An architecture for a computer includes a primary processor that consumes power at a first rate, that is operated when the computer is in an high power mode and that is not powered when the computer is in a low power mode. A primary graphics processor communicates with the primary processor, is operated when the computer is in the high power mode and is not powered when the computer is in the low power mode. A secondary graphics processor communicates with a secondary processor. The secondary processor consumes power at a second rate that is less than the first rate. The secondary processor and the secondary graphics processor are operated when the computer is in the low power mode.
