From what I remember, the 5600X3D (6 cores, 4.40GHz) is about neck/neck on gaming when compared to the 5800X3D (8 cores,4.5 GHz) on gaming FPS. The 5700X3D (8 cores, 4.1GHz) is about 4% slower on gaming compared to the 5800X3D. So, the 5500X3D (6 cores, 4.0GHz) will be about the same as the 5700X3D FPS.
I think the AMD Ryzen 9 5900XT will still be better for productivity, not for gaming, because it is just an overclocked 5950X.

boost 4.8ghz vs 4.9ghz
base 3.3ghz vs 3.4ghz
Not much but the order is important.
Edit: might as well round this out.

The 5950x is about 6.6% (7.8% see below) slower than 5800x3d and the 5900xt is about 2% slower than the 5950x.

The 5600x3d is 6% slower than the 5800x3d.
They're all about the same.
Did you go through their price match form or spoke with a rep directly on the phone?

In application performance the difference is more like 20% and 30% in favor of the 5900XT and 5950X respectively. That's a big difference.
My mistake. It's actually 7.8% slower not 6.6%. Sorry about that. It was lazy of me.
I guess you're not a stats ~z because you didn't provide the corrected exact number and you pulled 20% and 30% out of thin air. You do realize that the 5900XT only differs from the 5950X in boost and base by 100mhz. Hard to make 2-3% into a 10% difference respectively or was that just miss phrased ?
I don't possess and have not tested any of the three CPUs. I don't have a skin in the game. I am just reading the charts in the article.
I have a 5800x3d and a 5950x.
5950x advantage is higher quality silicon. So it boosts better so you may get a bit more than the 2-3% especially if you have good cooling.
i think i will just save for an am5 upgrade
