CPUID has released a new version of its famous CPU-Z hardware diagnostic tool. The new program recognizes the latest processors from AMD and Intel and clock unbuffered memory modules (CUDIMMs). In addition to detecting codenamed Granite Ridge and Arrow Lake products, the new program can now recognize re-badged Raptor Lake CPUs.

The latest CPU-Z version 2.12 can now detect AMD's Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor for gaming desktops and display its final specifications, including the 3D V-Cache size, as well as Core Ultra 200-series 'Arrow Lake-H' and 'Arrow Lake-HX' processors for high-end and gaming laptops. These CPUs are expected to be released early next year, but CPU-Z can recognize them and their specifications correctly. Assuming CPU-Z acknowledges all of these CPUs, the Alder Lake-H and HX lineups will be led by the Core Ultra 9 285H and Core Ultra 9 285HX processors, and the families will include five and six SKUs, respectively.

Since Intel's latest Core Ultra 200-series 'Arrow Lake-S desktop platform already supports clocked unbuffered memory modules, CPU-Z can now read their SPDs and properly detect CUDIMMs and their specifications.
