likely is leakage across the channel. ATI boasts that back bias can increase battery life by 10-15%. Techniques like dynamic clock scaling and clock gating decrease power consumption when there is low workload. The first technique automatically and dynamically...

A)). When running on battery power, the fan usually remains silent while typing. When the CPU and graphics subsystem are subjected to a heavy workload - due to a computing - and graphics-intensive rendering application, the noise level rises dynamically, up...

at extending battery life. Selecting "Maximum Power Savings" causes the GPU core and video memory to run at minimum clock speeds. As a result, frame rates will of course be pretty low. "Balanced" aims to distribute workload between CPU and GPU in a most...

The answer is when the CPU currently has or very little to do. This is the case 80% of the time when playing WMA files. With typical PDA tasks such as offline e-mail reading, a very light CPU workload is about 100% of the time. As this energy-saving technology...

with Dynamic Cache Allocation, the number of cache misses when compared to a split-cache design should be noticeably lower, in keeping with the motto, "Cache as much as you can." In this context, Dynamic Cache Allocation means that each of the two cores always...

reduce the CPU workload for MPEG. This relationship is shown in the figure. Thanks to the Zoran chip, Matrox's proprietary, but space-intensive MJPEG format yields a lower CPU workload. By changing to the MPEG 2 format (DVD standard), the G400 is pushed to...
