The power management will be via software as well as hardware. ARM 7 processor is also loaded on board. The A9 processor being a power consuming will only be required when the high processor cycle requiring rendering application are called. Else where the ARM 7 will be utilised to save the power. ARM 7 will communicate with the Audio and video processor on board.

The GeForce Graphics processor in the architecture can render games such as Quake 3 at 60 FPS for 1024 x 600 resolution. GPU in Tegra processor has a dedicated processor to handle the video workload and thus CPU is not utilised in the task.
