I’m building a new PC and I need to pick my next CPU. Both the 12700k and 13600k are the same price. They’ll be running on a z690 mb, with 16gb ddr4 ram at 3600mHz at the moment. I will use this PC for 3D modeling and rendering, and gaming. Which CPU should I pick?? I have looked at some reviews, but most of them put both at the same level, so I’m not sure what to buy.

Is the Z690 board updated with the latest bios in order to run a 13 gen cpu"
