If you're training neural networks, I'm not sure - I would wait for reviews of the 7950x3d (though in this case, you should almost always prefer a mid-tier GPU like a 3060ti)

If you're doing something like random forests or SVM, you're going to find yourself limited by SSD or even RAM speed loooooong before the difference between a 7950x3d and 7950x ever becomes relevant.

I am mainly looking for retraining models inception, yolo, etc. Using tenserflow and keras.

In that case don’t even worry about cpu, really you’d be fine with a 5600x equivalent. If the 7950x3d winds up being better value for money then fine, but otherwise your limiting factor will be your gpu, if not your data pipeline.
