It would be fantastic if convergence devices like Ubuntu Edge could use this in both a mobile as well as a "docked" power state.

The way I'm envisioning it, the processor would detect when the device is docked in a full power desktop or notebook configuration. At that point it would switch to a higher power profile for PC gaming and work station class as computing tasks.

I wonder how you would deal with the extra heat output in a desktop state.

I was thinking about this quite a bit, and I imagine that you'd have a docking station of sorts that has it's own video card in it, with better cooling. Otherwise, I suppose you could have a docking station with active cooling.
