Is the X3D CPUs worth it for 1440p AAA gaming?

Basically the title, just wanna know how worth it is for 1440p gaming. I wanna upgrade to am5 but don’t know if I should wait for the 7800x3d/9800x3d to be available ( which seems extremely unlikely and they are so expensive) or go for something like a 7700/9700x or 7900x/9900x which are on sale now for good prices. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Is it worth it? Depends on what games you play and what your budget is. Here's Hardware Unboxed response to that question.

The X3D chips performance increase over the 7700X/9700X averages just under 10% at 1440p. Is it worth it to you to pay 30-40% more money to get up to 10% more gaming performance?

Currently I have 2 systems:

Upgraded system 5800X3D and a RX7900XTX

Old parts 5800X and a RX6750XT.

Apart from the GPU upgrade the only difference I found with the 5800X3D is Benchmark #'s between them.

The 6750XT had both CPU's under it.I only upgraded as It was a last upgrade for awhile(riight).

The 5800X is at a good price right now.

I hope that makes some sense.
