Procyon^® One-Hour Battery Consumption Benchmark

Measure

The Procyon One-Hour Battery Consumption Benchmark simplifies the process of testing how software and system settings impact the battery life of a PC or Mac.

Please note that this benchmark is not designed for measuring and comparing a device’s battery life - we recommend our Procyon Battery Life Benchmark for that purpose.

Modern devices have many settings that affect power draw and testing them using a complete battery life benchmark takes a considerable amount of time. This benchmark provides a quick and easy way to understand the effect driver and OS updates, power-saving settings, and enterprise device management software have on a device’s battery consumption.

Different software versions, settings and optimizations can have varying levels of impact on consumption based on the current workload. The One-Hour Battery Consumption benchmark is built with specialized versions of the Office Productivity, Idle and Video Playback scenarios in the Procyon Battery Life Benchmark, letting you focus on a specific use-case or get results across a variety of real-world workloads.

Features

• Measure power consumption on PC or Mac.
• Run tests from the UI or via command line.
• Export results as Excel, XML or PDF files.
• Simple to setup and run, can be used offline.
• Screen brightness calibration tool (Windows).
• Easy to use with external power draw tools.

Relevant results

Accurately and consistently measuring battery consumption can prove challenging because drain depends on how the device is being used. The Procyon One-Hour Battery Consumption Benchmark quickly measures battery consumption in a range of real-world scenarios.

Designed for professionals

Created for hardware manufacturers and enterprise IT managers who need relevant, standardized tools for accurately and quickly measuring the battery consumption of different system settings, optimizations, or updates.

Easy to use

The benchmark is easy to install and run—no complicated configuration is required. Run the benchmark from the graphical UI or via the command line. View benchmark scores in the app or export detailed result files for further analysis.
