Not quite, a 3950x either matches or beats the 7980xe in nearly every benchmark: https://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/2558?vs=2128
And it's likely the 7980xe would be out of warranty by now. So a used 3950x + motherboard for 50k is a far better option.
5000 series is in a class of its own, here's the eight core 5800x almost keeping up with the sixteen core 3950x: https://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/2675?vs=2666
X299/X399 exists today only for the expanded memory and storage options. For everything else, it's been superseded by newer and better platforms.
