An interesting official Intel support document has been uploaded for public viewing—a PDF with the title of "Intel Virtual RAID on CPU (Intel VROC) for Windows" mentions Fishhawk Falls Refresh (FHF-R) within its August 2023 release notes. FHF-R seems to make reference to an upcoming platform revision, rather than a refresh of a CPU lineup. The codename "Fishhawk Falls" was linked to 4th Gen HEDT Sapphire Rapids workstation counterparts late last year. The notes do refer to "Sapphire Rapids workstation-based platforms" in two places, so this could align with previous rumors of SR-R arriving early next year.

The latest discovery perhaps has Fishhawk Falls Refresh associated with 5th Generation Xeon Scalable "Emerald Rapids" processors. These workstation-oriented CPUs are predicted to launch as part of new Xeon W-2500 and Xeon W-3500 products lines. Intel and its board partners could be working on a revision of associated W790 chipset motherboards. Mainboard leaks have AMD's Threadripper 7000-series of workstation processors placed as the main competition going into 2024.

Only thing worse than AMD's dead-end HEDT platform(s) is Intel's vapourware HEDT platform since they abandoned the segment.
