AMD Task Manager Update to Show XDNA Neural Chip Usage
- AMD confirming that Windows Task Manager will soon show monitoring of its XDNA Neural Processing Units (NPUs)
- This will be enabled via Microsoft's Compute Driver Model to allow managing and monitoring the NPU
- Task Manager will show NPU utilization and memory usage, similar to Intel's implementation
- AMD believes NPU monitoring will aid software development and device optimization
- This comes as AMD rolls out its 2nd gen XDNA2 NPUs, which are 3x faster than the initial XDNA NPUs that debuted last year
