The new AMD APU family has received support in the latest CPU-Z software, and the upcoming Intel Wildcat Lake has also been mentioned.

AMD's recently launched Ryzen AI 400 CPU series has just received support in the latest CPU-Z version 2.19. As per the release notes of the latest version, all the new Ryzen AI 400 desktop APUs, including the G and GE versions, have been added to the CPU-Z database. The series includes several SKUs under the Ryzen AI 7 and Ryzen AI 5 series, offering configurations of up to 8 cores and 16 threads.

This APU series is based on the Zen 5 architecture and is currently the only AM5-compatible lineup with RDNA 3.5-based integrated graphics. We don't know if AMD has any plans to release Strix Point APUs, aka Ryzen AI 7/9 400 series, for AM5, but for now, the Ryzen AI 400 remains the only alternate solution to Ryzen 8000G series APUs. We hope AMD releases the 10 and 12-core SKUs for the desktop as well as these chips will include much more powerful iGPUs such as Radeon 880M and 890M.

Apart from AMD's new chips, the CPU-Z v2.19 also adds support for the Intel Wildcat Lake . We have been talking about this series for a while now, and this addition indicates that we are approaching its launch. Intel Wildcat Lake is the ultra-power-efficient solution for low-power and compact devices. These are significantly cut-down "Panther Lake" chips, based on the same Cougar Cove Performance and Darkmont LP-E cores. Wildcat Lake will succeed the Intel Alder Lake N/Twin Lake series, offering 15W chips with 6 MB cache as recently spotted in an NBD shipping manifest .

According to previous reports, Wildcat Lake should be launched in the first half of 2026, and the addition to the CPU-Z database indicates that the launch is getting closer. Another interesting addition to the CPU-Z v2.19 is the CQDIMM (4-rank CUDIMM) memory support. CQDIMM memory is the new DDR5 memory standard that brings a clock driver on the module itself, allowing it to reach higher frequencies while retaining high capacities. We have seen how ASRock was able to reach 7400 MT/s using 2x CQDIMM DDR5 128 GB memory sticks, which is typically unfeasible on conventional DDR5 DIMMs.
