The technology is nascent, and according to a tweet from AMD’s Frank Azor, only Dell G5 15SE will use it in 2020. They do not have any plans to release any more laptops equipped with SmartShift this year. However, we should expect to see more of these laptops next year. Dell G5 15SE is a powerful gaming machine as it can go up to the 8-core Ryzen 7 4800H processor and RDNA based Radeon 5600M graphics processor. It is the only AMD laptop that can dynamically alter the power to the CPU or GPU based on loads.
— Frank Azor (@AzorFrank) June 4, 2020 Nvidia announced its dynamic boost technology called Advanced Optimus in response to SmartShift. The technology is limited by the Nvidia Max-Q GPU and a display certified by Nvidia, unlike the SmartShift, which requires AMD CPU and GPU only. The display bound requirement makes Advanced Optimus more expensive. It is also very new and only available in two Lenovo laptops.
