Microsoft tinkers with Windows for AMD AI
 

Preparing Task Manager for the AI onslaught

Software King of the World, Microsoft seems to be gearing up for the inevitable rise of hardware-accelerated local AI tools and is tinkering with Windows software to play nice with AMD’s AI chips.

AMD has thrown its hat into the ring, announcing its collaboration with Vole to integrate support for its latest neural processing units (NPUs) into Windows. Specifically, this involves enabling the Microsoft Compute Driver Model (MCDM) for AMD chips, allowing Task Manager to keep tabs on NPU resource usage just like it does for the CPU, GPU, and other components.
