Check the performance for your intended use case. For example, gaming, almost no difference from 5600X to 5900X.
But for workstation work it can be 2x as fast.

I can't tell the difference between a 5900x and a 7950x as long as both have NVMe storage.

Also if you play any games like beamNG drive, and do any multi player or many cars, every car on the screen uses a thread. I've heard of guys with rtx 4090 get close to the same frame rate that my puny ryzen 5 3600 was doing because they were also running a similar level cpu and could only handle so many cars on the screen.
So just depends on the tasks your doing. Double cores and threads will make a substantial upgrade.
42500 passmark with mild undervolt. 41000 passmark stock. I also use it for video editing, that's where the 24 threads really pay the bills.
If you have a microcenter they have a 7800x3d, mobo and 32gb ddr deal for 470(?) Right now though, it might be worth looking into that. This still has better passmark due to more cores but the 7800x3d would obviously do better in games

And of course there's plenty more applications and use cases where having more cores is a must.

Having said that. You can look up PBO on YouTube. There's some tutorials on undervolting where you get similar or better performance with less heat.
