[1] Besides the reduced energy consumption, AMD PowerTune helps to lower the noise levels created by the cooling in desktop computers, and extends battery life in mobile devices.
[3] As a lecture from CCC in 2014 shows, AMD's x86-64 SMU firmware is executed on some LatticeMico32 and PowerTune was modeled using Matlab.
[6][7][8][9] An additional technology named AMD ZeroCore Power has been available since the Radeon HD 7000 series, implementing the Graphics Core Next microarchitecture.
The free and open-source "Radeon" graphics device driver has some support for AMD PowerTune, see "Enduro".
The following table shows features of AMD/ATI's GPUs (see also: List of AMD graphics processing units).
