I just want you to know that if you live near a Microcenter, I hate you :-(
The danger to going with this deal is AMD comes out with the X3D chip(s) during CES and obliterates all competition again just like the 5800X3D did when it released. The problem with that is the AM5 motherboards are expensive right now. I'm on a 7700K box and I'm also contemplating on just picking up a cheap AM4 mobo and cpu but would be dead end (but still cheap). I would personally rather do that than pick up a 13900K which is also a dead platform. Those benchmarks beat AMD only when you go with DDR5 ram so if you're going to fork over that much money, you might as well do it on an AM5 motherboard so you can upgrade to a 8000 or 9000 series Ryzen in a few years with the same motherboard.


TLDR:
go AM4 if you want to upgrade cheap (CPU prices have never been cheaper)
go Intel 13XXX if you want something faster than AM5 in productivity and 1080p gaming.

go AM5 if you want flexibility to upgrade to a 2024 or 2025 processor.
You can still use an old Z690 board for it, it just has to support being able to flash to a newer BIOS without a cpu installed

As one use says you can use Z690. But yes absolutely. Gen 13 destroys 12 in every way....

Yeah i know. Trying to have someone convince me to keep the 12700k + asus z690 tuf combo for $350 (after tax) or go to 13700k for $383 (after tax) + keep my msi z690 edge (with bios flashback!) that i paid $213 (after tax) for. Decisions decisions...

After tax, delta is about $213 between the 12th gen and 13th gen setups. Also i could instead sell the asus mobo for $150ish and use the msi board, making the 12th gen combo $413 after tax, or $183 delta between them for a better mobo.

Still rocking 4790k and 1080ti but about to cave and upgrade. Seems like no brainer to pick intel over AMD this gen but I almost want to get AMD to be able to upgrade the processor that has the same socket in the next five years ( if they decide to even support AM5 as long as am4) Has there been any further details from AMD on this? Last time I checked their answer on extended socket support was just "maybe". Just gonna be hard to shell out a premium on an AMD board, ddr5 and a worse value processor.

Is that because it's an old board? What board won't I need to flash bios and it'll work?

A Z790 board will work out of the box, the Z690 will need to have their BIOS updated in order to recognize the 13th gen CPUs. Can save some money getting a Z690 if you can put up with the hassle of flashing it. (not all boards can flash w/o CPU installed tho, something to keep in mind when shopping)

Memory controller capped at 6000 (1d2r), will bios update bump it?
