About this tag
The npu metrics tag covers Windows Task Manager's new per-process NPU and GPU AI metrics, as detailed in Microsoft's August 19 Windows IT Pro Blog post. These metrics provide administrators and developers with built-in visibility into whether local AI workloads are using dedicated neural processing units or falling back to general-purpose CPU and GPU resources. The feature appears in Processes, Details, and Performance views on supported newer devices, helping to expose cases where AI-enabled apps claim hardware acceleration but actually run inference on standard components. This tag is relevant for IT professionals and developers monitoring AI performance and resource allocation on Windows systems.
