AIDA64 Update 8.20 Released: Panel Bugs Fixed, 32-bit Windows Support Dropped

A major update for AIDA64 has been released, bringing the program to version 8.20. The update not only delivers a range of fixes and support for new hardware but also marks a significant milestone in the application's development—the complete abandonment of 32-bit operating systems.

Some of the most notable changes in AIDA64 8.20 concern the operation of its information panels. The SensorPanel and OSD panel now correctly restore their position on screen after the computer wakes from sleep or reboots. This solves a long-standing issue for users who actively rely on these tools for real-time system monitoring.

On the technical side, the update has added comprehensive information for certain graphics cards, including the AMD Radeon RX 7700 and the professional-grade NVIDIA RTX Pro 6000D Blackwell. The memory bandwidth benchmark has also been optimized for AMD's Milan and Rome series server CPUs. Of particular note is the support for external 5.2-inch and 8-inch Turing LCD displays. Owners of such devices can now display extensive system information on them.

The most fundamental change lies deep within the code. Version 8.20 is the result of the developers switching to a modern compiler and fully 64-bit components. A side effect of this necessary step is the final discontinuation of support for 32-bit (x86) versions of Windows, including Windows XP x64 Edition.

The update is already available for all editions of the program: the home-oriented Extreme, the engineer-focused Engineer, as well as the business editions Business and Network Audit.
