"BACKGROUND OF INVENTION
[0003] Many computing devices utilize high-performance graphics processors to present high quality graphics. High performance graphics processors consume a great deal of power (electricity), and subsequently generate a great deal of heat. In portable computing devices, the designers of such devices must trade off market demands for graphics performance with the power consumption capabilities of the device (performance vs. battery life). Some laptop computers are beginning to solve this problem by introducing two GPUs in one laptop--one a low-performance, low-power consumption GPU and the other a high-performance, high-power consumption GPU--and letting the user decide which GPU to use.
