AIDA64 Extreme Update: Preliminary Support for AMD Zen 6 Processors and Intel Wildcat Lake Integration

The recent stable update of AIDA64 Extreme has officially included the AMD Zen 6 series in its database, signaling AMD’s advancements towards the forthcoming generation of processors.

AIDA64 Extreme 7.700.7500: New Support for AMD Zen 6 Series

Last month, the renowned hardware monitoring utility, AIDA64 Extreme, introduced support for AMD’s next-generation processors. While it was initially unclear whether this support pertained to the updated Zen 5 family (Ryzen 9000G) or the anticipated Zen 6 processors, the latest release—version 7.700.7500—has confirmed that preliminary support for AMD Zen 6 is now in place.

This update encompasses the Zen 6 processors intended for desktop, mobile, and server applications, with an official launch expected in 2026. While this announcement showcases AMD’s commitment to the Zen 6 lineup, no specific release date has been disclosed. Historically, the addition of support in AIDA64 typically indicates that the actual product launch follows within about a year. This aligns with prior reports that have confirmed a 2026 release for Zen 6, likely in the latter half of the year.

Although information on the specifications for Zen 6 remains limited, there are tantalizing rumors circulating. Reports suggest that the desktop CPUs could feature configurations with up to 12 cores on a single Core Complex Die (CCD), while the flagship model may achieve 32 cores. The mobile variant, codenamed Medusa Point, is poised to adopt a larger FP10 socket and will be equipped with integrated graphics based on RDNA 3.5 technology.

For the server segment, AMD’s EPYC Venice CPUs are set to deliver substantial performance enhancements, featuring configurations that support up to 256 cores. This upcoming series will potentially include up to 16 CCDs in the Zen 6C variants, while the traditional processors utilizing the Zen 6 architecture could accommodate up to 8 CCDs and reach configurations with as many as 96 cores.

In addition to enhancements for AMD processors, AIDA64 Extreme’s latest version has also incorporated preliminary support for Intel’s Wildcat Lake CPUs. This upcoming series, which is anticipated as the successor to the Alder Lake-N processors, is designed for low-power applications such as laptops and mini-PCs. While details about this lineup are sparse, earlier reports hinted at its development.
