For those who aren't aware, it's actually possible to purchase a 5700x, undervolt it and overclock it through PBO2. This can result in exceeding the performance of a 5800x in almost every benchmark, while also running cooler and consuming less energy. The 5800x is essentially a less energy-efficient, overclocked version of the 5700x. The 5700x has a superior capacity, due to its reasonable initial total power draw. I can guarantee that my overclocked 5700x never surges beyond the 60-65 degrees Celsius range, even with a Deepcool AG620 air cooler, and I live in one of the hottest regions on Earth.

What you said is correct, for most people 5700X is the smarter choice, but for people who are chasing more performance, the 5800X can be overclocked slightly higher.

And vice versa the 5700x is an underclocked 5800x. This might be due to lower silicon quality that doesn't reliably allow for higher clocks. Not saying some samples can't be run a lot faster than stock, of course, and either one is still a good CPU. When tweaked my 5800x boosts to 5.1GHz, CPU-Z st score of 678 at 55Β°C. At the moment it sustains 4.7GHz on all core loads at 80Β°C, CPU-Z mt 7100. To make it run like a 5700x I can set similar clocks, TDC, PPT and EDC and keeps the temps where I want. Where I live they cost the about the same (EU north) so it's a no brainer but availability is probably the biggest deal maker.

I will purchase a 5700x they run colder.

Where did you find the memory bandwidth speed? This is very interesting!

Can be easily calculated. Assuming 64 bit bus per memory channel which 99% of modern desktop/laptop CPUs use. 0.008*NumberOfChannels*MaxMemorySpeed. 0.008*2*3200 = 51.2 GB/s.

5700x is the winner, because it has the same 5800x's efficiency, but that one, 5700x, is cheaper e less hotter.

5700x, you get about 95% of the 5800x with near 40% less power consumption and less heat, so the cooler is quieter too. You are not going to notice the difference in 5% of efficiency but you will in your system trying to cool down the CPU that runs 10-15 degrees hotter.
