Would the IPC efficiency gains not negate the difference somewhat in core count?

Not in all cases no.
For video rendering and similar multi core friendly workloads the higher core count is still king.
All the more x3d chips for me!
Reminds me of my ex.
I'm not even joking. She went through at least 200 CPU's. When I added some light to my PC,I discovered I had a virus. I got a new socket in good time. Now my CPU is without a socket. I'm sure I can find a nice tight socket and cooler to fit into at some point. Enough about PC'S anyway,how you guys doing?
It's worth it bud, even with more mid range cards.
I'm on a 4070 and my uplift in some games from a 3700X has been absolutely massive, especially with min frames.
I’m pretty sure AM4 has already surpassed past both those platforms put together.

I just got a 4070 Super, and can see improvement over my 3070 running on 3700X. I am getting odd game pauses though so seriously considering the 5800X3D.
I intend keeping my AM4 set up for a few more years.
I am only on a B450 board though so not sure if gains will be that massive?
Probably search more and post separately but looking for cpu cooler recommendations for the 5800X3D as well
I'm running a B450 myself, I have zero regrets.
Dying Light 2 for example showed a huge improvement.

@Gray2233 What cooler did you go with and up to the job when gaming?
Not seeing many recommendations as such while browsing forums

Thermalright Phantom Spirit for £30, more than ample for the job tbh. You could probably get away with the £15 Assassin King (five heatpipe) assuming your case has good airflow.
For reference, the Phantom Spirit is pretty much the same as the Peerless Assassin but with an extra heatpipe for the same cost.

Tempted to get a 5700x3d and see how it performs against a stock 5800x with my 3090.
its a big upgrade.
i went 5600 > 5800x > 5800x3d
56 to 58 game no performance difference at all with a 3090 under water gaming at 1400p 165hz. but when i got the 5800x3d the step up was a real shock lol, i just didn't expect that much of a difference.
But the gaming experience didn't really change as the 5800x with a 3090 wasn't really a problem, it hit my FPS cap at max setting in the gaming i played
Yes I was just thinking that, still have my X58 machine in the loft after upgrading to AM4.
Recently went from a 5900x to 5800x3d and couldn't be happier, but uplift in min fps..
Went the same way - likewise very happy! I do wonder how much more they can squeeze out of the platform before heat prevents any more progress - maybe then all the old cooling gear will come back into its own
Wouldn't it be interesting if they put out X3D chips for the lower end parts. Like 4c/8t. Would be amazing for people on a budget.Went the same way - likewise very happy!

Same here, I got the 5700x as it was at the limit of my desired TDP.
