Maybe time to finally move from my 9900k

Depends what you pair it with. With a 4090 at 1440p UW, it was an issue for me and mine was tuned as it gets. The 13600k (tuned) is way faster esp at min fps and RT scenarios.

I have been doing a lot of unreal engine work lately, So starting to lag in that area. Gaming at 4k you are completely correct, It still smashes most games

Gaming only, will these new 14th gen chips offer much improvement over 13
Soldato
click on the previous page or two, some estimations there
EDIT: FWIW I'm waiting to see not only the actual performance differences in games but also any price adjustments on the non-refresh RL CPU's as well as any AMD response, other than nothing, lol.
Reminded, of course, this should be the last Socket 1700 CPU.
Then again at 4k I'm expecting minimal differences, depending on the game played.

That 14700k will be a very decent upgrade from my trusty 12600 non-k.
I would, should be a pretty big jump in performance. Not much so from 13th gen to 14th but 12th to 14th should be pretty noticeable.

7 days to go until the Intel event where we should get the spec / pricing finalized.

Maybe they'll be available soon after. For a refresh I don't know why they'd want to drag it out any longer. Must have plenty of stock ready to be shipped surely
Depends how highly binned these are. We've seen a QVL with only 1.35v needed for 6Ghz boost - which is an incredibly highly binned CPU.
Lol, my old i5 [email protected] will be THE upgrade, looking at the 14700K but seriously looking at a humble but fast AMD 7700x, reason being AM5 has better upgrade path since I'm going full system upgrade ie everything. I could try and hold out for the Ryzen 8000 series early next year, but I do need to upgrade ASAP.
Amazing my Asus z68 board with i5 2500k overclocked still working great and yes I use it everyday for gaming etc, amazing for twelve years old (with 12 year old Corsair PSU made by Seasonic).
Also heat issue on 14700k is still unknown and I do prefer air cooler over AIO.
Side note I still have an old Epox NF4 motherboard going strong, I miss that brand.
Anyway I have a lot to consider ie 14th gen , Ryzen 7000 and 8000, is there ever a good time to upgrade .

I wouldn't go with Intel in your case as there is no upgrade path, unless you are planning on keeping it for another 10+ years. AMD and DDR5 would be the best choice for future upgradability. Whichever route you choose it will be one hell of a upgrade.
Soldato
Is the upgrade path really important in this instance? That last PC lasted 12 years without going for an Ivybridge 4c/8t upgrade.
it really depends on when he plans to upgrade again
If it's a medium term upgrade then amd is still better cause AMd has significant gains each generation, so even AM5 only got another two generations of CPUs going forward and he upgraded in 5 to 7 years from now, he'd still be able to pickup a second hand Ryzen 9700x for cheap and it would be a big upgrade over a 7700x.
But if he definitely will not upgrade for 12 years then it doesn't matter which one you go with because after 12 from now, finding AM5 CPUs will be difficult and possibly not financially worth it anymore so you'd never get to use the upgrade path anyway

Personally I've not tended to worry too much about upgrade path over the years - too many times either Intel or AMD have just abandoned a platform on a whim, or the opposite one has made such a huge leap forward in their new platform making the older platforms obsolete even when they had an upgrade path, etc. you are better off if you worry about that kind of thing really being prepared to sell up and move on.
Kind of looking at the 14700K for my next build but really I want to go at least 10 performance cores, 20 thread minimum as my existing highest end systems are 8 core / 16 thread as it is.

I have upgraded my video card over the years on that old system a few times, however my next build from scratch will be between now and Ryzen 8000 series release date depending on my upgrade urge, I've around 2.5K set aside for my spending budget which I have right now.
I've more free time now in my old age of 60 (gamer since 1980s) which means more gaming
. I only upgrade when I really need to rather then "trying to keep up with the Joneses". Btw the new build will be for Starfield and future games down the road.As to when I will upgrade after my next build?... Probably within 5-6 years but hard to say right now.
I decided not to wait for 14th gen and went with AMD Ryzen 7800X3D CPU and XFX 7900XT combo with B650e board and Win11, always something better around the corner.
. It'll be massive upgrade over my i5 2500k and AMD RX480 old pc which will be a backup probably for Linux.

Intel confirms 2024-2025 client CPU lineup: Arrow Lake, Lunar Lake and Panther Lake
I'm expecting big IPC and performance per watt improvements from Arrow Lake, good that it's on track for (early?) 2024 release. It'll need to be outstanding to compete with Zen5.
