No they aren't.
| alexxonne said: 2. You mean, the chip/firmware/bios does this automatically? I though you were messing with the settings or at a bios level. I don't know if such settings are available in your setup but a looong time ago I liked to hack Vbios(video card bios) and motherboard bios when the settings I wanted to change weren't available. Overcloking wasn't that much rewarding back then if you ended frying your mobo, tolerance wasn't that great, specially with the capacitor plague in the early 2000's. But essentially you're still playing with the headroom available that the TDP allows you to. If that's the case, yes your PS5 analogy is perfect. |
The chip does it automatically. - You can play with Windows Power States and limit CPU load.
No bios/firmware settings or overclocking required.
| alexxonne said: 3. Any electronics device requires capacitors to regulate voltage (capacitance=uF). They work by limiting voltage capacitance or storing it just like a battery. Usually these are embedded in the motherboard, or video card board. When people overclock and damage their boards these are the one that are blown out. |
I am aware.
However the framing of your statements makes me question your fundamental understanding of consumer electronics, especially as you are framing the context around capacitors which aren't the issue in this regard... And anyone with a basic fundamental understanding of TDP and overclocking knows this.
Blown Caps just doesn't happen anymore... Maybe in the era of cheap-shit chinese, liquid caps, but not today with quality solid Japanese caps... Making your statements entirely redundant.

I do not know much about AMD APUS, but if i'm not mistaken some of them(Mini PC boxes) have a small dedicated memory pool while most others share the main system memory and use it as video memory. But either way, what I meant is that the memory used for it will get fucked up at those rates(1820mh). It will need heat-sinks or faster fan configuration, and for a portable device either it will be expensive or not practical(possible). |
Clearly.
No. They generally do not include a small dedicated memory pool... This is integrated graphics with the CPU on-die and not a separate chip or card.
Some older AMD integrated graphics used to include a small amount of RAM on the motherboard known as "side port". - Which was usually just a small memory pool which could be dedicated to graphics tasks.
I actually had the Asrock A785GXH at one point which included 128MB of DRAM for the integrated graphics on the motherboard. - But that is still your regular, plain-jane DDR3 commodity ram on a 64-bit interface, not special-sauce GDDR.
And yes... I overclocked that integrated Radeon 4200 graphics chip to 1ghz which ran reliably for years. No issue.
But that also doesn't employ the sharing of TDP between the CPU or GPU.
