  2. GPU switching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPU_switching

    The dedicated graphics cards consume much more power than integrated graphics but also provides higher 3D performances, which is needed for a better gaming and CAD experience. Following is a list of the TDPs of the most popular CPU with integrated graphics and dedicated graphics cards.

  3. 16-pin 12VHPWR connector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/16-Pin_12vHPWR_connector

    The 16-pin 12VHPWR connector is a standard for connecting graphics processing units (GPUs) to computer power supplies for up to 600 W power delivery. It was introduced in 2022 to supersede the previous 6- and 8-pin power connectors for GPUs. The primary aim was to cater to the increasing power requirements of high-performance GPUs.

  4. Overclocking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overclocking

    The purpose of overclocking is to increase the operating speed of a given component. [3] Normally, on modern systems, the target of overclocking is increasing the performance of a major chip or subsystem, such as the main processor or graphics controller, but other components, such as system memory or system buses (generally on the motherboard), are commonly involved.

  5. Graphics processing unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphics_processing_unit

    Graphics processing units (GPU) have continued to increase in energy usage, while CPUs designers have recently [when?] focused on improving performance per watt. High performance GPUs may draw large amount of power, therefore intelligent techniques are required to manage GPU power consumption.

  6. Performance per watt - Wikipedia

    Graphics processing units (GPU) have continued to increase in energy usage, while CPUs designers have recently [when?] focused on improving performance per watt. High performance GPUs may draw large amount of power, therefore intelligent techniques are required to manage GPU power consumption.

  7. Underclocking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underclocking

    Underclocking, also known as downclocking, is modifying a computer or electronic circuit's timing settings to run at a lower clock rate than is specified. Underclocking is used to reduce a computer's power consumption, increase battery life, reduce heat emission, and it may also increase the system's stability, lifespan/reliability and compatibility.

  8. Dynamic voltage scaling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_voltage_scaling

    Dynamic voltage scaling to increase voltage is known as overvolting; dynamic voltage scaling to decrease voltage is known as undervolting. Undervolting is done in order to conserve power, particularly in laptops and other mobile devices, where energy comes from a battery and thus is

  9. Hardware acceleration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware_acceleration

    A cryptographic accelerator card allows cryptographic operations to be performed at a faster rate.. Hardware acceleration is the use of computer hardware designed to perform specific functions more efficiently when compared to software running on a general-purpose central processing unit (CPU).
