Intel Processor Diagnostic Tool for Windows 10
Intel Processor Diagnostic Tool is a free program developed by Intel Corporation. As the name suggests, it can test only processors developed by Intel and cannot test other processors.
With Intel Processor Diagnostic Tool, you can check if your PC’s Intel processor is functioning properly. The software is easy-to-use and can be used by novice users as well.
Intel Processor Diagnostic Tool carries a series of tests including genuine Intel, brandstring, cache, MMXSSE, IMC, prime number, floating point, match, GPUStressW, CPU load, CPU frequency, PCH, and SPBC, and shows results for each test.
Intel Processor Diagnostic Tool runs temperature monitor in parallel to tests mentioned above to check if the processor is overheating. The tool also shows the minimum and maximum temperature recorded during these tests.
To know the purpose of each test, click the Config tab and then click on one of the tests to see the details.
CPU load test is one of the important tests conducted by this software. The CPULoad utility tests the processor if the processor can withstand 100 percent load.
Under CPU Features tab, you can find all the supported features by your Intel processor.
With default settings, Intel Processor Diagnostic Tool runs a full functional test which takes about four minutes. But if you want to run the test for a longer duration, you can select the “burn-in” test by navigating to Tools > Config > Presets > Burn In Test. Note that the “burn in” test only tests your processor for a longer duration and doesn’t test additional features.
If you own an Intel processor PC, it’s worth trying out Intel Processor Diagnostic Tool once to make sure that your Intel processor is functioning properly.
