AMD executives promise to fix the problem of excessive idle power of graphics cards through driver updates in the future.

CTOnews.com September 2 news, AMD senior vice president and general manager of graphics business Scott Herkelman recently told club386 media that consumers are more sensitive to graphics card power consumption on laptops and relatively low attention on desktops.

The part of Herkelman translated by CTOnews.com is as follows:

AMD initially took the initiative to improve the performance per watt of its products, and we will critically review the specific performance in each chart before launching the chip.

These parameters are important for laptops and desktops, but not for everyone. Although there are many users who really care about power consumption, there are also many people who don't care. But overall, our trend is to develop processors with higher performance per watt.

Power consumption is definitely the primary consideration. In the foreseeable future, with the maturity of our technology, the improvement of design and the upgrade of process, we will do better and better in terms of power consumption.

There is no denying that we still have a lot of areas to improve, one of which is the power consumption of idle state, which can be repaired later by driving updates.

However, in the actual process of advancing, we have encountered inconsistent performance in the idle state, and we are working with our partners to solve these problems. These problems are relatively tricky, but I believe that as long as you give us some time, we can fix it.
