[ GLOSSARY DEFINITION ]
Performance
TGP
The power budget a laptop GPU can draw; higher TGP usually means more sustained gaming performance.
Also known as:
Total Graphics Power
Graphics Power
Full Definition & Technical Explanation
TGP (Total Graphics Power) is how much power a GPU may consume, typically shown on laptop GPUs (e.g., TGP: 15 W). Two identical GPU models with different TGP run at different speeds.
Higher TGP needs better cooling. See TDP for CPUs. Compare TGP when choosing gaming laptops.

Related Technical Terms
TDP
Sustained power/heat a chip is designed for; higher allows higher performance with more cooling.
Performance
Discrete GPU
A separate GPU chip with its own VRAM and cooling — much faster but uses more power.
Performance
Thermal Throttling
Chips slowing down when hot to stay within thermal limits; higher stability % means less slowdown.
