You'll have to plug in your own use case and do the math to figure out which one ends up using less power for you. Because for example if you leave your PC running/browse the internet for 12 hours a day, play 2 hours of gaming daily, encoding a video for like 5 minute, Intel ends up using less power. On the other hand if youre encoding videos for hours at a time, or any other 100% workload for long periods, then AMD is more efficient.
Personally I'd avoid the 7900x3D either way, as both the 7900x3D and 7950x3D have scheduling issues for gaming, since games dont know whether to use the v-cache die or the regular die with a higher clock. The 7800x3D avoids that issue since it only has one die, but it also has very poor multithread performance because of that. The 7900x3D also ends up being slower in nearly every metric (single thread, multi-thread, gaming) than the cheaper 14700k.

If you are serious about productivity, you are spending some money and buying a Threadripper.
This 7900 and 7950 cpus are just there to fill the gap. I am guessing people who need some productivity but don't have the money to spend on actual productivity machines...
