CPU Z 2.20 adds support for AMD Gorgon Halo, Intel Wildcat Lake, and Bartlett Lake

CPUID has released CPU Z 2.20, adding support for several current and upcoming AMD and Intel processors.

CPU Z remains one of the most widely used tools for checking processor, motherboard, memory, and system details. Because of that, new CPU support matters. It helps the software correctly identify hardware before or shortly after launch, especially when newer chips begin appearing in retail systems, engineering samples, or early leaks.

The new update adds support for AMD Gorgon Halo, Ryzen PRO 9000, Gorgon Point 2 and 3, Intel Wildcat Lake, Intel Bartlett Lake, and new Intel Arc Pro GPUs.

On the AMD side, the most interesting addition is Gorgon Halo. CPU Z now recognizes Ryzen AI Max chips such as the Ryzen AI Max Plus 495, 492, and 488, along with some PRO versions. These chips are important because they target powerful mobile and workstation style systems with strong CPU, GPU, and AI capabilities.

The update also adds support for the Ryzen PRO 9000 series. That includes the Ryzen 9 PRO 9965X3D, a workstation focused chip with 3D V Cache. Some Ryzen PRO 9000 models still appear to be missing, so CPUID may need another update later to complete the lineup.

Intel also gets a large batch of additions. CPU Z 2.20 now supports Wildcat Lake chips, including Core 5 and Core 3 models. These are expected to serve more mainstream and budget systems.

Bartlett Lake support is also included, covering Intel’s P core only chips. The flagship Core 9 273PQE is part of the list, alongside several lower end models. Bartlett Lake has attracted attention because some users have been experimenting with these chips on consumer Z790 motherboards through BIOS modifications.

The update also recognizes Intel’s Core Ultra 5 250KF Plus, an 18 core Arrow Lake Refresh chip. Other related variants had already been added in previous CPU Z updates.

For graphics, CPU Z now supports Intel Arc Pro B70 and B65, both based on the BMG G31 GPU. These cards are aimed more at professional and workstation users than regular gaming PCs.

The timing is also notable because CPUID recently had to deal with malware issues affecting popular utilities such as CPU Z and HWMonitor. With version 2.20, the company is back to its usual work of updating hardware detection for upcoming platforms.

This is not a flashy update for everyday users, but it is useful for reviewers, builders, overclockers, workstation users, and anyone testing new hardware. As more AMD Gorgon Halo, Ryzen PRO 9000, Intel Wildcat Lake, and Bartlett Lake systems appear, CPU Z should now identify them more accurately.
