Welcome to the HP Support Community.
AMD SmartShift is a new technology that is being introduced with the new AMD Ryzen 4000 Mobile processor family.
How Does AMD SmartShift Work?
In a typical laptop, the CPU and GPU each have their own pre-defined power budget.
The CPU and GPU will individually adjust their power consumption according to the load, using less power for a longer battery life, but never exceeding their power budget even when there is a need for more performance.
AMD SmartShift changes that by simply doing away with the pre-defined power budget, and using a shared power budget instead.
I hope this answers your question. Let me know if you need any further assistance.
If the information I've provided was helpful, give us some reinforcement by clicking the Accepted Solution button, that'll help us and others see that we've got the answers!
Thanks!
Have a great day!
