This is an amazing deal on this processor, but I think it makes no sense for most people.
The X3D cores primarily are useful for high-quality gaming at 1080p where you are CPU-bottlenecked. If you are shelling out $700 or $1000 (MSRP) for this processor, are you honestly telling me you only game at 1080P? I imagine most people buying this processor are enthusiasts gaming at 1440p or higher and they probably have a 80 or 90 series GPU. At 1440p or 4K, the GPU is going to be the bottleneck, even an 80 or 90 series.
If you truly are gaming at 1080p because you are budget-constrained, the 9800x3d makes so much more sense. You get the same X3D cores at a significantly lower price. If you are gaming at 1440p or higher then a 9950X (not X3D) makes more sense to me because you get the same cores as the 9950X3D, they just aren't X3D cores, but those cores aren't necessary because you aren't CPU-bottlenecked.

you don't need to tell people who are shopping for a sports car that it'll get them from one light to another in basically the same amount of time as a 4 door sedan... they know.
