AMD's Beema, Mullins chips use software, sensor smarts to cut power, not performance |
April 29, 2014
Do you really need to run your mobile apps at the fastest possible speed? AMD’s new “Beema” and “Mullins” chips don’t think so and have cut power by up to 20 percent from its previous generation while improving performance.Yes, processor generations typically offer more performance and lower power as a result of silicon optimizations. But AMD designers have taken a new tack: the new chips are performing real-time analysis on the types of apps you’re using and providing just enough clock speed to keep them running at optimal rates. If need be, AMD will even offer hardware partners the ability to mount sensors in their tablets to overclock the chips for a short time without burning the user’s skin. And AMD plans to bundle apps like the BlueStacks Android emulator as a value-added benefit.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here
