System and method of configuring power consumption of a processor and a graphics processing unit

A method, comprising:

• determining a first temperature value associated with an information handling system;
• determining a first number of frames per second (FPS) produced by a graphics processing unit (GPU) of the information handling system;
• determining a first amount of power consumed by a processor of the information handling system;
• configuring power consumed by the processor to a third amount of power, lower than the first amount of power;
• permitting a first amount of time to transpire;
• determining a second temperature value associated with the information handling system;
• determining a second number of FPS produced by the GPU;
• determining a first performance value based at least on a first change of FPS and a first change of temperature;
• permitting a second amount of time to transpire;
• determining a third temperature value associated with the information handling system;
• determining a third number of FPS produced by the GPU;
• determining a second performance value based at least on a second change of FPS and a second change of temperature;
• determining that the second performance value is greater than the first performance value;
• configuring power consumed by the processor to the third amount of power;
• and
• configuring power consumed by the GPU to the second amount of power.

A computer-readable non-transitory memory medium that includes instructions that, when executed by a processor of an information handling system, cause the information handling system to:

• determine a first temperature value associated with the information handling system;
• determine a first number of frames per second (FPS) produced by a graphics processing unit (GPU) of the information handling system;
• determine a first amount of power consumed by the processor;
• configure power consumed by the processor to a third amount of power, lower than the first amount of power;
• permit a first amount of time to transpire;
• determine a second temperature value associated with the information handling system;
• determine a second number of FPS produced by the GPU;
• determine a first performance value based at least on a first change of FPS and a first change of temperature;
• permit a second amount of time to transpire;
• determine a third temperature value associated with the information handling system;
• determine a third number of FPS produced by the GPU;
• determine a second performance value based at least on a second change of FPS and a second change of temperature;
• determine that the second performance value is greater than the first performance value;
• configure power consumed by the processor to the third amount of power;
• and
• configure power consumed by the GPU to the second amount of power.
