Intel improves GPU power management

Fine-grained voltage and frequency controls As always, Intel presented papers at the world famous and prestigious IEEE International Solid State Circuits Conference — ISSCC. One Intel paper was particularly interesting to us. It was titled, An Energy-Efficient Graphics Processor Featuring Fine-Grain DVFS with Integrated Voltage Regulators, Execution-Unit Turbo, and Retentive Sleep in 14nm Tri-Gate CMOS Bet you can’t say that three times fast. And, it was delivered by a team from Folsom and Hillsboro: P. Meinerzhagen1, C. Tokunaga1, A. Malavasi1, V. Vaidya1, A. Mendon1, D. Mathaikutty1,, J. Kulkarni1, C. Augustine1, M. Cho1, S. Kim1, G.
