Sony’s Stamina / Speed Modes
Sony is renaming something already known to most as nVidia Optimus Technology. From Sony’s documentation:
- Stamina Mode uses the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator for lower power consumption. It disables some hardware devices on your computer to conserve battery power.
- Speed Mode uses the NVIDIA Video Controller for improved and faster performance.
Within Linux nVidia uses prime-select intel or prime-select nvidia to switch modes.
