  2. Dynamic frequency scaling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_frequency_scaling

    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 ...

  3. Steam Link - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_Link

    Steam Link is a hardware and software product developed by Valve Corporation for streaming Steam content from a personal computer or Steam Machine wirelessly to a mobile device or other monitor. Steam Link was originally released as a hardware device alongside the debut of Steam Machines in November 2015. [ 3 ]

  4. Steamroller (microarchitecture) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steamroller_(micro...

    Steamroller still features two-core modules found in Bulldozer and Piledriver designs called clustered multi-thread (CMT), meaning that one module is marketed as a dual-core processor. [3] The focus of Steamroller is for greater parallelism. [ 4 ]

  5. SteamOS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SteamOS

    SteamOS is a Linux distribution developed by Valve.It incorporates Valve's popular namesake Steam video game storefront and is the primary operating system for the Steam Deck, Valve's portable gaming device, as well as Valve's earlier Steam Machines.

  6. Steam Deck - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_Deck

    The original Steam Deck was launched in February 2022 and included a custom AMD APU based on their Zen 2 and RDNA 2 architectures, named Aerith, after the Final Fantasy VII character Aerith Gainsborough. [16] The CPU runs a four-core/eight-thread unit and the GPU runs on eight compute units with a total estimated performance of 1.6 TFLOPS. Both ...

  7. SpeedStep - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpeedStep

    Running a processor at high clock speeds allows for better performance. However, when the same processor is run at a lower frequency (speed), it generates less heat and consumes less power. In many cases, the core voltage can also be reduced, further reducing power consumption and heat generation. By using SpeedStep, users can select the ...

  8. Idle (CPU) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idle_(CPU)

    Idle is a state that a computer processor is in when it is not being used by any program. Every program or task that runs on a computer system occupies a certain amount of processing time on the CPU. If the CPU has completed all tasks it is idle. Modern processors use idle time to save power.

  9. Computer performance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_performance

    A CPU designer is often required to implement a particular instruction set, and so cannot change N. Sometimes a designer focuses on improving performance by making significant improvements in f (with techniques such as deeper pipelines and faster caches), while (hopefully) not sacrificing too much C—leading to a speed-demon CPU design.
