9950x isn't better at gaming than 9800x3d, the last one is absolute leader. The case of 7xx0X3D release has shown, that multi-chiplet-multi-core processors aren't interesting for gamers because of high price and tiny gaming performance gain. I doubt 9950x3d will be gamechanger, too few rich geeks really want $800+ CPU good in both types of tasks.

The Ryzen 7 9800X3D against a dozen other modern CPUs, ranging from the Ryzen 9 9950X and Core Ultra 9 285K to the Ryzen 5 9600X and Core Ultra 5 245K, along with a few previous-generation components. The net result: it's on average 15% faster than the second-place chip, AMD's previous-generation Ryzen 7 7800X3D. Against Intel, the gap widens substantially, with a 30% lead over the Core i9-14900K and a 35% lead over the Core Ultra 9 285K. The Ryzen 7 9800X3D sits as the new king, and all the specialized media are saying so.

Intel did not expect that most popular reviewers are gaming focused? Review from Phoronix website shows 285K has 12% better performace than 14900K, including some "linux gaming". Plus better efficiency.
For gamers who can buy AMD X3D and >1000€ GPU, choice is simple. But others, with less budget, less gaming and more non-gaming computing, there is not enough reviews.

Hopefully not that bad old more power for higher speed.

There is only one first impression.
