Arrr, me hearties! AMD's NPUs be gettin' some proper support in Windows Task Manager, but methinks Microsoft still has a fair bit o' work to do. They best be hoistin' the jolly roger and settin' sail on fixin' that issue posthaste, or we'll make 'em walk the plank! Aye!
Avast ye matey! Microsoft be preparin' fer th' rise o' hardware-accelerated local AI tools, aye, an' while th' first steps might seem borin', they be important nonetheless. Aye, I be talkin' about Task Manager – wait, don’t ye leave! I know, it’s hardly th' most glamorous topic out there, but this be an important development. AMD be workin' with Microsoft t' add support fer th' former’s latest neural processin' units (NPUs) in Windows, enablin' th' Microsoft Compute Driver Model (MCDM) fer th' AMD chips. This means Task Manager can monitor NPU resource usage like it does fer th' CPU an' GPU.Every major chipmaker be sailin' on th' AI bandwagon, includin' AMD, meanin' dedicated hardware in yer device fer powerin' AI workloads. 'Local' AI be faster, more secure, an' don’t require a constant internet connection, makin' NPUs th' new gold rush target. Soon, laptops, desktop PCs, phones, an' tablets be boastin' these chips as standard.Even just Task Manager integration be good an' important, matey! It be vital fer trackin' how efficiently yer computer be runnin', especially fer laptop users fine-tunin' power settings fer better battery life. AMD be agreein' on th' importance o' resource allocation tracking, benefitin' notebook users. Arr, we be near seein' all th' best laptops havin' their own NPUs, so Microsoft had t' act swiftly. Whether this update be exclusive t' Windows 11 or not be unclear, but Microsoft be keen on makin' all scallywags update t' th' latest version!
