ATI™ Switchable Graphics Technology1
Maximum Performance, Long Battery Life, Seamless Experience.
The latest trend in mobile power management is delivered by AMD’s energy-efficient
technology, ATI™ Switchable Graphics. Imagine combining the low power
advantages of an integrated graphics processor with the performance of a discrete
graphics processor. With ATI Switchable Graphics you can now have the best
of both worlds with maximum performance when you need it and long battery life
when on-the-go.
This innovative feature is a mobile graphics switching process optimizing
your system for either high-powered graphics processing or low power consumption.
It is designed to dynamically switch the graphics operation between Intel® integrated
graphics and ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 3400 series or ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 3600 series discrete graphics (depending
on the power source and user preferences) without rebooting the notebook. This
allows the discrete card to be used for graphics intensive applications when
running under AC power (plugged in to power socket) and the integrated graphics to
be used when running in battery mode, extending battery life when on-the-go and without
compromising The Ultimate Visual Experience™.
Industry Leading Cooperative Graphics Solution
AMD is dedicated to driving open innovation on all platforms and has collaborated
to co-develop ATI Switchable Graphics for Intel based platforms. It is the
only revolutionary solution available that supports the Intel® Centrino® 2 notebook platform, offering true power savings or full GPU performance. This enables
dynamic switching between Intel® integrated graphics and ATI Mobility
Radeon™ HD Premium graphics delivering an exclusive notebook technology
that no one can resist.
