don't we have integrated and discrete graphics on laptops? we could use integrated for efficiency and discrete for performance, and there are solutions being developed for dynamically allocating and balancing the power requirements of the CPU and the GPU depending on the software and load
Also GPUs consist of lots of tiny cores instead of a few larger and more powerful cores like we find in CPUs
i dont rlly see a point to that, just adding more cores and labeling them efficency will not work, modern gpus are already quite something if u think how small the amount is they draw in idle, except arc i guess
theyre basically all e cores already
I agree, you are right
how would u make gpu cores more effifient than they are right now? if there was a way to do that they would also just do it for all the cores not just a few
could only think of the cores clock at a lower speed as most of them at max speed are not at their most efficient state (arc was at around 1600mhz i think after which increase is relatively smaller) and then adding more cores but that would just make the whole thing more expensive
just remembered this, but dont new laptops often have a mux switch to do that?
might be worth to get that when buying a new laptop
I don't understand how this makes sense
already you need powerful GPUs for high performance tasks so it doesn't make sense for using discrete graphics all the time, and also they are power efficient enough for most if not all media codecs that they won't consume all the power. all GPUs use lots of tiny cores, and if u want efficiency then it's better to switch to using the integrated graphics
mux switches just change the display output of the internal display from the integrated or discrete GPU, it helps decrease latency and increase performance on gaming systems,
also mux switches are not available on all laptops
cheaper ones will typically ignore it
yea i meant for power saving its helpful
since im assuming thats what he wants with this thread
