Getting high CPU usage

[Attroll]

I am having trouble with photoshop using too much CPU when editing a photo and it is really slowing my workflow down.

I am running Adobe Photoshop Version: 25.1.0.

I am running an i9 2.5GHZ 12 Cores.
I have a scratch disk setup on one M.2 drive that has 350 GB of free space.
When I am editing with Neural Filters my CPU usage sometimes goes up to 92% and there is no GPU usage being used. It is using ½ of the 32GB of memory.

How can I get this to work better?
Shouldn’t Photoshop be using some of my GPU also?
I have attached a screenshot.
Any help would be appreciated.

Some things run mainly in the CPU, some things in the GPU. It all depends.

92% CPU and half of RAM is all perfectly normal. Run "better" how? The neural filters do very complex work and most of them are rather slow.

If I understand you correctly. Getting a new CPU or more RAM is not going to make a bit of a difference?
