PCMark 10 Battery Life benchmark
Test battery life across a range of common scenarios
PCMark 10 introduces a new approach to battery life benchmarking. Instead of producing a single number, a PCMark 10 Battery Life Profile provides a broad view of battery life across five common scenarios: Modern Office, Applications, Video, Gaming, and Idle. Better battery benchmarking starts with a Battery Life Profile.
- Get a broad view of PC battery life across a range of common scenarios.
- Battery life testing based on real tasks and activities.
- Create and compare battery life profiles for different devices.
PCMark 10 Applications benchmark
Test PC performance with Microsoft Office applications
The PCMark 10 Applications benchmark measures practical, real-world PC performance for the modern workplace with tests that run in Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Edge.
With this test, you can also benchmark the latest Always Connected PCs powered by Windows 10 on Arm, with results that are comparable with scores from traditional x86-based devices.
- Measure real-world performance.
- Relevant tests based on Microsoft applications.
- Test and compare Arm and x86-based devices.
PCMark 10 Storage benchmarks
Modern storage benchmarks for modern storage devices
Full System Drive Benchmark
The Full System Drive Benchmark uses a wide-ranging set of real-world traces from popular applications and common tasks to fully test the performance of the fastest modern drives.
Quick System Drive Benchmark
The Quick System Drive Benchmark is a shorter test with a smaller set of less demanding real-world traces that is designed for smaller system drives that are unable to run the Full System Drive benchmark.
Data Drive Benchmark
The Data Drive Benchmark is designed to test drives that are used for storing files rather than applications. You can also use this test with NAS drives, USB sticks, memory cards, and other external storage devices.
Drive Performance Consistency Test
The Drive Performance Consistency Test is a long-running test with a heavy, continuous load. In-depth reporting for expert users shows how the performance of the drive varies under different conditions.
