AIDA64 update focuses on Strix Point, Granite Ridge and Panther Lake

FinalWire has released a new version of AIDA64, seemingly designed for next-gen architecture.

Among the new features is a 64-bit benchmark called CheckMate, supporting AVX-512, AVX2, and AVX instructions. The company has also developed a separate AVX-512 benchmark for AMD Ryzen AI APUs, codenamed Strix Point, set to launch later this month.

An interesting update is for Panther Lake, which has received “improved support.” It’s important to note that, unofficially, there’s little evidence of engineering samples based on this architecture. Therefore, this support most likely refers to early CPU-ID recognition.

The patch notes also mention GPU details for Granite Ridge, the codename for AMD Ryzen 9000. This architecture uses the same I/O Die as previous models, featuring built-in RDNA2 graphics. Thus, it should now recognize these integrated graphics just as it does for Raphael (Ryzen 7000)
