AMD PowerNow! is AMD's dynamic frequency scaling and power saving technology for laptop processors. The CPU 's clock speed and VCore are automatically decreased when the computer is under low load or idle, to save battery power, reduce heat and noise .
AMD PowerTune is a series of dynamic frequency scaling technologies built into some AMD GPUs and APUs that allow the clock speed of the processor to be dynamically changed (to different P-states) by software. This allows the processor to meet the instantaneous performance needs of the operation being performed, while minimizing power draw, heat ...
ACPI 1.0 (1996) defines a way for a CPU to go to idle "C states", but defines no frequency-scaling system. ACPI 2.0 (2000) introduces a system of P states (power-performance states) that a processor can use to communicate its possible frequency–power settings to the OS. The operating system then sets the speed as needed by switching between ...
AMD Turbo Core a.k.a. AMD Core Performance Boost (CPB) is a dynamic frequency scaling technology implemented by AMD that allows the processor to dynamically adjust and control the processor operating frequency in certain versions of its processors which allows for increased performance when needed while maintaining lower power and thermal parameters during normal operation.

CodeAnalyst by AMD: Linux, Windows C, C++, Objective C .NET, Java (works at the executable level) AMD uProf supersedes CodeAnalyst and CodeXL for CPU and Power profiling on AMD processors. GUI based code profiler; does only basic timer-based profiling on Intel processors. Based on OProfile. Free/open source (GPL) or proprietary AMD CodeXL by AMD
[5] [6] This is surpassed by the CPU-Z overclocking record for the highest CPU clock rate at 8.79433 GHz with an AMD FX-8350 Piledriver-based chip bathed in LN2, achieved in November 2012. [ 7 ] [ 8 ] It is also surpassed by the slightly slower AMD FX-8370 overclocked to 8.72 GHz which tops off the HWBOT frequency rankings.
Radeon Software 17.7.1 is the final driver for Windows 8.1. Radeon Software 18.9.3 is the final driver for 32-bit Windows 7/10. AMD Software 22.6.1 is the final driver for Windows 7 (and Windows 8.1 unofficially); 22.6.1 is also the final driver for GCN 1, GCN 2 and GCN 3 based GPUs [42]
The Linux kernel has a subsystem called "cpufreq", tunable by power-scheme and command line, devoted to the control of the operating frequency and voltage of a CPU. Linux runs on Intel, AMD, and other makes of CPU. [13] [14] Newer version Windows 10 and Linux kernel support Intel Speed Shift Technology. In contrast, AMD has supplied and ...
