I'd say that if you're interested in gaming, your best choice would be the 13600K over the 13900K or any of the current X3D processors. It's just as fast and massively cheaper. The 7800X3D could be a good alternative, but we won't know until it launches as AMD hasn't revealed its final clock speeds, and some games still prefer faster clocks over more cache. But well, that one also has the advantage of being on a platform that will get two (maybe three?) more CPU launches, so you could get an upgrade later on without breaking the bank (unless you want to).

AFAIK the cached CCD should have about the same clockspeeds across all three processors, and it's just the cacheless CCD that's faster across the 79xx3D parts?

In the TechPowerUp review you can see the CCD1 alone has significantly higher clock speeds.

It's still a bit in the grey area. When AMD announced the three X3D CPUs, they left the base clock of the 7800X3D undefined, sugesting that it could be lower than the other two. That may have changed as you can now find that slide with a 4.2GHZ base clock fot he 7800X3D, same as the other two, but this back and forth makes it hard to guess what we'll see in the end.

Even Techpowerup said that they'd be lower in the first page of its simulated 7800X3D article:

"In this review, we present performance numbers of a Ryzen 9 7950X3D processor with its second CCD disabled, leaving it with just the one with the 96 MB L3 cache. This contraption isn't a perfect simulation of a 7800X3D—the clock-speeds of the 7800X3D will be lower according to AMD's announcement, and boosting behavior may be slightly different. These numbers will still give you a fairly good idea of what to expect from the 7800X3D, and whether it's worth waiting a month to save some money."
