I'm still waiting to see some performance review of the 14900k other than the speculation at the moment. I have a 12900k a 4090, and 690 board. Not sure should hop on getting the CPU or just wait till new board, new CPU, an new gpus are all out maybe next year or the following.
That way do the whole thing in one go, but super curious about the performance jump.

If you main use is gaming and you play at 4K (or even 1440p likely), I'd wait if you're willing to wait. I went from 12900k to 13900k and saw some improvements at 1440p, but nothing huge in games. I think what was most notable is that my CPU runs cooler to do the same work and the fact that I can OC the 13900k to 6GHz on up to 4 core-loads means that some things actually saw a benefit.
 
I think 14900k from what I've read online seems like it'll be a very small improvement over 13900k...so if you want to go exotic cooling and OC it, you might see some improvement in games. If you want to run it stock, I'd say just stick with what you have, but it does look like whatever intel offers next is still a fairly unknown quantity. I have no idea exactly what or when that will launch or how the performance will be.
 
One thing I'd advise anybody running EVGA boards on is that even if they do release a new BIOS for 14th gen, I would advise patience on launch week(s). It took them several attempts to get a stable BIOS out that ran 13th gen, which took a little while. There were some issues...a few.

Looking forward to the refresh.  I am still sporting the 12900k and a 3090 but plan to refresh for 14900k and 4090 TI.  If I can keep my Z690 KP, that would be fantastic


This was the last info I saw on a 4090 Ti. ->  https://www.tomshardware.com/news/nvidia-reportedly-cancels-rtx-4090-ti-plans-512-bit-bus-next-gen-flagship
 
Maybe you read something newer??

Love all the hopeful bumps but nothing bouncing back.  Just wait.  It will come or it won't. The present won't change the future.  EVGA does not care about anything anyone says.

And were down to 4 days. 

Central Computers confirmed the presale date of October 16th and launch/retail date of October 17th. I am hoping EVGA gets their BIOS out by 16th so I can install it on the 17th when I pick it up from my local Microcenter.

..when I pick it up from my local Microcenter.

I'll be able to say that soon since they are building one down here.

EVGA is down to 21hrs before you're able to walk out of a store with 1 in hand. 
 
Where is the BIOS update?

Got a Z690 October 7th, my £560 14900kf Is due to be delivered tomorrow before 1pm. Waiting patiently. I have no other compatible CPU so as you can Imagine I got a lot riding on this bios, I'm sure they'll pull through.
