Obviously this Passmark run is borked. 5800X3D shouldn't be slower than 5800X clock for clock. If 5800X at 4.7 GHz scores 3486 on average in the single thread rating then 5800X3D at 4.5 GHz should score at least ~3340.
You do realize that the 5800X can overclock itself if you have sufficient cooling while the 5800X3D can't. It's the price you pay for the extra cache. The frequencies you quote are not actually achieved values during the test therefore you can't draw the conclusion that you have drawn.
It's obvious that only applications that can use the extra cache can benefit from it. And scientific benchmarks tend to be optimized to use smaller caches as efficiently as possible, minimizing the room for improvement. Efficient data access patterns are a huge factor in performance. Because processors are so much faster than memory. Games, on the other hand, often have reputation for poor optimization.
