- Browse... > Select the extracted drivers folder (NPU_AMD_v...) > Next

OS requirements : Windows 11 or more recent.

If you want to manage the drivers (remove old/unused drivers for example) that you have in your Windows DriverStore

I have a Ryzen 9800x3D and don't see the AMD IPU or NPU device listed in Device Manager: System Devices.  Latest AMD Chipset driver is installed.

I am asking same question as Jedimstr.  Is the NPU geared more for laptop versions?  All I can find on interweb says 9800x3d doesnt support npu?

At the moment, NPU is for Ryzen devices with stupid names, like the mobile "Ryzen AI 300".

Sadly, NPU will at some point be added to desktop CPUs as well, wasting important die space:/ Maybe with Zen 6.

Hi everyone,

There was a mistake in the thread title and in the Hardware requirements, this thread is only for AMD Ryzen 8xxx series APU with NPU.
