Any thoughts on the 2023 Alpina B7 drivetrain?

Story on bmw blog on the supposed new engines for the 2023 7 series.

If the new 760 powertrain (635hp) will be a hopped up version of the same 4.4l that will be in the new 750 (545 hp), how will the B7 be differentiated in the lineup (other than the Alpina suspension and non-engine bits)? Ignoring whether the B7 will be an EV like the i7, which seems unlikely.

Alpina usually adds larger turbos, forged rods/pistons, and a more free flowing exhaust in addition to remapped engine software.

I'd imagine they will at least be in the range of the XB7 which is 617 hp.
