I bought a 5950X a few years back for gaming AND productivity. This thing absolutely tears through games at 4K and when I am working on multiple VMs or running other tasks for work, this PC doesn't break a sweat. Everyone getting worked up over 1080p benchmarks like 2005 is calling for it's monitor back... lol.
Whether or not the 7950X3D and 7900X3D perform well for both type of tasks will likely be up to Windows Scheduler and AMD's drivers (yikes?)... we will all find out soon enough. TBH, I will be skipping this generation as my 5950X should hold out just fine at 4K gaming until next generation I believe. Then I'll see if AMD or Intel is better and go whatever route makes sense.
