Despite its unassuming presence, CPU-Z has cemented its status as an indispensable tool within the computer enthusiast community. From casual forum discussions to in-depth benchmark reviews, it has pervaded the tech landscape. However, a surprising omission from its repertoire has been the lack of support for ARM-based processors on Windows devices, limiting its functionality on ARM hardware. Breaking the silence, a new stand-alone version addresses this gap, ensuring that CPU-Z’s measuring capabilities are now accessible to Windows users, particularly those utilizing tablets and other ARM64 devices.
To acquire the latest ARM64 iteration, users can visit the CPUID website and select the newly introduced Windows ARM64 option on the CPU-Z page. As reported by VideoCardz.com, this version closely resembles the well-established X86/X64 variant, providing a consistent user experience. It’s worth noting that while CPU-Z has finally embraced ARM on Windows, it has long been a stalwart in the mobile realm, boasting an Android version that adeptly identifies numerous mobile chip variants.
Simultaneously, the original version of CPU-Z undergoes a significant update with version 2.09. This update enhances its capabilities on X86/X64 devices, allowing for the accurate identification of Intel’s new Arrow Lake 14th-gen Core desktop CPUs, AMD’s Hawk Point (Ryzen 8000) laptop chips, and Nvidia’s RTX 4070 Super. Moreover, users can now utilize the basic benchmark tool on both single coresets and clusters, further expanding the program’s utility.
