If you're building a new PC then AM5 3D is the way to go. If you're on AM4 currently then this is the best CPU to get for gaming and this won't change since no new AM4 chips will be made.

Well, you couldn't.
The 4090 finally fixes that, and I saw a significant performance bump in 4k/ultra games going from a 3600x to a 5800X3D.
For any previous cards though you'll need to drop down to 1440p or 1080p (depending on the game) to see big differences in CPU bumps....though the link posted a few posts ago does point out that even in cases where avg frame rate isn't improved at say 1440p, things like 1% lows can still see a big improvement from a CPU upgrade in some cases/games.
Another good example here:
https://www.techpowerup
Across 53 games using a 4090 they compare a 5800X3D to a regular 5800X... and even there the X3D gives you noticable uplift at all resolutions on average... 18.5% at 1080p, still 15.4% at 1440p, and 6.8% at 4k. If that was a 3600x instead of a 5800x the gaps would be bigger still.

Edited my post to add one showing the 4090 finally making CPU matter again at 4k.
I agree with a 3080 you're not going to care (though you certainly might at 1440p depending on game) but sometimes people care about future upgrades too.
Speaking of-- 7950X3D review is out.... the 5800X3D holds up surprisingly well at 4k... only about 5% off on average, though some games are more and some less....and some ARE hitting GPU limits at this point while others clearly are not.... Farcry 6 for example, on a 4090 at 4k, jumps from 122.8 fps on 5800X3D up to 140.3 on a 7950X3D... whereas Cyberpunk 2077 RT off sees about a 1 fps difference...(and 0.1 fps difference with RT on)

That being said...If you're on AM4 and trying to squeeze longevity out of your hardware, this processor hangs with even the newer 7950X3D and 7900X3D introduced today for gaming. You should look elsewhere for workflow processors.
There's a section at the end where it shows the gains from the 5800 vs the x3d. Basically, you'd need to have a monitor capable of more than 120 Hz and play your games in low enough settings that you can reach over 120 frames for it to matter. I rather buy a 5900x (assuming priced equally) that's gonna be better everywhere else that isn't gaming than the 5800x3d in some games under some circumstances.
I mean if the x3D is 20% faster in some old games meaning it renders at 300 frames but your monitor is 120hz, what's the point?
