Abstract
Examples include techniques for dynamically modifying a platform form factor of a mobile device. In some examples, a system may include a split memory array having a first memory within a docking system and a second memory element within a small form factor (SFF) mobile device. A platform form factor determination component may dynamically select between multiple platform form factors based on a determination that the SFF mobile device is coupled with the docking system. An interface logic component may access the first memory storage of the docking system during a memory (e.g., graphics) computation when the mobile device is physically and electrically/communicably coupled with the docking system to allow the SFF mobile device to have full LFF functionality. When the SFF mobile device is disconnected from the docking system, the interface logic component may access only the second memory storage of the SFF mobile device to provide SFF functionality.
