I built a 13600k system late last year (going from 9700k) as I was thinking about chucking a 13900k in it once prices came down. Now then sounds like a 14700k will be an even better option, intel are being unusually generous with this socket.

Yep. One of our home systems is a 12600k which is going to ideal for a 14700k upgrade.

If true the 14700k is looking like the one to go for.

Buying a new revision of the 790 boards would seem pointless to me and my needs, considering that the socket support for future CPU's is ending after the RL refresh.
More life for my 690 board, seems good to me.
The 14700k seems interesting, good to see what the differences will be when tested in how those extra E cores are used.
Otherwise a 3%or so potential uplift, is not great..... Not terrible. Somewhat expected I suppose from a refresh.
Interesting to see the prices, as well as the rest of the RL CPU's when these release.

Yeap I agree, upgrading from Z690 to Z790 makes non sense. The only real advantage is higher memory speeds, but you'll not notice these outside of memory bandwidth benchmarks. Certainly not at 4k, where the GPU is still the bottleneck.
I'll probably grab a 14900k if it's significantly more efficient/better binned than a 13900k, but I doubt it will be, so probably won't bother.

Depends on price, 13900k is still superior to the 14700k on paper. Will be interesting to see benchmarks when they release

MSI leaks 14th Gen info
Right so they renamed them 14'th gen...
The i7 14700k gets 4 more cores. If Intel price it well, it'll be very hard to beat for all round performance.

5% at most if you can keep the thermals/power consumption in check
Ok, not to bad then for me.
Unfortunately it appears to be the exact same CPU. So same 10nm process, same exact architecture, literally no hardware changes.
We had hoped these would have process improvement, or the new DLVR (voltage regulator) which might have reduced power consumption by 20%, sadly these seem to be untrue.
Best we can hope for at this point is that these are ultra well binned parts. So you could see an average 14900k hitting 6Ghz consistently compared to an average 13900k which struggles to maintain 5.8Ghz in single core applications. We just don't know yet.

I am hoping that the refresh will not be priced higher than their counterparts, but reduce the cost of tbe 13x00 range.
I get used to being disappointed.......

Well the 14900K is going to be pointless in a way if a 14900KS follows shortly after.
Does anyone know if the whole product stack will be Raptor Lake refresh or a split Alderlake/Raptorlake like the 13th gen as their could be some good buys/upgrades lower down the stack.
