AIDA64 8.40 adds preliminary support for AMD Zen 7 and abandons 32-bit Windows systems

FinalWire has released version 8.40 of its diagnostic and monitoring suite known as AIDA64. This comes in its four usual editions, namely Extreme, Engineer, Business and Network Audit. The first thing that caught our attention when reading the release notes is that support for old platforms is ending. That means that the tool is no longer compatible with 32-bit Windows and Windows XP x64.

Now it can only be installed on 64-bit computers with modern operating systems, although it is not specified exactly which versions will be supported. Based on what you mention, it looks like the latest version will work from Windows Vista 64-bit onwards, not including any 32-bit versions.

Preliminary support for the Zen 7 architecture is also arriving

Among the new features that have been announced, the update anticipates the arrival of future AMD platforms by introducing preliminary compatibility with server processors based on the Zen 7 architecture. Likewise, the software optimizes the identification of the Verano and Verano-D chips, while adding specifications and monitoring parameters for the AMD Radeon RX 9050 graphics card, facilitating the reading of frequencies and voltages in real time.

The delivery also expands the recognition of thermal sensors through the ATKACPI interface and adds compatibility with Matrix Orbital LCD screens, specifically the EVE3-29-IPS, EVE3-38-IPS and EVE4-104 models. Finally, The developers have fixed the bugs in uploading reports via FTP that affected the Business and Network Audit business variants during periodic automated inventory tasks on corporate networks.

You can now obtain the new version from the company’s official website. The price of the cheapest edition, the Extreme, is 59.95 euros for three computers. The rest of the editions range between 129 and 219 euros.
