This highlights one of my pet peeves with the integrated versus discrete debate.<p>The reason why typical GPUS have high power consumption is because they are generally designed for the desktop market where they can.<p>But you can have low-power discrete GPUs also.<p>For that matter, there is no reason why you cannot have a low-power discrete GPU, and a high-power discrete GPU.<p>And again, it&#x27;s a whole lot easier to dissipate heat being produced in multiple places than all in one hotspot.
