</h3>

<p>
	Alongside the v8.25 release, FinalWire introduces the new AIDA64 Command Line Builder, an online tool designed to simplify the creation of command line parameters. The web-based utility allows users to generate properly structured switches quickly and accurately, reducing configuration errors and improving automation workflows in enterprise deployments. Command line options are available exclusively in our business product line. The tool is available here: <a href="https://www.aida64.com/user-manual/command-line-builder" rel="external">AIDA64 Command Line Builder</a>.
</p>

<h3 id="compatibility-with-previous-windows-versions">
	Compatibility with previous Windows versions
</h3>

<p>
	The move to a modern compiler and native 64-bit binaries has also resulted in a significant shift: AIDA64 v8.xx will no longer support 32-bit Windows versions or Windows XP x64. While this decision was necessary to modernize the software and enable the new features, it marks a clear direction towards supporting the latest operating systems and hardware.
</p>

<h3 id="pricing-and-availability">
	Pricing and Availability
</h3>

<p>
	The AIDA64 product family for Windows PCs consists of three business editions and a home edition. The company's flagship IT asset management offering with hardware diagnostic features is AIDA64 Business, while a dedicated network inventory solution called AIDA64 Network Audit is also available, for a lower license fee. Designed for corporate engineers and IT technicians, AIDA64 Engineer includes expert tools not available in AIDA64 Extreme, the home edition of the software. Today all four AIDA64 editions are updated to v8.25.

	<span style="font-size:12px;"><em>*Definition of capacity: KIOXIA defines a megabyte (MB) as 1,000,000 bytes, a gigabyte (GB) as 1,000,000,000 bytes and a terabyte (TB) as 1,000,000,000,000 bytes. A computer operating system, however, reports storage capacity using powers of 2 for the definition of 1GB = 230 = 1,073,741,824 bytes and therefore shows less storage capacity. Available storage capacity (including examples of various media files) will vary based on file size, formatting, settings, software and operating system, such as Microsoft Operating System and/or pre-installed software applications, or media content. Actual formatted capacity may vary.[3] The release schedule may vary by country and region.</em></span>

					Succeeding the iconic NF-A14 and NF-A15, the square-frame NF-A14x25 G2 and round-frame NF-A14x25r G2 have quickly established themselves as a new benchmark for premium quality quiet 140x25mm fans. Their advanced aerodynamic engineering featuring a novel Progressive Bend impeller design with a Centrifugal Turbulator hub, winglets, and a record tight tip clearance of only 0.7mm enables the G2 models to provide a significant boost in performance-to-noise efficiency over their renowned predecessors: Whether it’s in low-impedance, airflow-oriented applications such as case cooling, or high-impedance, pressure-demanding scenarios such as on heatsinks and water cooling radiators, where their etaPERF motor with SupraTorque allows leveraging extra torque headroom, the NF-A14x25 G2 fans are proven winners.  
				</p>

				<p style="border:0px solid; font-size:1rem; padding:0px">
					The chromax.black editions combine the NF-A14x25 G2s’ Sterrox liquid-crystal polymer impeller, comprehensive feature set and breakthrough quiet cooling proficiency with an attractive black design that can be customised with coloured anti-vibration pads, which are available separately.

					Continuing the legacy of the iconic NH-D15, the NH-D15 G2 has received more than 100 awards and recommendations from international hardware websites and magazines since its introduction in summer 2024. Utilising the same further refined 8-heatpipe heatsink and state-of-the-art NF-A14x25r G2 PWM fans, the chromax.black version offers the same winning combination of cutting-edge cooling efficiency and superb quietness of operation. At the same time, its black fans and black coated heatsink enable it to merge these assets with a sleek stealth look. Topped off with the Torx based SecuFirm2+ multi-socket mounting system, Noctua’s highest performing NT-H2 thermal compound and a full 6-year manufacturer’s warranty, the NH-D15 G2 chromax.black is a deluxe choice for everyone who seeks an elite-class heatsink that looks just as great as it cools.

<h3>

<p>
	The move to a modern compiler and native 64-bit binaries has also resulted in a significant shift: AIDA64 v8.00 will no longer support 32-bit Windows versions or Windows XP x64. While this decision was necessary to modernize the software and enable the new features, it marks a clear direction towards supporting the latest operating systems and hardware.
</p>

<h3>
	Pricing and Availability
</h3>

<p>
	The AIDA64 product family for Windows PCs consists of three business editions and a home edition. The company's flagship IT asset management offering with hardware diagnostic features is AIDA64 Business, while a dedicated network inventory solution called AIDA64 Network Audit is also available, for a lower license fee. Designed for corporate engineers and IT technicians, AIDA64 Engineer includes expert tools not available in AIDA64 Extreme, the home edition of the software. Today all four AIDA64 editions are updated to v8.00.

<p><img src="https://www.thelab.gr/uploads/monthly_2025_08/3DMARK-SOLAR-BAY-TEST.jpg.fac75074a8619f67a9864c1a2d595302.jpg" /></p>

<p>
	Since the original Solar Bay Benchmark launched on Android, iOS, and Windows, hundreds of thousands of gamers around the world have run it to see how their devices might handle the next generation of games developed for mobile devices and lightweight computers.
</p>

<p>
	However, gaming technology moves fast, and just over the horizon are always new processors with the capability to run even more realistic lighting in games at minimal battery drain.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	To be ready for these, we think now is the time to clock things up with an extreme version of Solar Bay. It significantly increases the existing raytracing workload with additional raytracing implementations such as ray-traced specular reflections for all surfaces and glass reflections and ray-traced soft shadows for directional light.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	This time is a little different from previous extreme benchmarks of ours - not only have we turned up the scene heaviness with new raytracing techniques, but we’ve expanded the scene with an additional assembly bay. where a rival team is competing to build their solar array faster.
