Intel Unveils 13th Generation Core Raptor Lake-S September 27th, available October 20th.
Intel's 13th Gen Core series will be released in two stages over the next two months. A leaked slide from an internal presentation says that the new series would be unveiled on September 27th at the Intel Innovation event (listed as 28th for Taiwan).
According to @wnxod's Go To Market (GTM) roadmap it also indicates that Intel would launch a preorder campaign for its flagship Core i9 series immediately, followed by the Core i7 and Core i5 series two weeks later. However, none of those CPUs will be available until October 20th, about a month after AMD's formal Ryzen 7000 series launch on September 27th. Intel will launch three Core K-series CPUs in the initial wave: the i9-13900K, i7-13700K, and i5-13600K. Non-K parts and their mobile equivalents are not mentioned in the roadmap. These should also be available next year. Regarding Z790 motherboards, the selling embargo should be lifted on the same day that all three Core series become accessible.
Intel Raptor Lake launch schedule:
- September 27th (28th Taiwan): Intel 13th Gen Core Announcement
- September 27th (28th Taiwan): Intel i9-13900K preorders
- October 13th: Intel i7-13700K, i5-13600K preorders
- October 20th: availability of Core i9/i7/i5 series

That would depend on the price. If it was a good deal, then it's perfectly fine since there's nothing wrong about 12700K. It ought to remain a highly capable CPU for a number of years. However, if there were no discounts or anything, it could be considered a bit regretful. In my opinion graphics cards are much worse buys very close to the next gen because the advantages of the new gen tend to be higher. I'm only talking about gaming and random use of other software here, though, but I reckon anyone buying a 12700K wasn't looking for a multithread monster for serious CPU compute anyway.
It wasnt a best time to build a new system so close to new generation from both intel and amd.

Dont get me wrong 12700k is a great chip and if it was on sale even better but i thought you could have 13700k for very similar price if waiting few months was an option. I noticed as everyone hyping for zen4 cpus the zen3 like 5700x and 5900x ware dropping in price. There is some really nice deals to be had but we all want newest and greatest, right?

Personally, i wouldn`t mind buying a system with a 12700K, if i could find one for less than 300€.
It`s a great CPU and i think it`s going to hold on very well for the foreseeable future.

The difference between 12700k and 13700k is rumored to be 10% in singlecore load.
The 13700k is faster if you can use the extra E-cores, but they are not going to be used in gaming, especially not with 8 P- cores already.
The difference between 12700k and 13700k is rumored to be 50 Watts more on the 13700k, depending heavily on what motherboard limits are used.
Look up reviews, it does not really get any better then a 12700k for 4k gaming.
Clock it to 12900k stock speeds if needed and forget about the 13 series.
I bought a 5800x on sale and gained 5 FPS in Cyberpunk 2077 at 1440p high, no ray trace. (From Ryzen 1700x to 5800x)
Apex legends gave the highest boost, 200 to 250 FPS jump and then I turned on V-sync and locked it to 165hz screen, and the difference disappeared completely.
Damn, and I just upgraded to 12700K, Z690 mobo, and DDR5. I hope the socket will be the same. so that Z690 will be supported for 4+ years should I need to upgrade later on to a faster CPU. But I only game at 4K, so it should not matter. GPU is more important
