Last week during the [1]Intel Tech Tour in Arizona , the Intel XPU Manager 1.3.3 software was released. Intel XPU Manager is a management and monitoring tool focused on Intel data center GPUs for simplifying administration, reliability, and maximizing utilization. Somewhat surprisingly, the Intel XPU Manager now deprecated the Data Center GPU Max Series as well as the Data Center GPU Flex Series.

The Intel XPU Manager provides a command-line interface and various APIs to assist in GPU discovery and associated information reporting. It also supports GPU firmware updating, GPU topology / grouping, various telmetry and health capabilities, and configuring various GPU policies and settings. Via API integration with Grafana and other software, it can make for some pretty powerful reporting and management capabilities:

With last week's XPU Manager 1.3.3 release, the Intel Data Center GPU Flex Series and Data Center GPU Max Series is now considered deprecated. Those relying on these Intel Data Center GPUs are recommended to move to the older XPU Manager 1.2 release series.

This now leaves the Intel Arc Pro B60 as the only officially supported graphics processor by the XPU Manager. The [2]Intel Arc Pro B50 presumably should work as well albeit less powerful GPU for the data center and isn't officially mentioned as part of being supported.

Besides now listing the Data Center GPU Max and Data Center GPU Flex series as deprecated, the Intel XPU Manager 1.3.3 release adds support for SR-IOV vGPU commands, power limit monitoring support on Windows, PCIe Gen4 downgrade options, and other improvements.

Intel XPU Manager 1.3.3 can be downloaded from [3]GitHub .
