Right now that means the 7800X3D is the fastest all around gaming CPU
money can buy.  Paying more for a 7950X or 7950X3D will actually get
you worse performance in many games.

agree.

Should've been too hard to find this statement in Tom's Hardware's
CPU Rankings:

The $449 Ryzen 7 7800X3D is now the fastest gaming chip money
can buy.

https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/cpu-hierarchy,4312.html

In AnandTech's corresponding "Best CPUs for Gaming" article the 7800X3D is
shown tied with the 7950X3D in the one single game the article actually
provides 7800X3D gaming benchmarks for.  Otherwise they don't seem to
compare the gaming performance of the two CPUs and don't actually say
which CPU they think performs better overall in games.

Tom's Hardware's "Gaming CPU Benmkarks Ranking 2024" chart makes it
clear though which they think is the fastest gaming CPU, putting the
7800X3D right at the top.
