No, there would be no performance gains in macOS, as the X3D naming was a marketing gimmick from AMD that never really provided the headline frame rates they claimed.
The increase in level-3 cache from 32 to 96MB is something to think about if your work/leisure processes can make use of it, but the chips in both CPU's are identical. The X variant is already configured to run at the maximum clock rate for that chip in a 500 Series motherboard. The X3D is slightly under clocked compared to the X version, it also has lower single and multicore scores.
I would never recommend this as a viable upgrade.
If you want to see an improvement over the Ryzen 7 5800X then you need to look at the 5000 series Ryzen 9 5900X or 5950X 12/16-core CPU, not another Ryzen 7 8-core CPU.
