List of NPU-optimized apps and games

[Nhonho]

Post here, please, the names and version of apps and games that are already optimized for processors that have NPU, that is, apps and games that are accelerated by the NPU that the latest processors have integrated.

-----------------------

Question: is it true that the NPU of newer processors is only accessed by Windows 11? Is the NPU not used by Windows 10, even if the app or game is already optimized for the NPU?

Windows 11 seems to be mandatory for DirectML according to: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dire...it-npu-support-in-directml-developer-preview/


MESA started NPU support on Vivante SoCs yesterday, which are used on Android/Linux devices, so there is no limitation to Windows in general
etnaviv: Allow collecing both GPU and NPU specs
etnaviv: Add a separate NPU pipe
