This leak confirms a 14700k price for a Z690, aligning with the LGA 1700 specification.
along with every version of BIOS currently available for Z690 and Z790, there are updates labeled "for next gen processors"
We haven't learned for weeks that RPL-Refresh remains on LGA1700.
I don't believe it will hit stable at 6.3ghz on anything other than the 14900ks. I think it's better to hold off and see what next-gen Ryzen X3D offers—especially if they improve overclocking—or go with 15th/16th gen Intel, which could make a much bigger impact than moving up to 14th generation.
