The 7800X3D can only be a stupid choice if cherrypicking benchmarks, even at the same price.
There are a quite a few benchmarks in reviews where the difference is small. That's not to say the 7800X3D is a better choice for productivity, just that it's not universally "100% stupid".
One cannot simply look at rendering as a universal benchmark for productivity as a whole. Sure, the 7950X is over 100% faster in rendering, but still only 36% faster overall.
Remove those rendering numbers from the average productivity score, since you're using a GPU for rendering anyway, and the lead gets even smaller.
