There’s no doubt that CPU-Z is one of the lightest and yet most powerful software solutions to collect hardware information about your CPU and memory, so every single update delivered by the team behind the project is quite important for millions of users out there.

CPU-Z 1.70 was thus launched officially this morning, bringing some important improvements on Windows machines, which include support for new processors.

For example, the new version can now collect data about the following processors: Intel i7-5960X, i7-5930K, i7-5820K, i7-4790K, i5-4690K, and Pentium G3258, while also adding support for the TSX instruction set, including RTM and HLE subparts.

As you could easily guess, nothing changes as far as the supported operating systems are concerned, so you can download and use CPU-Z on pretty much all Windows versions on the market. Including Windows XP, that is, even though Microsoft no longer provides updates and security patches for this OS version since April, which means that fewer products are now working on it.

Overall, this is clearly an update that comes in very handy to many users out there, so you should download CPU-Z 1.70 right now to see what it brings new. The interface is as simple as before, so you shouldn’t have any problems in reading data about your hardware.
