AMD: Let’s Revamp Notebook Battery Metrics

If you have bought a laptop recently was a request on your mind probably battery life. If you plan on leaving your laptop on a desk for most of his life, is a manufacturer-estimated in terms of mobile operating time is an important statistic. Of the 9 netbooks with hours to claim some squeeze-out of a DELL Latitude D630 battery that could see a couple of hours with a 17-inch gaming powerhouse, is battery life is almost as important to some, such as RAM or processor speed.

With notebooks now represent a much larger chunk computer sales, compared to some years ago, many believe it is high time that manufacturers offer to both additional and accurate information regarding the Dell Inspiron 1520 battery life. If a company claims their product to run on battery for four hours, which is for conditions that figure from? Is it four hours watching a simple Web-surfing, or four hours during a game or DVD?

Nigel Dessau, AMD’s Chief Marketing Officer will, a new metric for measuring notebook batteries. “Did you have a difference between your actual devices battery life compared to what you expect the manufacturer? I’m told,” Dessau said in a company blog. “Against this background it is interesting to examine how computers are evaluated on Dell Studio 1436 battery life look Typically, you only get a number -. And most people have no idea what that number really means in terms of how they actually .. with the apparatus ., this number is the PC’s battery life put the machine in use, or sitting idle? ”

Dessau is then compared to two different systems – one with an AMD Turion Ultra processor and an Intel Core 2 Duo processor. When his team MobileMark07 ran the numbers a great discrepancy between the two systems show in terms of waiting time. However, if both systems run 3DMark06 to measure the Dell Latitude E6500 battery, the AMD and Intel notebooks in the near identical terms. For this reason, believes that notebook makers should start with Dessau separate battery life estimates for idle times and working hours.

So what does rival Intel think about the metrics proposal? “There are many ways to measure the battery life,” said an Intel spokeswoman, the Wall Street Journal. “We believe the best way to determine how to measure Dell Studio 1737 battery life by making proposals and discuss it in industry consortia and not blog posts. “Clearly, the results of AMD against Intel notebook should run showdown of AMD be taken with caution, to know definitely that a notebook would be for 6 hours idle but only DVDs for two hours certainly welcome the by consumers.
