burstcapable
Burstcapable is an attribute of a device or system indicating its ability to sustain periods of higher-than-normal performance by drawing energy from buffers or transient energy reserves, to briefly exceed its sustained specifications. The term is not standardized and appears in vendor documentation and engineering discussions to describe burst mode capabilities as a design feature rather than a constant state.
Implementation typically relies on mechanisms such as energy storage (capacitors or short-term batteries), larger caches or
Usage and examples vary by field. In CPUs and GPUs, burstcapable describes turbo or boost modes that
Because the term is informal and vendor-specific, a precise definition should be consulted in product documentation
