Intel Nova Lake and Diamond Rapids CPU gain preliminary support in popular monitoring utility

Granite Rapids CPU.

FinalWire has added preliminary support for Intel's Nova Lake and Diamond Rapids Xeon processors in the latest beta release of AIDA64—months or years before the CPUs hit shelves. This means that AIDA64 can now at least recognize these processors, though other functionality might be limited. Other updates include improved support on ASRock motherboards and a few bug fixes that led to incorrect specs being displayed for Intel's Arrow Lake processors.

For more context, AIDA64 and a handful of other benchmarking suites lay initial groundwork years before the product materializes. In July last year, AIDA64 received preliminary support for AMD's Zen 5 CPU lineup, which launched this year. To reiterate, preliminary support only identifies the CPU and nothing more. As support matures, expect improved compatibility across utilities like CPU-Z and Geekbench.
