Intel Graphics Dynamic Frequency
Graphics render frequency are selected by the Intel graphics driver dynamically based
on graphics workload demand as permitted by Intel Turbo Boost Technology Driver. The
processor core die and the integrated graphics and memory controller core die have an
individual TDP limit. If one component is not consuming enough thermal power to
reach its TDP, the other component can increase its TDP limit and take advantage of the
unused thermal power headroom. For the integrated graphics, this could mean an
increase in the render core frequency (above its rated frequency) and increased
graphics performance.
Note:
Please note that processor Turbo is not supported on Pentium processor skus.
Processor Utilization of Intel Graphics Dynamic Frequency require the following
•
Graphics driver
•
Intel Turbo Boost Technology Driver
Enabling Intel Turbo Boost Technology and Intel Graphics Dynamic Frequency will
maximize the performance of the GPU within its specified power levels. Compared with
previous generation products, Intel Turbo Boost Technology and Intel Graphics
Dynamic Frequency will increase the ratio of application power to TDP. Thus, thermal
solutions and platform cooling that are designed to less than thermal design guidance
might experience thermal and performance issues since more applications will tend to
run at the maximum power limit for significant periods of time. For more details, refer
