Let's make this quick and easy...

Let's make this quick, because I need more answers and pros/cons.

 

Current CPU: R7 3700x

New CPU: either R7 7800X3D or R9 7900X

Main Tasks:

- 1080p Livestreaming Games (about 4-5h in a session)

- 1080p Gaming in general with friends (off-stream)
- 1080p/1440p Video Editing (multiple hours, multiple videos a week)

 

Which CPU is the better choice for above said tasks (also in comparison to my current CPU): R7 7800X3D or R9 7900X?

7800x3D because it's fastest gaming CPU currently thanks to high clocks & high cache, and it has few cores on hyperthreading so it can easily handle some non-hardcore creative  work

The streaming should be offloaded to the GPU, so not really relevant here. The gaming portion would favor the X3D.

This is much better on the 7800X3D, so point there.

How intensive are we talking? If it's just compiling stream highlights, it doesn't really matter which CPU you use as they should both be able to do this pretty easily.

even if you use CPU for whatever reason there should be enough idle cores while gaming most games too,

exactly, when you're gaming fast on hardware it doesn't magically fall in productivity always

Stream Highlights are one thing for sure, then there's some Nintendo Switch stuff I edit, and also a lot of Shorts. So there's kind of a big variety.

same thing different resolution + aspect ratio really for video editing, shorts should be easier since it's only 60s

That stuff still isn't that intensive. The things that are intensive are things like special effects and color corrections, things that you're not likely to do for the stuff you described. The 7900X would be better, sure, but the difference between the two isn't going to be big enough to lose out on the gaming benefits of the 7800X3D.

I moved from a 7900x to a 7800x3D and unless I time exports I've noticed zero difference in productivity in the real world. (coincidently I can same the same about gaming performance but I'm GPU limited 90% of the time)

 

Just get the 7800x3D, cheaper and far less power hungry.

People just seem to overlook the fact that the 7800X3D is still an 8 core / 16 thread CPU still.  It's not some 2c/4t gaming monster.  It's a real live modern CPU 🙂

7800x3d vs 7900x for creativity is like paying 50$ more for a bus that arrives 5 minutes earlier than the previous bus/train,

 

but you lose gaming performance because x3D has larger cache which is better for gaming
