HWiNFO, the utility that gives us system data, has received a major update to support Intel Ice Lake and AMD Ryzen Pinnacle Ridge processors that have not yet reached the market.

The HWiNFO utility has been updated to version 5.7, which implements a lot of improvements and implementations, as it usually is when this application is updated. They are not normally relevant, but this update brings with it a lot of important things, such as support for technologies that are in development. On the one hand, we have preliminary support for Intel Whiskey Lake processors, which are the next processors for the notebook segment, based on the Intel Kaby Lake architecture, with lower consumption and that will be the province of AMD Ryzen Mobile.

Support has also been implemented for Intel Ice Lake processors, the company's upcoming 10nm-based processors. Processors based on 10nm have been waiting a long time and we have had to undergo two revisions of the 14nm node along the way and we still have another one before making the jump to 10nm, because the company has had enough problems Technicians to reduce the size of the transistors. Also, in the utility HWiNFO The indicator that tells us the Turbo Boost multipliers has been implemented in Intel processors, which has been deleted from the company's ARK pages, something that has not sat well and that we cannot support in any way.

Not only are there news in terms of Intel, new features have also been implemented with respect to AMD, since support is added to the next AMD Ryzen, called Pinnacle Ridge and that will arrive in 12nm, improving consumption and power. Support is also given for the company's next chipsets, the AMD 400 Series, which should bring some news at a technical level, but whose motherboards will continue to use the AM4 socket.
