Passmark of this is 55000 multi and 4700 single btw. Mine is 42000 and 3600 so it's a huge step up from that. Probably much less of a step up from the 7900X but that's almost the same price as this right now anyways
If you need a decent CPU you really can't go wrong with one of these. If on the other hand you don't mind paying nearly twice as much for an extra 10% gain in framerates, by all means go with the X3D instead. For a more balanced build, I would invest that price difference in a better GPU and make sure you don't skimp on the RAM, mobo or NVMe.

Hell, I invested in the 7900x two weeks ago at 341 with an nvme and monster hunter. Yes the 9900x was cooler running. But they trade blows. And with PBO it makes it great. I think when the next consoles come out 12 core is gonna be the tops for most games. You can see where many PS5 ports run about the same x3d components and certain games do recommend 12 cores if you are doing ultra.
