMD is sandbagging performance due to lousy competition. This series is barely a step above the previous series. Maybe things will pick-up once they start selling X3D chips and x8xx series motherboards but I don't expect much.

I don't expect much change, if at all, till AM4 chips are still selling. When was the last time you saw 3 active (major) generation of CPU's selling simultaneously as well as they have in the last 20-25 years?

Five if you count some geographies where you can still find 2xxx chips on sale.

It seems AMD won't let AM4 die as long as DDR4 still sells.

Intel ia simultaneously selling 12th, 13th, 14th Gen CPUs and new 15th Gen soon

It isn't just an AMD thing.

13/14 gen is the same, even 13th gen is a minor tick compared to 12th ~ Intel's last major uarch change was from 10th gen to 11th although you could argue P/E cores are just as big.

The difference is that LGA1700 is still Intel's latest socket, but given the FUD surrounding Rocket Rusty Raptor lake with all its economy cores, I wonder if they dare retiring Alder anytime soon.

Is AMD producing their own 3D cache chip or just buying the silicon and packaging it?
TSMC makes all the chips. The other thing only they can do is hybrid bonding, which glues and connects the CCD and cache chip together. But there's a twist, in between comes a step that only AMD can do, and that's testing and binning. Only then can they decide which CCDs are the most suitable for Ryzen/TR/Epyc 3D products. I don't know, I'm just assuming AMD has a testing facility in Taiwan, so they can avoid sending chips around the world twice more.
