Ok just so everyone's clear, 7800x3d for gaming(all cores can access 3d V--cache), 7950x3d for productivity. This is for...productivity, but you are limited by budget.
I think they meant fps per buck you'd be better off with a 7800x3d.
That's correct, AMD desktop CPUs have worse idle power consumption, because AMD uses multiple chiplets (including the I/O die) in their desktop CPUs. Idle power ends up being 2X-3X worse than Intel for desktop.

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.

The red head stepchild of X3D processors. Still a good chip though.

You can use it for whatever you like. I have a 5900X.. I use it for a mix of productivity and gaming. If someone wants to use a 7950X(3D) for gaming solely, they can do what they want lol.

Why get this over a 7900x?

7800x3d for gaming hands down, best cpu of this generation.

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...

Put it perfectly. The 7900 and 7950 have higher clock speed so make it better for productivity. Gaming just go w the 7800

You can tell your friend this is a not an intel cpu, so you should be fine.

If you disable the extra cores to lower the thermals I hear it's pretty solid 😉

So I was researching for my new build and I was surprised to find out that Intel's 12th gen CPU and up actually use less power than AMD when idling or performing office tasks! Sure AMD's chips have lower TDP overall than Intel. But they suck up a lot of electricity when idling or running basic tasks (something like 40w compared to Intel 10w-25w) You can also limit the max wattage consumed by both brands in the Bios so it doesn't really matter what TDP Intel sets for its chips. Since I am not a gamer and I just want to fast, cool running HTPC that will last me for years, I think I will have to go with Intel due to its lower power consumption/lower TDP when doing non intensive tasks. Am I correct in this regard?

Thanks and repped for the detailed and informative reply. I'm sure many will find it as helpful as I did!
