The processor doesn't support dual CCD usage, so it can't run both simultaneously in gaming.

My 9900X operates at 5600 to 5800MHz with PBO and gaming performance. The 9950X is expected to reach 5900MHz with PBO.
It would cancel out the advantages of X3D and remain problematic because extra latency persists in cross-CCD communication. The value of X3D lies in reducing the need for frequent cross-IO transfers to memory, thanks to additional cache on the die which minimizes access time. To illustrate: picture painting two rooms with a bucket of paint in just one room. You'll complete the task faster by painting the room with the bucket nearby, avoiding constant trips back and forth.
