Today FinalWire has announced the immediate availability of AIDA64 v4.30. All four editions of the popular system information software has been updated to the new version, including the award-winning PC diagnostics and benchmarking tool, AIDA64 Extreme, as well as the company's flagship IT asset management solution for business customers, AIDA64 Business.

New OpenCL GPGPU benchmark added

The new version comes with an additional multi-threaded OpenCL GPGPU benchmark which can be used to measure the SHA-1 hashing performance of modern graphics processors and APUs. As AIDA64 has included a hash benchmark for CPUs for years, users can now directly compare how good their GPUs and CPUs are at crunching one of the most widely used cryptographic hash functions. The latest versions also implements support for Microsoft Windows 8.1 Update 1 and Windows Server 2012 R2 Update 1 as well as for the latest hardware.

“Less than one and a half months have passed since the publication of our previous release. This time, we decided not to wait longer so that we can provide full support for the upcoming Windows update, which is very important for a lot of our customers. Besides the new GPU benchmark, I would also highlight that the business editions of AIDA64 are now capable of reading the binary keys from the Windows Registry, which can be a very useful feature when, for example, you want to track and inventory the security certificates installed in the browsers at a company”, said Tamás Miklós, lead developer at FinalWire.
