Abstract:
1. A computer system capable of adjusting the operating frequency dynamically, adjusting dynamically an operating frequency of at least one of a plurality of processors therein, the processors including a CPU and a GPU, and comprising: at least a processor voltage-adjusting unit, producing a processor operating voltage, and transmitting said processor operating voltage to said processor; a clock-generating circuit, producing a clock signal, and transmitting said clock signal to said processor for determining said operating frequency of said processor; at least a load-detecting unit, detecting an operating status of said processor, and producing a detecting signal related to a load of said processor; and a control unit, producing a clock-adjusting signal and a processor voltage-adjusting signal according to said detecting signal and a power threshold value for adjusting said operating frequency of said processor and said processor operating voltage, the power threshold value being lower than a maximum supplied power from a power supply; where said processor voltage-adjusting unit adjusts said processor operating voltage according to said processor voltage-adjusting signal and said clock-generating circuit adjusts a frequency of said clock signal for dynamically adjusting the CPU or the GPU according to said clock-adjusting signal for adjusting said operating frequency of said processor, the adjusting of the CPU correlated to the adjusting of the GPU.
