One is more recent with better cache but 33% less cores… Both AM4 and no, I won't upgrade to AM5 🙂

5800x3d is the better processor for gaming. 5900x is the better processor for productivity.
Are you gaming or doing productivity op?
The 5800x3D is very gaming focused, that’s why it has that huge cache for a CPU, many games benefit from it.
The 5900x is arguably more productivity focused. Video encoding and other CPU demanding productivity applications typically benefit more from its additional cores than games tend to do.
So in short, the 5900x is a good all round CPU but might not be as good as the 5800x3D in games.The 5800x3D is more narrowly focused on gaming performance at the expense of some general purpose performance.
The 5800X3D is an excellent gaming CPU with substantial productivity clout from its 8 cores.
The 5900X is every bit the gaming CPU a 5600X is, but has double the productivity potential.
You need to decide what’s more important to you.

For that 5800 price that’s a big no for me.
I own both. Is the price difference worth 5 fps? That’s the average difference I’ve seen between the 2 CPUs. Obviously it will depend on what games you play as I’ve seen the x3d make a difference on a few games but more often than not they are within 5fps of each other in my testing.
Honestly for the value the 5700x3d is hard to beat if you haven’t looked at it already.
The 5800x3D reaches very high temperatures when running at full power. So you will need a good cooling setup in your case. You may want to think about this a little more.

I’m just biding my time until I get Ryzen out of necessity, it’s nice AMD bounced back, I stopped giving a shit about Intel after the 6000 series refreshes, lazy innovation from Intel.
X3D model all the way brother, don’t chase the streaming PC with 1k cores, 5TB ram clout that’s perpetuated as the necessary build for ultimate games. My build is a decade and a half old and the GPU (6700XT) is the only thing changed in the last 5 years. Still no “bottleneck” on my setup with 4790 @ 4.2ghz mild OC. Helldiver’s at 1440p high 70fps
Gaming left, Work right… In other words, the red or the blue pill?
5800x3d I would say, since I have picked it too. Not a single game atm utilizes more than 8 cores. X3d also has bigger cache which is very important for poorly optimized pc games. You also need to remember that the cpu is very hot. So if you get one, you have to pair it with water cooling or a monster cooler. Also if you have msi motherboard, it has an option in bios, that improves performance. If you dont have msi motherboard, you gotta manipulate the voltage yourself using curve optimizer. There are guides for it online.
Intel i9 14900k
If you like to have a bunch of programs running while gaming, the 5900x will handle that better but if it not then the 5800x3d will be better
I just bought the 5800x3D off of Amazon for 300$ USD brand new sealed in box
