CPU-Z 1.96 Adds Support For Intel Alder Lake 12th Gen CPUs, Z690 Motherboards, DDR5 Memory & AMD Ryzen 5000G Cezanne Desktop APUs Apr 15, 2021 23:27 EDT
CPU-Z has received its latest update which adds preliminary support for several next-generation CPU platforms from Intel and AMD. The monitoring utility provides real-time information of the CPU, DRAM, Motherboard, and DRAM running on your PC and even lets you benchmark CPUs vs other pre-benchmarked in its database.
CPU-Z 1.96 Adds Preliminary Support For Intel 12th Gen Alder Lake CPUs, AMD s Ryzen 5000G Cezanne Desktop APUs, Z690 Motherboards & DDR5 Memory
Starting with the key highlights, we first have support for Intel s 12th Gen Alder Lake CPUs along with the respective Z690 Desktop Series motherboards. Now what s interesting about Alder Lake is that how it s arranged with a hybrid core design. Traditional desktop and mobile CPUs make use of just one consistent core architecture while 12th Gen Alder Lake CPUs will be mak

Another AMD Ryzen 5000G Cezanne Desktop APU based on the Zen 3 core architecture has leaked out. The engineering sample we are looking at is a PRO variant of the Ryzen 5000G family & should reportedly be better than the Ryzen 7 5800X Vermeer CPU in a couple of ways as reported by the leaker.
AMD Ryzen 5000G Cezanne Zen 3 Desktop APU Spotted - Expected To Cost Lower Than Vermeer But Also Deliver Similar Performance
As was the case with the Ryzen 4000G (Renoir) and the Ryzen 3000 (Matisse) family, we will see a similar advantage for the monolithic Ryzen 5000G (Cezanne) APUs versus the chiplet Ryzen 5000 (Vermeer) family. A screenshot of the CPU-z for the AMD Ryzen 5000G engineering sample was posted over at Chiphell and shows us preliminary specifications for the upcoming chip which also seem to be similar to the sample that leaked out last week.
Starting with the changes, the CTR 2.0 update brings a new graphical user interface that offers dark mode support and blends in with a more modern UI. The whole interface is now more streamlined and looks cleaner than the previous versions. However, the main feature to talk about aside from the addition of AMD Ryzen 5000 Zen 3 CPU support is the new Hybrid OC feature.
According to the data shared by Yuri, the Hybrid OC mode is a combination of custom profiles and auto boost which means that users won t have to worry about choosing between standard boost & manual overclocking. Hybrid OC mode has two main profiles, P1 and P2. The P1 profile is designed to offer the maximum all-core boost while the P2 profile maximizes gaming performance by tuning the CPU to offer the maximum performance for a singular and best CCX (or multiple CCX). Both of these profiles can also be configured manually by users themselves.
