Question 7800x3d or 7950x3d? Does the latter still have performance issues?

[Just That Dude]

I am planning on building a new PC and I'm finding it difficult on deciding whether to pick the 7800x3d or the 7950x3d. I will use my PC for gaming at 1440p at 240Hz, and some minor productivity like photoshop and video editing software.

I have a few questions that I hope someone can answer to help me decide which CPU is best for me.

1. Does the 7950x3d have issues utilising its x3d cores? I read in old posts that it struggles to make use of them properly and a third party tool such as project lasso is needed? Is this still the case or has this been fixed by AMD? Some people on some threads are saying using xbox game bar is sufficient and project lasso is not needed? Could someone shed some light on this matter?
2. If the 7950x3d properly utilises its x3d cores for gaming, is it basically the same gaming performance as a 7800x3d or is it better or worse? I've seen some benchmarks from Hardware Unboxed posted 2 days ago, which seem to show the 7800x3d being 7% faster in a 13 day game average benchmark, how is this possible if the 7950x3d has its other cores parked during gaming?
3. Are there any 1440p gaming benchmarks comparing these two CPU's with the 7950x3d properly making use of its x3d cores?

I currently have a 5900x which has served me well. The thing that is holding me back from choosing the 7950x3d is if the gaming performance is significantly worse. And the thing that is holding me back from choosing the 7800x3d is that it has only 8 cores.

Any help would be much appreciated!
