Does labview have compatibility issues with 12th generation Intel processors？

[OldSnowMan]

The version I am using now is Labview2018. I want to upgrade my computer to a 12th Gen INTEL processor, but I'm not sure if my Labview software will work well on Intel's new E-Core and P-Core designs? Because I need powerful CPU parallel computing power.
Please give me some guidance if you have experience with this.
sincere thanks.

LabVIEW by itself should not have any issue running on those processors

My benchmark collection recently got some 12th generation Intel processors added. They perform quite well on my highly parallel LabVIEW code (LabVIEW 2020).

There has been a recent report of someone with LabVIEW 2018 saying that the use of the LabVIEW Advanced Analysis library produces an error message on his 11th generation Intel CPU system.

The weird thing is that that error message only occurred on AMD Ryzen CPUs until now and I have not seen any other reports of this happening on any Intel CPUs no matter what generation. The possible debugging efforts are limited without having the system available to really test a few things. Possible reason are manifold and can increase dramatically depending on the willingness to also include conspiracy theories. 😀

Thank you very much for your reply, your benchmark collection is very helpful.

The only remaining problem for me is that the latest intel CPUs require win11 for good performance, and win11 needs to work with the latest labview version...
This requires extensive software and hardware upgrades. sad😂😂

In principle, yes. However, a few of our customers upgraded their OS to Win11, but our application written in LabVIEW 2017 with NI-DAQmx is still working well.

That sounds at least weird if not outright misleading. While there might be some features on a 12th generation Intel CPU that only W11 will really use, they certainly won’t perform badly with other Windows systems even ones that  may be discontinued. Intel can’t risk that.

This sounds more like half true marketing hype to make more people join the upgrade avalanche!

Sure there might be a new HyperDuper feature on those CPUs that only Windows 11 will use but that does not mean that the CPU will perform worse than earlier types when used with older versions of Windows. It may just not tesselate as many triangles per second as it can on W11 or not use an even more restrictive security scheme for memory protection that only NSA controlled systems really care about. 😀
