This is intriguing... I have a i9-10850k chip... This 12th gen is significantly faster than my my chip, both on single core and multi core... I could re-use my DDR4 memory and just replace the MB... And I still have more upgradability thru 14th gen CPUs...

Not sure if I should buy or wait for 15th gen CPUs... or switch to AM5... thoughts..?

Depends on how your budget looks and what you plan to use it for. From a gaming perspective if you already have DDR4 3200 you could just reuse it and get an LGA 1700 DDR4 B760 Motherboard for around $100-120. Going AM5 it's best to go with DDR5 6000(16GBx2 is around $80-100) and the 7600X is about $10 more than the i7-12700kf right now on Newegg. I'd say by going with the i7-12700kf processor you save $10 but you might lose around 10fps in certain games from the memory difference.

Either way both motherboard choices will support the 14th gen coming out and have PCIe 4.0 M.2 SSD support. The LGA1700 B760 Motherboards do have a future advantage in that they have PCIe 5.0 16x slots for 2025 and beyond Video Cards.

My own personal recommendation is to buy the i7 now but don't open it so you can use it as a fallback. Newegg and Amazon are about to go into an early Black Friday price war between now and the 10th because the 14th gen intel K chips come out on Oct 15th. Due to this I would keep an eye out for the 12th gen i9-12900kf to drop to around $240 and the i7-12700kf may go down even further. Another thing to look out for is the i5-13600kf to drop to $240 or less.

Great find. After living with an i7-10700f the past 2 years, I prefer to have integrated graphics next time. Just for the 1gb or so it saves from my GPU ram to drive my monitor when doing renders.

I love this CPU. Have several systems with that and the 12600K. Smokes my AMD chips and idles at super low power draw. Couldn't ask for more - except maybe cheaper motherboards though they are dropping finally.
