Memtest86+ version 6.00 brings support for Intel 13th Gen and AMD Ryzen 7000 CPUs

Due to its ability to be booted as an operating system, Memtest86+ has become one of the most recommended tools to check memory stability. Despite its status, the last non-beta version was released nine years ago. That has now changed, as the developer launched a new update introducing support for new processors such as the Intel 13th Gen Core and AMD Ryzen 7000 chips.

Developed by Martin Whitaker, Memtest86+ v6.00 is based on the Memtest86+ major release (v5). The new version supports x64, UEFI, up to 256 cores, and virtually any memory, from SDRAM to DDR5. That means it supports the latest CPU architectures, including the Intel 13th Gen Core and AMD Zen 4 chips, namely the Ryzen 7000 series.

Since the last non-beta version (in 2013!), it has been rewritten from scratch and is back to active development. Memtest86+ is still 100% open-source and 100% free. Please give it a try at https://t.co/MipBsftGBU. ? pic.twitter.com/oudTI4p3KZ
