Yes, it's feasible to disable 4 cores on the 3900X, raise the voltage, and potentially boost performance to around 8 cores at approximately 4.8GHz for gaming. Using a system like the Noctua NH-D14 on an X570 board could work.

Even if it makes sense, it might not be necessary because those two CPUs offer nearly identical single-core performance improvements—each CPU's single-core stats are only marginally better than the other.

the 9900k appears to deliver roughly 5 extra frames per second in games compared to the 3900x

It wouldn't be worth it for 5 frames per second that you'll never see.

This has been refined through years of optimization to prioritize Intel CPUs, even though certain games support AMD options.

And wouldn't make much difference... if you can get unlimited LN2 and expect performance drops. Yeah, the 3900x is already matching single-core speeds at 3900x. Any cooling method won't push it beyond around 4.4GHz. That's assuming a high-end chip. You'd still need better cooling than what's available. Also, the 3900x offers an IPC boost of roughly 10-15% based on the task. Plus, some models handle more than 3900k smoothly, but that's about 5fps—nothing to worry about.
