What do you think about pulling this one change out. It's sitting in the section for what's new in VS 16.8
I won't create a new section for VS 2022 until VS 2022 goes out (otherwise it looks like VS 2022 is released).

sure, but we need to remember to add the note to the release notes. It's important people know about the change when upgrading.

These aren't the release notes. This should be noted in the release notes, but not here (yet).

# C++ AMP Overview

> [!NOTE]
> C++ AMP headers are deprecated, starting with Visual Studio 2022 version 17.0.
> Including any AMP headers will generate build errors. To Silence the errors, define "_SILENCE_AMP_DEPRECATION_WARNINGS" before including the headers.

C++ Accelerated Massive Parallelism (C++ AMP) accelerates execution of C++ code by taking advantage of data-parallel hardware such as a graphics processing unit (GPU) on a discrete graphics card. By using C++ AMP, you can code multi-dimensional data algorithms so that execution can be accelerated by using parallelism on heterogeneous hardware. The C++ AMP programming model includes multidimensional arrays, indexing, memory transfer, tiling, and a mathematical function library. You can use C++ AMP language extensions to control how data is moved from the CPU to the GPU and back, so that you can improve performance.
