Finalwire has unleashed v4.20 of one of the most popular system information utilities on the planet, AIDA64. This release features a new memory stress test and Intel Haswell refresh support, among others.
Budapest, Hungary – February 12, 2013 – Today FinalWire has announced the immediate availability of AIDA64 v4.20. All four editions of the recently revamped AIDA64 product family have been updated to the new version, which introduces a new multi-threaded memory stress test, rewritten from scratch, and support for the AMD Mantle API.
The new multi-threaded memory stress testing engine now uses SSE2, AVX, AVX2 and FMA acceleration, and scales up to 128 logical processors (or up 640 logical processors in AIDA64 Engineer and AIDA64 Business). As a result, the test puts the memory subsystem under more extreme load than before. The February update makes AIDA64 one of the first system diagnostic tools to offer support for Mantle, introducing a new information page dedicated to AMD’s new graphics API. The latest release also implements full support for Intel “Haswell Refresh”, “Bay Trail”, “Avoton” and “Rangeley” processors.
