  2. GPU switching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPU_switching

    Also known as: discrete graphics cards. Unlike integrated graphics, dedicated graphics cards have much more processing units and have its own RAM with much higher memory bandwidth. In some cases, a dedicated graphics chip can be integrated onto the motherboards, B150-GP104 for example. Regardless of the fact that the graphics chip is integrated ...

  3. Graphics processing unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphics_processing_unit

    Integrated graphics processing units (IGPU), integrated graphics, shared graphics solutions, integrated graphics processors (IGP), or unified memory architectures (UMA) use a portion of a computer's system RAM rather than dedicated graphics memory. IGPs can be integrated onto a motherboard as part of its northbridge chipset, [81] or on the same ...

    Unified memory A memory architecture where the CPU and GPU share the same address space, and often the same physical memory. It is common in Intel [34] [35] and AMD [36] [37] processors with integrated graphics, SoCs and video game consoles. Supported on some discrete GPUs with the use of an MMU. UV coordinates

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shared_graphics_memory

    Graphics display was facilitated by the use of an expansion card with its own memory plugged into an ISA slot. The first IBM PC to use the SMA was the IBM PCjr, released in 1984. Video memory was shared with the first 128 KiB of RAM. The exact size of the video memory could be reconfigured by software to meet the needs of the current program.

    A new Intel blog post on the matter says the company won't bring a discrete graphics chip to market, and will instead focus on integrated graphics for everyday computing and highly-parallel ...

  9. Graphics hardware - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphics_hardware

    There are two types of graphics cards: [1] integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphics card, usually by Intel to use in their computers, is bound to the motherboard and shares RAM (Random Access Memory) with the CPU, reducing the total amount of RAM available. This is undesirable for running programs and applications that use a large ...
