This benchmark was added to 3DMark for Enterprise, helping organizations expand their understanding of their device’s gaming performance.
Procyon® One-Hour Battery Consumption Benchmark
Quickly test how device system changes affect battery consumption
Today's devices have numerous settings and optimizations that influence battery consumption, affecting usage time and productivity. Identifying which software and settings can impact battery life is particularly important in today's hybrid work environment.
IT managers need quick methods to assess the power consumption of potentially large software libraries, which can take days or weeks with full-drain battery life benchmarks.
The new Procyon One-Hour Battery Consumption Benchmark offers a quick and easy way to evaluate the impact of software or settings changes on device power draw, including OS updates, security software, and power profiles. This benchmark also launched with the macOS version of our UL Procyon Battery Life Benchmark, enabling cross-platform battery life comparison between Macs and PCs.
