You should take "The world's best gaming desktop processor," out so that newer folks don't mistake this old line to be true about the current CPU market.
For the same sale price, 5800X3D is the superior choice for the 30% performance increase vs 5900X in the many games that like the extra cache, but it's not as good in production workloads (still excellent). Be sure to have a very good cooler. 240mm+ liquid or a really good air cooler.
Even with the 7000-series out, AM4 remains relevant due to pricing, availability, and performance per watt.

I don't think the 5900x is worth 120 more, especially for an older upgrade, but hey you guys do whatever you want
And this one is 65w and stays cool.
1440p UW there isn't much of a difference. Also, Non-gaming performance is worse with 5800x3d.
Lastly, my benchmark scores went down after switching to 5800x3d so my ego took a hit.
