How AMD Enables GPU Overclocking Since 2010 (Brief History of AMD GPU Frequency Boost Tech) | SB#41

Описание: Over the past couple of months, I’ve done quite a few videos where I have a closer look at the semiconductor frequency boosting technologies. Typically there’s a clear timeline for the technology evolution as many iterations follow a clear starting point.

That’s not quite the case with AMD. Our story can start in 2015, when AMD introduced the Adaptive Voltage Frequency Scaling, or in 2001 when ATI introduced the PowerPlay technology.

While I would love to do a deep dive into the PowerPlay technology starting from its inception in 2001, I will save that for a future SkatterBencher video. Instead, let’s kick off our journey in 2010 when AMD launched its first AMD-branded graphics card.
