    I upgraded from a 12600K to a 14700K and for me it was worth it. From 6 cores at 4.9 GHz to 8 cores at 5.6 GHz.

    depends if you’re going to upgrade your ram AND mobo. with less than 7200mhz, stick to your z690 and 12700k. with a new 14th gen mobo, get the 14700k and get 7200mhz+ xmp ram.

    you cant keep you z690 as you will be stuck with your current ram kit, (it wont run 7200mhz ram). so it wont be as big of a jump. probably not even noticeable in games.
