Ryzen CPU and
Radeon RX series GPU. Sounds familiar?🙄 Well, AMD recently released their brand
new technology called SmartShift. You see, different tasks need different
computing resources. Programs such as code compiling, certain audio/video
encoding utilizes more CPU power where games, video editing software etc depend
more on GPU. In a traditional system, the power management to these will be as
per the pre-determined power numbers. What AMD is offering here is a solution
for just that.
As the name suggests,
SmartShift actively shifts the power to CPU and GPU depending on the work
you do. The only thing is since this technology is exclusively available only
for Ryzen CPU+RX series GPU powered laptops. In the announcement of SmartShift,
AMD demonstrated some benchmarks where they found 10% increase in FPS in case
of Division 2 and 12% increase for Cinebench r20. Considering this technology
is basically free, users are getting some significant extra performance from
their system for the exact same hardware.
Although this technology is still in
the development stage, AMD has introduced SmartShift in their latest driver
releases. Accoding to reports, both AMD Ryzen 4000 mobile processors and RX
series graphics cards are more power efficient than their competitors. Since
AMD 4000 series are made from 7nm technology with their ulta-responsive Zen 2
cores, expect a portable PC with some tremendous computing power. So if you are
planning to get a notebook within a few months, be sure to get the one with AMD
hardware in it to enjoy technologies like SmartShift 😎. Learn more about SmartShift here:
