A method includes providing, in a data processing device including a Central Processing Unit (CPU) and a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), a capability to interface a microprocessor with the GPU, and communicatively interfacing a sensor with the microprocessor. The method also includes obtaining data related to an operating environment external to the data processing device through the sensor, and determining, through the microprocessor, personalization required of a computing environment of the data processing device with respect to a user thereof based on the data related to the operating environment external to the data processing device. Further, the method includes utilizing the GPU solely to effect the personalization required of the computing environment of the data processing device with respect to the user determined through the microprocessor to reduce power consumption through the data processing device.
