The patent-pending HyperGear technology from IDT monitors output load dynamically to adjust the CPU voltage in high frequency voltage regulators used in computing. It also adjusts peripheral bias voltage, and CPU clocking frequency based on the CPU usage demand. The company claims that it can improve efficiency by over 10% while simultaneously boosting CPU performance. It also says that the technology saves "significant" power and cooling costs in cloud-based datacentres and extends the battery life of portable applications. An algorithm in the company's power management ICs recognises when the CPU speed needs to increase. This can be when running data-intensive programs, such as games and videos, or during heavy internet traffic on cloud-based enterprise servers. In these situations, the CPU is automatically over-clocked to improve performance and concurrently shorten the duration for processing, without damage. During rest periods, the clock frequency is scaled down to improve efficiency. HyperGear uses a proprietary, two-wire, serial interface bus to link the company's CPU power management chips to the clock console. Using Voltage ID information and monitoring the output load, it will dynamically adjust the CPU's core voltage and clock frequency, without the need for additional external components.
