My understanding is that for the 7900X3D, the 12 cores are in a 2x six core configuration, where one set is disabled for gaming.
On the other hand, for the 7800X3D, the 8 cores are all on a single "set" and all run when gaming.

EDIT Current AMD motherboards should also drop in price with the advent of the new boards that are being released with the 9000 series.

I don't think that if you hold off on this deal that you won't see the same price again soon. The price of 7000-series processors will continue to march down.
It's also worth mentioning that the 7800X3D is really better than the 7900X3D or 7950X3D for gaming [techspot.com]. Basically, the short story is that the lower core count on the 7800X3D provides more room for the cores to clock higher. Gaming doesn't really take advantage of the higher core counts on the more expensive processors. I think that's why we've seen some big clearance deals on the 7900X3D and 7950X3D, because savvy buyers know that they're not worth the sticker price when the 7800X3D exists.
Cores are in a 2x6 configuration where only one set of 6 has the v-cache memory. This leads to mixed performance in games as compared to the 7800X3D and 7950X3D (both of those have 8 cores with v-cache).

Keep in mind that the higher in resolution and image quality you go, the lower the difference in CPU performance. Generally RTS and sim-type games are CPU bound regardless of resolution and quality, primarily as unit counts/base size goes up. FPS and RPG games are generally not CPU bound at 1440p and above.
It's a good deal, I got this from Antonline when it was $330 in April (it stayed at that price for at least a month). Returned it because I was able to snag the 7800X3D from Amazon for $320. Newegg's combo-up deal makes the 7800X3D $335 so I would recommend that for a pure gaming system. 7900X3D is for the budget gaming and productivity system.

The second CCD is not disabled, it's just deprioritized for gaming. The second CCD can be used if the game is able to take advantage of it.
