SmartShift Max

Pure Performance

AMD SmartShift Max1 dynamically shifts power between AMD Ryzen™ processors and AMD Radeon™ graphics in your laptop to help improve gaming, video editing, 3D rendering, content creation and productivity. Gamers can get a graphics performance boost when gaming, while Content Creators can get extra horsepower needed to finish their tasks quickly.

SmartShift Eco

Longer gameplay unplugged

AMD SmartShift Eco lets you play longer unplugged — from 55 minutes to nearly three hours4 of gameplay! When on the go, games use the AMD Ryzen™ processors’ integrated graphics. When plugged in, the laptop automatically shifts to AMD Radeon™ graphics for full-performance gaming.
