I would suggest running a 12th or 13th gen on a z690 with DDR4. For graphics or gaming you will not notice any difference. For compute tasks you MAY see a 5% difference. The current DDR5 is much more expensive for limited benefit. If you buy a slower DDR5 kit it performs worse than a fast DDR4 kit. This is not any different than we have seen in prior RAM generation changes. It was like this for the move to DDR2, DD3 and DDR4. Overtime the costs go down the timings on the new memory get dramatically better. For z690 DDR5 and DDR4 boards are the same cost.
The big difference is the RAM cost. (see pc partpicker)
2x32gb DDR4 3200 cl16 is 165$
2x32gb DDR5 5200 265$ (if you want CL28 good luck... i picked the cheapest cruddiest DDR5 on the list)
You are looking at 100$ difference for RAM with pretty limited performance benefits. Would an extra 100$ for your GPU do more? Maybe an extra 1tb on your NVME SSD?
It comes down to current sales and bang for your buck.
If your talking just gaming then AMD 7600x and 12600 are pretty close. For most uses the graphics card will haver a larger impact than anything a 7600x vs 12600.
Keep in mind the AM4 chipsets are pretty long in the tooth at this point. An intel 12100 or 12400 or AMD 7600x etc will all be similar in most games.

Exaclty. no reason to buy Intel if you are cheaping out on D5 And no 12400 and 12100 is not similar to 7600x. In fact 12600k ddr5 doesn't even matxh the 7600x. The only time a 13600k matches the 7600x is with 6400 ddr5. You don't have to take my word for it. Go research.
