Can a 12th gen motherboard support 13th gen Intel CPUs?

I'm deciding beetween a few Intel CPUs for my NZXT gaming PC build. I'm between an i5 12600K & i7 of the same type & gen as well as the i9. Also looking at a few 13th gen Intel CPUs that just hit the market since 12th gen intel CPU stock is a bit iffy right now on some sites and pricing is all over the place. Could I use a 13th gen Intel CPU on an NZXT N7 Z690 motherboard? Would like the ability to easily swap a 12th gen for a 13th gen if I end up deciding to give the new CPUs a try. Also does anyone have a good list of compatible CPUs with integrated graphics for my build?

I also should point out that my motherboard uses the LGA 1700 socket and I've read online but can't officially confirm that Intel has maintained compatibility for LGA 1700 sockets on the Raptor Lake CPUs.
